Do Textiles Remain Skinfriendly And Odorless When Confronted With Sweat During Summer Heat?

- 

BÖNNIGHEIM – As the temperature rises, human beings produce more sweat. Heat puts the body under great strain, which can reach dangerous levels especially for the elderly. That is why the Hohenstein Institute has put together consumer guidelines with behavior and protection measures, as well as recommendations for clothing that also take physiological findings from “body mapping” into account.

There is also the question of whether textiles convince consumers in terms of safety (skin compatibility) and performance (odor management). Hohenstein has been investigating questions regarding clothing that is worn close to the body: How skin-friendly are the textiles? And: To what extent do the textiles reduce sweat odor?

Certified test series offer textile manufacturers the opportunity to test the skin compatibility and odor management of textiles from the development phase onwards.
