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 />
Hydrophilic softener to be used with these<br />
products :<br />
Solusoft TOW Solusoft SE1<br />
Hydroperm HV Dilasoft TF<br />
