Sympatex presents 3D moisture-transporting laminate
04/07/2013
Foam points on the inside of the Phaseable laminate touch the skin, and during the recovery phase of the athlete, an insulating layer of air is created between the skin and the laminate. When the physical activity is increased, moisture is produced, which lets the compact hydrophilic membrane swell up and the foam points disappear so the laminate gets closer to the skin, improving moisture transport
“The 3D 2.5-layer laminate is as light as a two-layer laminate, but offers the stability of a three-layer laminate,” said Haymo Strubel, director of apparel at Sympatex. “In addition to the high requirements in regard to the performance, we have focused on the ecological compatibility of the product during development.”
Sympatex will present the technology at the OutDoor Fair in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from July 11 to 14.
