Wetting Time Measurement of Fabric-Foam-Fabric Plied Material

Abstract:

The wetting time of fabric-foam-fabric plied materials was measured in this study. The fabric-foam-fabric plied materials were prepared by plying polyurethane foams (non-laminated and laminated) with different fabrics. The plied material would be proposed for making intimate apparel which is a kind of close-to-skin garment. Thus, the wetting ability of the material would affect the comfort behaviour. Therefore, we reported the wetting time values of different plied samples and the results were discussed properly.
