Abstract: The fabric, which has high moisture absorption, quick drying, and cooling properties, was knitted from polyethylene (PE) and polyester microfiber. The result indicated that the fabric had a good appearance,with color fastness grade 4 to rubbing and above grade 3-4 color fastness to washing. The moisture absorption, quick drying, and perspiration performance meet the standards of GB/T 21655.1-2008 “Textiles—Evaluation of absorption and quick-drying Part 1: Method for combination tests” and GB/T 21655.2-2019“Textiles—Evaluation of absorption and quick-drying—Part 2: Method for moisture management tests.” The fabric has excellent performance with an evaporation rate of 0.38 g/h and an accumulative one-way transport index of 633.7. Additionally, the paper offers solutions to issues that may arise during the dyeing and finishing process, such as fabric stiffness, weak unidirectional water transport property, and the preservation of fabric elasticity.

Key words: moisture absorption and quick drying; accumulative one-way transport capacity; cooling;solutions
