How Acrylic Fabrics do Moisture Management?
The dermisphere is the air space between human skin and clothing. Whatever may be the air temperature or in whatever activity a wearer may be engaged, the type of fibers and the construction of the fabric wholly affects the state of his dermisphere. The type of fibers and construction of the fabric directly affect the climate in one’s dermisphere, and determine how comfortable, or uncomfortable one is regardless of the air temperature or activity in which the person is engaged. Due to its greater wicking ability, acrylic fibers pick up the moisture, formed primarily due to sweating, and transport it to the garment’s outer surface from where the moisture evaporates. Thus the skin remains dry and the wearer feels comfortable. On the contrary, if someone is wearing a garment made of a fabric which is not effective in absorbing moisture, he will definitely feel uncomfortable due too the damp skin. Thus acrylic fabric is a good moisture management fabric. Moisture Dissipation Test In moistu
