Evolon® is breathable, which means it is permeable to water vapour. This
is due to the extremely fine microfilaments, which create millions of
“micro”-channels to allow air flow.
These microfilaments also
provide superior moisture management: water such as sweat is absorbed
by Evolon®, the fabric then dries very quickly wicking moisture away
from the skin.
In industrial applications such as technical packaging, breathability also allows solvent residues to evaporate through Evolon®.
With a very large internal surface area, created by microfilaments, in contact with the air, Evolon® dries very fast.
Evolon® is a perfect protective layer against dust mite allergens.
Evolon®’s
filtration ability is due to the dense, compact structure of tightly
entangled microfilaments. The very small dust mite allergen parts
are retained under the Evolon® layer, and cannot get in contact with the
allergy sufferer. No “plastic” coating, no additional chemical
treatment is needed to achieve this protection.
Evolon® is downproof. The dense compact fabric holds feathers in down comforters and pillows.
Evolon® is suitable for ultrasonic cutting and welding
Evolon® itself can be washed many times in temperatures up to 95°C.
Maximum washing temperatures may vary depending on the final product.
For example, Evolon® anti-mite encasings can generally be washed up to 95°C.
Thanks to the air contained in the microfilament structure, Evolon® provides very good thermal insulation.
