When soaked in water, the polymer crystals expand, and turn into a crystalline gel. The fabric absorbs water from the polymer, allowing the water to slowly evaporate for a cooling effect. The fabric stays cool and moist for hours due to the polymer’s water-retaining properties and the slow evaporation rate.
