Moistures in Textile

Introduction

taken form google

  • The properties of textile fibers are strongly affected by the atmospheric moisture content.  
  • Many fibers, particularly the natural fibers are hygroscopic in nature and they will absorb moisture if kept in a humid atmosphere
  • Conversely, they will tend to lose moisture in a dry atmosphere (a process known as desorption.) 
  • Hydrophobic fibers (e.g. Polyester) are those which do not absorb moisture if kept in a humid atmosphere.
