Moisture Management (MMT) Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to the questions buyers ask most often about Moisture Management (MMT).
What does it mean?
ability to move liquid through the fabric. Working figures for Moisture Management (MMT) normally sit around class 3 to 5 for training wear in mainstream production. Note AATCC 195 moisture management tester on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
What value should be specified?
Start from class 3 to 5 for training wear and adjust for the end use of the garment. Record elastane content alongside Moisture Management (MMT), because blends shift the measured value. A result outside class 3 to 5 for training wear usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
How is it tested?
AATCC 195 moisture management tester. Keeping reference values for Moisture Management (MMT) lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with AATCC 195 moisture management tester, since both affect the reading.
Why does it change between lots?
Process variables such as finishing temperature and elastane batch cause the normal spread of results. Working figures for Moisture Management (MMT) normally sit around class 3 to 5 for training wear in mainstream production. Note AATCC 195 moisture management tester on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Can results be compared across suppliers?
Only when the same standard revision and conditioning are used; otherwise measurements are not equivalent. Record elastane content alongside Moisture Management (MMT), because blends shift the measured value. A result outside class 3 to 5 for training wear usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
