MOISTURE:
A garment or sock must be able to handle the amount of sweat
being produced by the body and continuously move the moisture
away from the skin; in order to allow the body to continue its
natural cooling action through sweating. The material must also “dry” very
fast to avoid “wetting out”.
PTFE is extremely hydrophobic; thus wicking will occur very fast
(as drying); but it will also be high performing for not “wetting
out” like most products on the market today. Because PTFE
is very hydrophobic; NanoGLIDE™ will conquer wicking, wetting
out and moisture management; at maximum speed.
Fabrics with NanoGLIDE™ will allow heat/moisture generated
by the body to escape through; or on the fabric into the surrounding
atmosphere. Nothing dries faster.
Heat: Heat Management is the ability of a fabric to allow the
skin surface to cool; but to also address heat caused by static
and kinetic friction. PTFE's coefficient of FRICTION is 0.1
or less, which is the second lowest of any known solid material
known to man kind; eliminating Static and Kinetic friction;
thus allowing the skin surface to stay cool by eliminating friction
and abrasion on the skins surface.
NanoGLIDE™ will yield a cooler product on the skins surface
by eliminating abrasion and friction. |
