PERFORMANCE THAT PEOPLE FEEL
More from every fiber.
Give everyday textiles the moisture performance needed for greater comfort, from activewear and outdoor apparel to denim and home textiles.
01
Moisture wicking
Promotes wetting and capillary transport to move moisture through the spaces between fibers.
02
Quick drying
Spreads moisture over a larger surface area to support faster evaporation.
03
Cooling
Supports evaporative cooling as moisture changes to vapor and carries heat away.
04
Lasting comfort
Maintains functional performance through repeated laundering, with durability to 30 home washes.
Evaluate absorbency, wicking, and drying with relevant methods, including AATCC TM79, TM197, and TM201. Results depend on the substrate, construction, and application conditions.
THE SCIENCE OF COMFORT
A stronger affinity
for moisture.
BIOPURE® MM1 modifies how textile surfaces interact with water. Its ultrahydrophilic character supports rapid wetting, moisture transport, and efficient moisture distribution.
01 Absorb
MM1’s ultrahydrophilic properties improve wetting and reduce the resistance associated with the fabric’s contact angle.
02 Distribute
Capillary action moves moisture through spaces between fibers and spreads it across a larger surface area.
03 Evaporate
The expanded wet surface supports faster evaporation. As moisture evaporates, it carries heat away from the textile.
DESIGNED FOR YOUR PROCESS
Performance that fits production.
Integrate MM1 into textile finishing through padding, exhaust, or spray application. Our team helps align the treatment with your material, equipment, and performance targets.
Apply BIOPURE® MM1 in the finishing bath and use controlled wet pickup to achieve a uniform add-on. Select drying and bonding conditions for the fabric and finishing line.
Introduce BIOPURE® MM1 through an exhaust process suited to the substrate and equipment. Confirm bath compatibility, uptake, and distribution through application trials.
Apply BIOPURE® MM1 through a controlled spray process. Verify coverage, add-on, and drying conditions to achieve consistent treatment across the textile.
Apply MM1 through foam finishing suited to the textile and production line. Confirm foam stability, distribution, and add-on optimization with your AGS representative or AGS Distributor rep.
Bonding temperatures can be as low as 75°C. Confirm dosage, compatibility, process conditions, and wash durability on your specific substrate. Request the product sheet and application guidance before production.
RENEWABLE ORIGINS. CONSIDERED DESIGN.
Rooted in
responsible chemistry.
MM1 uses castor oil sourced from regenerative agriculture. Castor plants grow in arid and semi-arid regions, offering a renewable raw material for functional textile chemistry.
78% bio-based content
USDA Certified Biobased Product, measured using ASTM D6866.
−8.33 t CO₂e
Net carbon balance per metric ton of MM1 reported by an independent life cycle assessment, across the assessed stages from castor cultivation through technology production.
The production of BIOPURE® MM1 uses 100% renewable energy, zero liquid discharge, and 100% biomass material for process heating.
A CLOSER LOOK
Your questions, answered.
Which textiles can use BIOPURE® MM1?
MM1 can be evaluated on cellulosic, synthetic, animal-based, manmade cellulosic, recycled, and blended textiles. Confirm performance and durability on your specific fabric before production.
How durable is the performance?
MM1 is designed to deliver performance through 30 home launderings. Application conditions, fiber chemistry, and fabric construction influence the result.
How does MM1 create a cooling effect?
MM1 supports wetting, capillary transport, and moisture distribution. As the moisture evaporates, it carries heat away and creates an evaporative cooling effect.
Can MM1 fit into our existing finishing process?
MM1 can be applied by padding, exhaust, or spray. AGS can help assess compatibility and identify application conditions for your production process.
How can we verify performance?
Use relevant absorbency, wicking, and drying tests, including AATCC TM79, TM197, and TM201. Compare treated fabrics with an untreated control and repeat testing after laundering.
