AquaBreath®
Fabric Breathing System Initiated by Body Humidity
Taiwan Textile Research InstituteAquaBreath® is the world's first 100% nylon-made fiber, which responds to the wearer's skin humidity condition. It has the functions of "moisture absorption elongation and drying shrinkage", resulting in breathable and deformable changes in fabric. The fabric made of AquaBreath®100% nylon-made fiber can absorb moisture when sweating, to increase air permeability; when dry, the moisture release to reduces heat loss and to prevent shivering. After recycling, mono-material fibers can be reused without extra fiber separation processing, which greatly reduce carbon emissions and achieve sustainable environmental protection goals.
