• JIS L 1907 Drop Method (Water Absorption Test)

  1. Prepare a test sample measuring 200mm × 200mm.

  2. Drop a single water droplet (approximately 3ml) onto the test sample.

  3. Measure the time from when the water droplet falls onto the test sample until it is completely absorbed.

Test Result Explanation

Take note of the number “3 (seconds)” in the drop method section. This number represents a remarkable value compared to fibers characterized by water absorption performance. In the case of regular fabrics, such as cotton, it takes approximately 60 seconds. AVILAS PLUS WA-AB Q absorbs water in less than 1/10th of that time, making it a groundbreaking water-absorbing fiber that provides a noticeable difference.
