Textile Effects EverGlide low friction Systems
What is it?
EverGlide enhances wearer
comfort simply by minimizing
friction between fabric and skin
EverGlide enhances fabric
resilience, durability and ability to
absorb perspiration further
improving the COMFORT!
EverGlide strongly reduces risk of
blisters and reddening of the skin
Textile Effects EverGlide low friction Systems
What is it?
Comfort is considered
to be one of the key buying
motives in consumers’ athletic
apparel purchases
Textile Effects EverGlide low friction Systems
What is it?
Comfort is a must for sportswear and first
layer garments
Moisture management
Odor control
Thermal control
Skin friction
Recent studies show an outstanding
performance in terms of Skin Friction which
is extremely important for the Athletes
Textile Effects EverGlide low friction Systems
How does it work?
With extensive scientific
research in Switzerland,
EverGlide was carefully
developed to reduce fabric to
skin friction.
Perspiration saturation in
sportswear can result in skin
irritation.
EverGlide combined with
cool comfort moisture
management system allows
faster drying and enhanced
regulation of body
temperature

How does it work?
In the charts that follows,
a skin alternative was
used to scientifically
compare the
performance of
treatments typically
applied to sportswear
Lorica® soft
• Polyurethane on PA-Micro fibe
• natural structure
• very breathable
• suitable for washing at 40 °C

How does it work?
Relative friction based on
friction coefficient values
Not finished defined as 100 %
The lower the value the lower
the friction
EverGlide is 4X more effective
than standard softeners
EverGlide is highly durable
and performs under wet and
dry conditions

Versatility and Benefits
Simple & versatile application procedures
Can be used on all substrates
Reducing/avoiding impact on skin caused by
friction leading to skin reddening or blisters
Enhanced comfort during wearing
Provides a soft, silky handle
No influence on thermomigration and degree
of whiteness even under molding conditions
When combined with cool comfort moisture
management systems allows faster drying
and enhanced regulation of body temperature
