At present, the fabrics used in quick-drying fabrics are mainly polyester fibers, and some of them use environmentally friendly fibers such as soybeans. Polyester fiber, also called nylon, has different water absorption properties from cotton and linen. After the cotton and linen are saturated with water, they have the ability to store water and are siphonic, that is, when a drop of water drops on the cotton and linen clothing, the water will spread immediately. The biggest feature of polyester fiber is that it does not siphon after water absorption, but increases the evaporation rate by increasing the wet area.

According to the style and other factors, the polyester fiber content of different quick-drying fabrics also has certain differences. Some contain 100% polyester fiber, and some may also contain fiber components such as cotton and linen.

Among them, spandex will make clothes have a certain degree of elasticity, while LYCRA is a special spandex, which can be thoroughly fused with natural and man-made fibers, and can also increase the comfort of fabrics or clothing, the sense of tightness, Free movement and longevity.
