What is Moisture Management ?

The ability of a garment to transport moisture away from the skin to the garments outer surface

Moisture management often refers to thetransport of both moisture vapor & liquid awayfrom the body. Moisture vapor can pass through openings between filters of yarns. In the case of cotton or other hydrophilic fibers the fiber can serve as a buffer by absorbing moisture vapor & adding to the comfort properties of a fabric. Liquid water( or perspiration) must be wicked into a fabric structure & then evaporate from the outside of the fabric.

Textile as a barrier to comfortTextile commonly worn act as a barrier between the external Environment & the human body. The behavior of moisture inVarious fibers is different owing to their physical & chemicalProperties making it uncomfortable to the wearer- unless theMoisture is carried away by a natural drying process or aided by the apparel.Polyester is being increasingly used in apparel, especially due to Its strength, durability & fastness etc. Unfortunately owing to itsInherent properties it can not absorb & transport moisture fromBody sweat. In some structures such as polyester knits, theWater absorption of sweat released as perspiration, however such modification either by fabric construction fiber & or chemical treatment make the fabric absorbent thereby retaining moisture inside the fabric for long period of time. Such retention will then result into “post exercise chill” as the retaining moisture starts absorbing the body heat to evaporate from fabric.

Current Technologies Presently the concept of Moisture management is limited to moisture absorption. The Absorption property of a Textile fabric can be evaluated by the following 3 methods.1) Wicking :A capillary action in warp & weft direction.2) Drop Test: The time takenby a drop of water to get totally absorbed by the fabric& stop spreading.3) Area : The total surface area covered by known Amount of water in a specifictime period.Currently various products Are Available commerciallyWhich include hydrophilic cationic, Anionic blends &silicone oil Emulsions which assures quick absorption.

Limitations

While the currentTechnologies to Improve the Absorption Properties, thereAre questions on Durability of the Performance, the Requirement of Process conditions& silicone films, Which tend toBreak during use& washing.

So what is Comfort all about

To be able to create Comfort in apparel & more particularly inIntimate wear or Sportswear, the textileSubstrate has to beProgrammed to quicklyAttract moisture & Release moisture evenMore quickly leading toSwift drying/ This Releases valuable areaOf the apparel for the Next round of absorption

Additional benefits

1) Quest –AQ combines the dual effect of quick absorption & quick drying for polyester & polyester rich blend.2) Quest –AQ increased the speed of moisture diffusion in 3 directions enabling the fabric to left perspiration immediately from the skin to the outer surface of the garment as the moisture does not get trapped in the clothing.3) Three dimensional warp wise, weft wise & atmospheric transportation of moisture designed for polyester & polyester fabrics or garments.4) Dry, soft breathable fabric & garments made from Quest –AQ makes the user in total comfort – NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITIONS5) Ensures removal of moisture or sweat at much higher speed & keep the body dry with no after sweat chill effect.6) Imparts non-cling performance to 100% polyester for better wearer comfort.
