Performance characteristics of moisture wicking workwear fabrics

2022-04-09

Usually, when the human body is engaged in strenuous exercise, a large amount of sweat will be clearly felt. In fact, even under normal environmental conditions, the human body needs to constantly "evaporate without feeling" to release the heat and water produced by the body's metabolism, thereby maintaining a constant body temperature. Therefore, how to transfer heat and moisture from the body surface to the outside through a series of processes of "moisture absorption-conduction-evaporation" with the help of textiles and clothing that are in close contact with the skin constitutes the core of the function of moisture wicking workwear.

Functional fabrics for moisture wicking workwear require both water absorption and quick-drying properties. Starting from the chemical structure modification of the fiber raw material, the hygroscopicity is improved. By changing the physical shape and structure of the fiber material, the capillary effect is used to improve the moisture absorption and moisture conduction performance. Through reasonable fabric structure design, the effect of increasing moisture absorption and perspiration can be achieved. Use appropriate finishing techniques (including coating finishes) to impart good moisture wicking properties to the fabric.

Generally speaking, moisture wicking work clothes use the capillary phenomenon generated by the micro-grooves on the fiber surface to make the sweat migrate to the surface of the fabric through wicking, diffusion, transmission, etc. and quickly volatilize, so as to achieve the purpose of moisture conduction and quick drying. It can be said that the capillary effect is a common and intuitive method that can express the sweat absorption and diffusion ability of fabrics. Some people also call moisture wicking fibers breathable fibers, which are functional fibers that focus on moisture wicking and underwear comfort.

The fabrics of moisture wicking work clothes have some excellent properties: 1. Sweat-absorbing and breathable: The fabric has excellent sweat-absorbing performance, good air permeability, moisture-absorbing and quick-drying, and can quickly guide sweat and moisture away from the skin surface, which can eliminate the dryness, airtightness, etc. of synthetic fiber fabrics. Does not absorb sweat and other disadvantages. 2. Hydrophilicity and anti static properties: The fabrics finished with this product have excellent hydrophilicity, good anti static properties, small electrostatic effect, not easy to vacuum, have certain antifouling properties, and are easy to wash. 3. Softness: The fabrics finished with this product are soft, comfortable and elegant.
