Freudenberg Performance Materials is touting the benefits of Evolon in a new appliation—sports towels for outdoor enthusiasts. Studies have shown that sports towels made from Evolon’s microfilament fabric combine performance with portability for swimmers, hikers and beach goers.
 
Evolon’s patented microfilament technology combines excellent mechanical properties with the benefits of textiles, such as comfort, softness and drapability. Evolon can absorb four times its own weight in water, providing users with excellent wiping performance. Once wet, Evolon towels will dry two to three times more quickly than traditional towels. For optimal hygiene, Evolon can be washed at temperatures up to 95°C and can be optionally equipped with built-in antibacterial properties.

With a weight of 100gsm and the exceptional density of the microfilaments, towels made from Evolon are ultra-light and take up five times less space than terrycloth towels. This is an undeniable advantage for sportspeople, campers, hikers and other travelers.

In addition to its exceptional performance, Evolon can be dyed or printed using continuous or digital printing methods, increasing the possibilities for extending the range and for personalization.

The towels can be produced based on original Evolon with its flat structure or brand new Evolon 3D for an even greater textile look and feel.
