What is quick drying fabric? What are its characteristics?
Introduction to Quick Drying Fabric - Main Functions
The main function of quick drying fabrics is to quickly sweat away. It does not absorb sweat, but quickly transfers it to the surface of the clothing, and accelerates the evaporation rate by expanding the area as much as possible, thus achieving the goal of quick drying.
Wearing regular Sportswear and immediately transitioning to a resting state after sweating during exercise can lead to illness due to changes in body temperature. And quick drying fabrics can disperse moisture and provide good warmth, which is beneficial for keeping the skin dry and fresh. It is worth mentioning that when doing outdoor sports, quick drying fabrics can play a better role in windproof, rainproof, and moisture-proof aspects.
Introduction to Quick Drying Fabric - Material Introduction
Most of the quick drying fabrics are made of synthetic fibers, but due to different processing techniques, they have functions that ordinary clothing does not possess. In general, wearing quick drying noodles in spring and summer is much more convenient and practical than wearing heavy assault jackets.
At present, the fabrics used for quick drying fabrics are mainly Polyester Fibers, and some also use environmentally friendly fibers such as soybeans. Polyester fiber, also known as nylon, has different water absorption properties from cotton and linen. Cotton and linen have the ability to store water when saturated with water, and they also have siphon properties, meaning that when a drop of water falls onto cotton and linen clothing, the water will immediately spread. The major characteristic of polyester fiber is that it does not siphon after absorbing water, but increases the moist area and evaporation rate.
According to factors such as style, the polyester fiber content of different quick drying fabrics also varies to some extent. Some contain polyester fibers, while others may also contain fiber components such as cotton and linen.
