Moisture Management<br />

Complete removal of moisture combined with<br />

an accelerated spreading and evaporation rate<br />

results in a rapidly drying textile and thus increased<br />

wearing comfort with <strong>Clariant</strong>’s products :<br />

PA : Hydroperm RPU (best wash permanence)<br />

Hydroperm ECO (low to medium wash<br />

permanence)<br />

Cotton : Hydroperm RPU (best wash permanence)<br />

Hydroperm ECO (low to medium wash<br />

permanence)<br />

PES : Hydroperm SRHA (medium to high wash<br />

permanence)<br />

Remark: Hydoperm ECO is the best<br />

product for improving vertical wicking on CO and PA.<br />
