A function and finishing technology that quickly absorbs sweat and dries rapidly
A textile function and finishing technique that quickly absorbs sweat or moisture onto the fabric surface and evaporates it outward. It helps maintain comfort by reducing the time moisture stays in the fibers. It is primarily achieved through specially spinning the cross-sections of polyester or nylon or through surface hydrophilic finishing.
Absorbed and spread moistureDIFFUSED MOISTUREUse
It is widely used in sportswear with high sweat discharge, outdoor apparel, functional underwear, and summer T-shirts. It is applied to reduce the phenomenon of fabric sticking to the skin in environments where people sweat heavily.
- Moisture absorption Quickly draws sweat away from the skin surface through capillary action
- Moisture diffusion and drying Widely spreads the absorbed moisture across the fabric surface to evaporate it rapidly into the air
Care
Using fabric softener can form a film on the surface of functional fibers, which may degrade their absorption function. In addition, high-heat drying carries the risk of deforming the fine cross-sectional structure of synthetic fibers, so air drying naturally in the shade is appropriate.
Additional information
- Water repellent
- A finishing that repels water on the surface, which is different from moisture-wicking quick-dry that absorbs moisture and dries it.
- Waterproof
- A function that completely blocks the fabric surface so that water cannot penetrate inside the fabric.
