CAPILLARY MOISTURE

The patented MOIRA TG 900® fiber is of fundamental importance for the function of MOIRA® laundry. The secret of the fiber lies in the shape of its cross-section, where it resembles a five-lobed star. In this way, compared to the round fiber, the capillary spaces between the fibers increase up to twice and at the same time a depression is formed, through which the capillary moisture then travels. Polypropylene has great properties. It is the lightest, strongest, also the warmest and most flexible of synthetic fibers, it hardly absorbs water - it has ten times less absorbency than polyester - but it drains water well. It is well received by the human body.

Moira TG 900 has great properties. In addition to the parameters of polypropylene - low specific weight, flexibility, strength, high thermal insulation and non-absorbency - the fiber profile guarantees high capillary performance in the removal of moisture from the skin.

To better understand the physical mechanisms that take place on the surface of our body when in contact with functional underwear, it is necessary to become familiar with the function of human skin.

The human body has more than two million sweat glands on its surface. These are tiny channels that open to the surface of the body, secreting sweat. Sweat ducts are thicker on some parts of the body just where the body needs to be cooled during overheating or stress. We all sweat, whether we like it or not. Maintaining the optimal body temperature is controlled by an autonomous system without our will. One sweats up to 14,000 liters of sweat in one's life. In the same way, our body can react to cold. The blood vessels in the skin narrow, reducing blood flow and cooling. In order to keep our body in good mental and physical condition, we must help it.

MOIRA functional underwear can wick away sweat while retaining the necessary dose of heat on the skin. Thanks to the well-thought-out construction, the knitted fabric absorbs a large amount of air and it acts as an insulating layer just when the body is unloaded and cools down. At this point, all other materials, because they are absorbent, swell with moisture and cold.
