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

Moisture management often refers to the transport of both

moisture vapor & liquid away from the body. Moisture vapor

can pass through openings between filters of yarns. In thecase 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 in

various fibers is different owing to their physical & chemical

properties 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 its inherent properties it can not

absorb & transport moisture from body sweat. In somestructures such as polyester knits, the water 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 thenresult 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.

Wicking :A capillary action in warp & weft direction.

Drop Test: The time taken by a drop of water to get totally

absorbed by the fabric & stop spreading. Area : The total surface area covered by known amount of water

in a specific time period.

Currently various products are available commercially which

include hydrophilic cationic, Anionic blends & silicone oil emulsions

which assures quick absorption.

Limitations

While the current technologies to improve the

absorption properties, there are questions ondurability of the performance, the

requirement of process conditions & silicone

films, which tend to break during use &

washing.

So what is Comfort

all about


6/10

To be able to create comfort in apparel & more

particularly in intimate wear or sportswear, the textile

substrate has to be programmed to quickly attract

moisture & release moisture even more quicklyleading to swift drying. This releases valuable area of

the apparel for the next round of absorption

Additional benefits

Quest AQ combines the dual effect of quick

absorption & quick drying for polyester &

polyester rich blend.

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.

Three dimensional warp wise, weft wise &

atmospheric transportation of moisture designed

for polyester & polyester fabrics or garments. Dry, soft breathable fabric & garments made from

Quest AQ makes the user in total comfort

NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITIONS

Ensures removal of moisture or sweat at much

higher speed & keep the body dry with no after

sweat chill effect.

Imparts non-cling performance to 100% polyester

for better wearer comfort.

Standard usage is shown below & should vary

depending on the target material, the purpose &

conditions. Conduct a preliminary test fordetermining an appropriate amount including the

compatibility with other chemical Agents to used:
