In the modern textile industry, consumers’ demands for fabrics are no longer limited to appearance and handle. Still, functionality and wearing comfort are becoming important factors in determining the value of products, especially synthetic fibers represented by polyester. For they have high strength, good wear resistance and they are easy to care for, they are widely used. However, generally they have the disadvantages of poor moisture absorption, insufficient quick-drying property, static electricity accumulation and easy staining, etc, which restrict their further application in sportswear, casual wear and functional clothing. To solve this problem, a moisture quick dry agent is introduced into the textile finishing process. It can impart polyester fabric excellent moisture absorption, water diversion, quick drying and antistatic property, so as to comprehensively improve the function and value of fabric.
Principle of Moisture Quick Dry Agent
The moisture quick dry agent can introduce hydrophilic molecular chains to the surface of polyester fibers to improve the surface energy of the fibers, so that the water can spread rapidly on the fiber surface and diffuse over a larger area through the capillary effect, thereby achieving rapid absorption and evaporation.
This finishing not only solves the traditional defect of “holding sweat and not breathable” of polyester, but also further imparts fabrics with the following performance:
- Improves moisture absorption: Water drops can rapidly penetrate the fiber surface to achieve “instant water absorption”.
- Enhances quick drying performance: Moisture diffuses rapidly through capillary channels. The evaporation efficiency is significantly increased.
- Kuchli chidamlilik: After 20 times of household washing, it can still keep stable moisture absorption and a quick-drying effect.
- Anti-static performance: Reduces the accumulation of static electricity and reduces the phenomenon of uncomfortable wearing and dust absorption.
- Improves anti-staining ability: The hydrophilicity of the fiber surface is strengthened, so that the stain can be more easily washed and removed.
Applicable Fields and Application
Moisture quick dry agent is widely applied in functional textiles, mainly polyester. The typical application includes:
- Outdoor fabric: Suitable for long-time wearing when mountaineering, hiking and riding.
- Outdoor fabric: Suitable for long-time wearing when mountaineering, hiking and riding.
- Home textiles and industrial fabrics: Such as beddings, temp and filter materials that have higher requirements for quick drying and anti-static performance.
Application Process
A moisture management agent can be applied in the exhaust process or the padding process:
Exhaust process:
- Dosage: 1.0~4.0% o.w.f
- Process: 40~50℃ × 20–30 min → Dewater and dry → Stentering (160~190℃)
Padding process：
- Dosage: 10~50 g/L
- Process: Dipping and padding twice (Pickup: 65~75%) → Stentering (160~190℃)
Both methods can stably obtain excellent, quick-drying and anti-static finishing effects, which are adaptable to the production lines of most knitted fabrics and woven fabrics.
