New milestone for Dryarn
28/03/2008
After two years of research conducted at the Dermatological Clinic of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Dryarn — the polypropylene microfibre produced by the Aquafil group — has successfully achieved official 'skin friendly' status.
It means the microfibre causes no unpleasant effects to the body, especially to people with very sensitive or problematic skin.
The study was carried out on a sample of approximately 300 volunteers with sensitive skin, through three main phases.
During the final stage, the volunteers woe clothing produced exclusively in Dryarn night and day for one month to study the effects on ailments such as erythema and xerosis.
Results were excellent. At the end of the test all patients expressed a positive opinion with regard to tolerability and comfort of the clothes and conveyance of transpiration. Furthermore, the Modena team found improvement in some patients originally suffering from dermatitis or itchy skin.
Aquafil says Dryarn is the first synthetic fibre to pass this milestone.
