Huntsman launches low-friction system for sportswear
29/07/2013
Supported by research by European testing institutes, EverGlide Low Friction Systems enhances fabric resilience and durability and it wicks away perspiration from the skin.
It has a soft, silky handle, and uses versatile application procedures that can be used on all substrates. Its low yellowing properties ensure no influence on thermomigration and degree of whiteness even under moulding conditions.
Hunstman tested EverGlide on nylon/ elastane and polyester knits and says it is four times more effective than conventional softeners, remaining highly durable and performing well under wet conditions.
“Huntsman understands how added comfort in active wear, particularly for endurance sports, can go a long way in providing the wearer with enhanced comfort so that they can better focus on their activity and to excel in their sports,” said Stephen Gray, vice-president of marketing and planning. “We believe we have provided our end user customers with key differentiators of superior performance with maximum comfort for their endurance sports active wear.”
