Description
Quick-drying is an important attribute of textiles worn next to the skin, during sporting activities where the skin is likely to perspire. ProDry replicates the conditions to verify the quick-drying fabrics are performing effectively.
The ProDry is capable of measuring the rate at which a textile specimen dries after being exposed to water. The specimen is placed on a heated plate, which is maintained at 37°C to simulate the temperature at which human skin begins to perspire. Water is dosed on to the heated plate underneath the specimen to simulate perspiration.
The temperature drops when the specimen is wet and as the specimen dries, the temperature gradually increases. James Heal’s TestWise software records this change in temperature and automatically calculates the drying time and rate of the tested specimen.
