The exceptional moisture management of wood fiber is an inherent property of its regenerated cellulose structure—specifically its highly porous, hydrophilic amorphous regions—rather than a temporary surface chemical coating. To verify durability, Fanterco recommends:

  • AATCC 197 Testing: Request vertical wicking test reports for fabrics after 50 wash cycles.
  • Structure over Finish: Prioritize mechanical moisture transport over chemical finishes.
  • LCA Verification: Ensure the supplier provides ISO 14067 carbon footprint data to support your Digital Product Passport (DPP) compliance preparation ahead of the 2026 regulatory deadlines.
