AKWADYNE® is a registered trademark of Comfort Technologies, Inc licensed to Alice Lace Co., Ltd of Taiwan. Akwadyne® is a finish that is applied to nylon based fabrics to help warm or cool the body during outdoor activity. Akwadyne® pulls moisture away from the body, and creates a vapour barrier that cools the body in warm temperatures, and warms the body in cold temperatures.
Unlike most moisture transport fabrics that rely on fabric
construction or chemical coatings to pull sweat away from the body,
Akwadyne® modifies the molleculer structure of the fiber providing a "chemical magnet" which uses the inherent properties of water to move it away from the body as needed. Termed "electrochemical transport",
this process separates and moves molecules of water using the positive
and negative charges contained in each individual molecule. As a
result, garments made of Akwadyne® can heat one area of the body while cooling another.
AKWATEK® is a registered trademark of Comfort Technologies, Inc licensed to Alice Lace Co., Ltd of Taiwan. It is an already existing polyester and nylon coating that is conducive in hot temperatures. It uses thermoregulatory action to help an athlete stay either cool or hot depending on the conditions.
Unlike fabrics that rely on capillary action, Akwatek do not need to be
worn close to the skin to work. Akwatek uses a process called
electrochemical transport, which chemically modifies the fibers with
which it is made. This change in the fibers can not be obstructed when
the fabric is washed. So Akwatek is a patented process applied to fiber,
yarn, or fabrics of 100% polyester. It creates a high performance
fabric for the everyday athlete to help manage the temperature of the body by handling the sweat. This
process can modify stable fiber, yarn, or fabric and can be applied to
spun and filament yarns to produce both knits and wovens.
Akwatek says the following about its product:
In
warm temperatures the fabric responds electrostatically, moving
moisture and excess heat from the body to the surface of the fabric for
release. The fabric adjusts its properties in hot weather to help keep the wearer cooler and drier.
The more a wearer perspires, the more the fabric electrostatically
moves moisture from the body. As activity decreases the fabric will
reduce the evaporative process, leaving a constant water barrier between
the wearer and the fabric.
Akwatek have 3 times the evaporation ability over capillary or acid coated fabrics when initial contact is made with water.
Even with over 125 washings, results show no decrease in product performance.
Tests
prove that after machine spinning cycle 250% less water remained in the
Akwatek and Akwadyne garments than in other garments using outdated
technology.
