Introduction of quick-drying fabrics--main functions

The main function of quick-drying fabrics is to quickly wick away sweat. It does not absorb sweat, but quickly transfers sweat to the surface of the clothes, and accelerates the evaporation rate by expanding the area as much as possible, so as to achieve the purpose of quick-drying.

Wearing ordinary sportswear and immediately entering a resting state after exercising and sweating will cause you to get sick due to changes in human body temperature. The quick-drying fabric can dissipate moisture and keep warm, which helps to keep the skin dry and fresh. In particular, when doing outdoor sports, quick-drying fabrics can play a better role in windproof, rainproof and moistureproof.

Introduction of quick-drying fabrics--Material introduction

Most of the quick-drying fabrics are made of chemical fiber fabrics, but due to different processing techniques, they have the effect that ordinary clothes do not have. Under normal circumstances, wearing quick-drying fabrics in spring and summer is much more convenient and practical than heavy jackets.

At present, the fabrics used in quick-drying fabrics are mainly polyester fibers, and some environmentally friendly fibers such as soybeans are also used. Polyester fiber, also called nylon, has a different water absorption than cotton and linen. Cotton and linen have water storage capacity after being saturated with water, and have siphonic properties, that is, a drop of water drops on cotton and linen clothing, and the water will spread immediately. The biggest feature of polyester fiber is that it does not siphon after absorbing water, but increases the evaporation rate by increasing the wet area.

According to factors such as style, the polyester fiber content of different quick-drying fabrics is also different. Some contain polyester fibers, while others may also contain fiber components such as cotton and linen.
