Sweat: Major Concern

·      Physical activity is omnipresent in today’s life

·      Sweat is a natural by-product of any physical activity

·      While sweat regulates the body temperature, accumulation in between fabric and skin causes irritation and bacterial growth

·      This in turn caused bad odour and discomfort

·      We need “smarter” apparel that remain fresh and odour-free for extended periods.

 

Dealing with Sweat:

When sweat meets fabric, 3 things can happen

• Sweat gets repelled: eg.: With commodity polyester

– Causes high level of discomfort

– Least optimal scenario

 

• Sweat gets absorbed: eg.: With cotton, viscose

– Causes clothes to become heavy

 

• Sweat gets transported: eg.: With functional polyester

– Faster evaporation leading to cool, dry and fresh feeling

 

Fabrics Absorption vs Wicking:

	Absorption	Wicking
Action	Fibers absorb and capture sweat	Fibers transport the sweat to the outer fabric surface
Mechanism	Sweat is absorbed into micropores inside fiber	Special profile enables sweat to spread over a larger area for faster evaporation
Body Feel	Keeps the body damp longer	Dries and cools the body faster
Perfect for	Perfect for applications where being cool and fresh are not a priority	Perfect for wearing as a single layer during physical activities.
Fabric feel	Apparel can feel heavy or clingy	Apparel feels dry, fresh and comfortable
Examples of fabric	Cotton, viscose	Performance Polyester

 

What is Kooltex ?

Specially Engineered Polyesters to

·      Improve "breathability" compared to natural fibers like cotton.

·      Ensure permanent comfort through wick-away action

·      Draw moisture away from the skin through capillary action

·      Increase evaporation over a wider surface area.

·      Have permanent moisture management function; efficacy lasts throughout of garment life

·      Lend Softer Feel

·      Excellent results in various applications, especially denim

 

Benefits:

·      Help move moisture away from body through quick capillary actions

·      Spread to larger area on fabrics enables moisture to evaporates quickly and dry fast.

·      Ensures performance and desired comfort through use of specially engineered polyester with defined micro channels

·      Easy moisture transport

·      Softer hand touch

 

Unique Manufacturing Process:

3 major manufacturing activities to create and maintain special functionality

·      Special hardware: Imparts special profile to the polyester

·      Unique cooling process: Ensures uniform profile is maintained through the complete manufacturing process.

·      Untouched by hand: Automatic Package Handling System that enables no-touch manufacturing till dispatch.
