Moisture Management Finish
Estofeel (Conc)
Therefore, to make a wearer feel comfortable, not only should the fabric evaporate the
perspiration from the skin surface to the fabric surface but, the moisture should also get
evaporated.
Understanding the requirement of the end users, Sarex has developed a moisture management
finishing chemical which can be applied on polyester, polyamide and cellulosic substrates to
improve the wicking property of fibre and make the fabric moisture management.
