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.

Thanks to its highly dense and compact structure, Evolon® provides outstanding UV protection. Its Ultra-violet Protection Factor (UPF) is 50+, the highest one according to norm AS / NZS 4399-1996. In real measures, we have found that the UV protection provided by Evolon® is more than 8 times the maximum level mentioned in this norm.

Evolon® is windproof. This is another barrier property of the microfilament compact structure.

Thanks to the air contained in the microfilament structure, Evolon® provides very good thermal insulation.

Evolon® can be processed with the traditional textile processes. It can be dyed, printed, finished. It can also be cut and sewn as other fabrics.

With non fraying edges, Evolon® also provides the advantage of easier converting, making overstitching useless.

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.
