The popularity of microfiber towels is on the rise these days. Their main compositions are polyester and polyamine. These are fine threads that is said to be thinner than the human hair, and finer than the cotton thread. They are also much better than silk. Because of this unique characteristic, microfiber is more absorbent than of cotton. The polymer present, which is the polyester is said to be lyophillic or oil loving that is why oil is easily adhered to the microfiber tower. Moreover, it also hydrophilic, which means to be water loving therefore, can also absorb water well. Dirt particles are also absorbed well by the microfiber towel. The dirt particles are locked into the fiber’s empty spaces that makes it a good dirt absorber compared to cotton that only pushes dirt form one position of the particle to another. This is also why microfiber towels can remove the filth at the same time maintaining the external area clean.

Polyester is a lyophillic polymer or has similarity to oil that allows oil to adhere directly to the fibers rapidly. On the other hand, water also without difficulty adheres to microfiber because it is hydrophilic. Microfiber works well in storing dirt and dust at the similar time, absorbs water extremely even up to seven times or 600% its weight in liquids, dirt and other essentials.
