The Association of Textile, Apparel & Materials Professionals (AATCC) is conducting a symposium entitled “Moisture Management: Enhancing Product Performance from Absorbency to Repellency” in conjunction with North Carolina State University’s (NCSU) College of Textiles and Textile Protection and Comfort Center. It will be held Oct. 8–9 at the NCSU College of Textiles in Raleigh, N.C.

The conference will focus on all aspects of moisture management, from absorbency to resistance. Merchandisers and brands will discuss the commercial importance of moisture transport and repellency and their performance expectations and requirements.

Other presentations will focus on routes to moisture management via fibers and chemistries, human physiology aspects of moisture management, applicable test methods and consumer research and preferences. Participants will have an opportunity to tour the labs at NCSU and see the moisture management testing apparatus.
