The Kocotree sun protective swimsuit adopts an innovative KK raw yarn system to possess ten features, including sun-protective, chlorine-resistant, quick-drying, and antibacterial properties, and exceed the national standard after 1,000 washes, providing children with a friendly and safe sun-protective swimsuit.
The swimsuit is salt-and chlorine-resistant and retains a vertical stretch elastic recovery rate of 74.9% and a horizontal stretch elastic recovery rate of 88.4% after 1,000 soaks in chlorinated environments such as swimming pools and beaches, prolonging product life and reducing the risk of fading and shrinkage. It uses broadband photon irradiation to change the yarn's molecular structure to form a super-antibacterial barrier, which ensures a stable and long-standing antibacterial effect (7A bacterial resistance after 1,000 soaks), effectively reduces the adherence of three types of harmful bacteria, and protects children's health.
To enhance sun-protective performance, its yarn uses titanium-dioxide light factor to become inherently UV-resistant. After 1,000 washes, its UPF value remains 158+, which can block 97% of UV rays whether it's wet or dry to protect children's delicate skin. Together with the split design of the long sleeves and pants, it offers comprehensive protection.
The swimsuit is made from stretch fiber fabric, ensuring consistent elasticity. The stitches have undergone a four-needle, six-thread technique to secure a highly elastic, flat, high-strength stitching effect that reduces chafing on the body and allows for freedom of movement.
