Can it change moisture-wicking behaviour independently of air permeability?

The company publishes no measurement of moisture wicking; the Textile page says the fabric stays breathable and gives no figure for it.

The page states: “The NanoFlashing™ Textile has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge,” and that the fabric stays waterproof, breathable, strong and washable. Those four are what the company publishes about what the fabric retains. It publishes no measurement of drape, stretch recovery, wicking, warmth, colour fastness, whiteness, hand feel, fabric noise or tear strength, and it does not carry a result across to a property a test did not cover.

The Terms of Use state that, as of their effective date, the Textiles chapter describes a Research Application, and that it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use. They also state: “A test of a material, component, sample, or prototype does not establish the safety, efficacy, suitability, durability, compatibility, manufacturability, scalability, or performance of a finished product.” A materials review is arranged in writing, through [email protected] on the Contact page.

All questions

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
