Moisture-wicking fabric

For fabric moisture absorption and perspiration, generally Consumers will be confused. In fact, these are two concepts, namely moisture absorption and moisture removal of fabrics.

First, let’s talk about moisture absorption. Polyester is an example of a synthetic fiber. In fact, it has low water absorption and poor moisture permeability, and it is easy to feel stuffy during activities. Cotton is an example of a natural fiber. It has good hygroscopicity and is comfortable to wear, but when a person sweats a lot, , cotton fibers will swell due to moisture absorption and stick to the skin. At the same time, the moisture dissipation speed is also slow, thus giving the human body a cold and wet feeling. Say goodbye to sweat and stay cool, soft and comfortable.

Specially designed for moisture-wicking finishing, mainly For sports and outdoor sportswear, the fabric has the characteristics of absorbing sweat, being beautiful and comfortable, and is suitable for the finishing process of all fibers

What is moisture wicking? This term refers to a non-hydrophilic fabric that is both hygroscopic and quick-drying. Generally speaking, it is difficult for both natural and synthetic fibers to have both properties, but moisture-wicking processing technology can achieve this. Therefore, for polyester fibers that do not absorb water at all, moisture-wicking processing technology gives it new life.

Moisture-wicking fabricsThe main functions are polyester moisture-wicking fabrics and nylon moisture-wicking fabrics. Polyester moisture-wicking fabrics are a highly crystalline fiber. There is no hydrophilic group in the main chain of the molecule, so it is hydrophobic and has poor moisture absorption and perspiration. Therefore, the clothing has poor moisture permeability and feels stuffy. There are also various troubles caused by the easy accumulation of static electricity. A look at the development of moisture-wicking polyester. It is mainly implemented through physical and chemical modification, or a combination of both.

The moisture removal of the fabric mainly depends on the fiber physical structure form. The gaseous moisture evaporated from the skin surface is first absorbed by the fabric (that is, moisture absorption, —- note, it is the fabric that absorbs moisture, not the fiber!) and then is absorbed by the pores (pores, micropores, grooves) inside the fiber and between the fibers. The capillary effect produced by the gaps allows moisture to be absorbed and diffused between fabrics. In this way, moisture migrates to the surface of the fabric and evaporates, thereby completing the moisture removal process. oE6JGg
