Super Absorbent Fibre

K-Sorb is a Technical Absorbents Ltd material containing our ‘Super Absorbent Fibre’, or SAF. SAF can absorb up to 200 times its own weight in water or 60 times for salt water (20 times for 3.5% saline, 60 times for 0.9% saline).

Quite flexible and durable in nature, K-Sorb material can be used to keep its wearer dry from sweat. Using K-Sorb as part of a carefully tailored composite fabric, a typically sized jacket could absorb around 4.5 litres of sweat before becoming fully saturated.
