POM Plastic Moisture Wicking Fabric for Blouses — Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
POM Plastic Moisture Wicking Fabric for Blouses: Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
POM Plastic Moisture Wicking Fabric is the version buyers specify for blouses when the base material is fixed by performance rather than by price. This entry sets out what the material actually changes, which specification to write into the tech pack, and where the cost sits — the three questions that decide whether the item passes bulk approval.
What it is
POM Plastic gives moisture wicking fabric its weight-to-strength ratio. In practice that means the fabric behaves differently in cutting, in finishing and in wear: the finish has to be applied before assembly. Buyers who specify the material up front avoid the most common failure — an item that looks right on the sample card and behaves differently in bulk.

- Mechanical performance — abrasion resistance after 30 cycles or washes.
- Compliance — EN 71-3 documentation issued with the shipment.
- Consistency — the approved counter sample becomes the reference for every reorder.

How to specify it

- Retain a golden sample at the factory and a second one with you.
