Simple Talk About Syntrel™ Microfiber polyester
Microfiber (or Microfibre) is a polyester filament with a strand
thickness less than one denier – or about 1/100th the thickness of a
human hair. Microfiber yarn is produced by spinning varying amounts of
these fine filaments to form a single yarn.
Microfiber has existed in nature since the silk worm spun its first
cocoon. Man was successful in producing the first microfiber polyester
in 1986. Since then, sales of garments made of microfiber knits or
wovens have grown faster any other fabrics.
Syntrel™ is Zorrel’s exclusive microfiber knit fabric and offers the following features:
- Light weight
- Smooth silky hand and drape
- Wrinkle free
- Easy care
- Natural Stretch
- Extreme Moisture transport capability (see below)
- Natural insulating qualities
Moisture Transport Capabilities of Syntrel™
Many people believe that moisture transports through a fabric – like a
cotton ball absorbing water. While cotton absorbs moisture in the
molecular structure of the yarn, microfiber does not absorb moisture. It
moves moisture through the knit structure by capillary action, pulling
it from the skin and dispersing it on the surface where air will
evaporate it.
The ability to move moisture quickly and in great quantity without
absorption makes microfiber the perfect fabric for sports and extreme
work situations. A long distance runner will perspire more than one
liter (quart) of moisture every twenty minutes in a marathon.
Microfibers effectively transport this moisture away from the skin
keeping the wearer cooler and drier. If the same athlete were wearing
pure cotton it would be both wet and heavy from the absorbed moisture,
and stay that way for a much longer period of time.
Technical fabrics like Syntrel™ are moving from the gym, golf course
and track to the street and workplace. People are demanding the
technical capabilities of microfiber in hot outdoor working conditions,
in steamy factories or just for every day wear in any climate.
