The
Cold Feet Solution:
Silver Socks with the Natural Silver
Fibre
 |
Any cold Feet solution must address radiation,
evaporation and convection with Natural Silver Fibre these
heat transfer mechanisms are addressed using the following
principles:
|
Reflectivity:
Silver has an Infrared (IR) Reflectivity rating of greater than
95%, the highest of any other element.
In other words, 95% of the radiative energy that contacts silver
will be reflected back to its source. As a result, silver gloves,
socks and underwear minimize radiative heat loss by actively reflecting
the body’s energy back to the skin.
Natural Silver Fibre gloves, socks and underwear
designed for cold weather will therefore be significantly warmer
than ordinary socks without Natural Silver Fibre.
Emissivity:
Silver has one of the lowest emissivity ratings
of any element, which means that it radiates thermal energy very
slowly. Silver will remain warm for a very long period of time
(as opposed to other elements, which would remain hot or warm
for a very short period of time).
Natural Silver Fibre gloves, socks and underwear
designed for cold weather, any heat not reflected back to the
body by the fiber will be absorbed and stored in the fiber for
an extended period of time.
As a result, Silver Fibre gloves, socks and underwear will keep
the body warmer for longer.
The Warm Feet Solution:

Fibre

As the temperature gets warmer, radiation is no
longer the primary cause of heat transfer. Any warm climate
solution must address conduction, evaporation and convection.
Silver Gloves, Socks and Underwear address conduction and
evaporation (convection must be built into the fabric design)
using new technology principles:
|
Thermal Conductivity:
Silver is the most thermally conductive element on the planet.
Natural Silver Fibre, therefore, works to
quickly and evenly distribute and transfer heat throughout the
socks, gloves and underwear.
In warm weather, when conduction is the only primary
means of heat transfer, silver enhances the bodies natural actions
by accelerating the conduction of heat from the skin (a product
without silver would simply be a barrier to heat conduction).
Much like a silver spoon in a cup of hot tea, the
Silver Fibre will transfer the heat from the skin to the ambient
air, thereby cooling the body.
Natural Silver Fibre accelerates the movement
of moisture through evaporation. As a result, Silver gloves, socks
and underwear allows for increased comfort in warm weather by
minimizing moisture contact with the skin, therefore keeping the
body dryer for longer.
