K-Sorb fabric made by the UK’s Technical Absorbents has recently been tested by Lincolnshire Fire & Rescue at its Waddington training facility, as part of a breathing apparatus exercise.
K-Sorb contains the company’s patented superabsorbent fibres (SAF) technology and its composite structure allows sweat to rapidly be absorbed from the body. The moisture is locked away within the highly absorbent core, reducing clamminess for the wearer. In addition, a waterproof outer layer reduces the risk of wet-through onto outer garments, keeping the rest of the user’s clothes dry and fresh. It is also fully washable, allowing repeated use of the material.
