2 EVERGLIDE TM LOW FRICTION SYSTEMS What is it?

3 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

4 What is it? Comfort is considered to be one of the key buying motives in consumers athletic apparel purchases

5 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

6 EVERGLIDE TM LOW FRICTION SYSTEMS How does it work?

7 How does it work? Skin Fabric Skin EVERGLIDE Fabric FRICTION ZONE LOW FRICTION ZONE 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

8 How does it work? Vertical pressure of 5 N In the charts that follows, a skin alternative was used to scientifically compare the performance of treatments typically applied to sportswear Textile material to be tested Lorica soft Skin model Connecting rod for power measurement Polyurethane on PA-Micro fibe natural structure very breathable Friction distance 20 mm Artificial leather Lorica suitable for washing at 40 C

9 How does it work? Polyester Knit fabric 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 60 and performs under wet and dry conditions Dry - test cycle 1-50 Dry - test cycle 1,400-1,450 Wet 1-50 Wet 1,400-1,450 not fin. EverGlide Processing aid lubrification Standard Softener Teflon finish Water repellent Moisture Managment

10 How does it work? PA/EL Knit fabric Relative friction based on friction coefficient values Not finished defined as 100 % The lower the value the lower the friction 100 EverGlide is 4X more effective than standard softeners EverGlide is highly durable 70 and performs under wet and 60 dry conditions not fin. EverGlide Processing aid lubrification Standard Softener Dry - test cycles 1-50 Dry - test cycles 1,400-1,450 Wet - test cycles 1-50 Wet - test cycles 1,400-1,450 Teflon finish Water repellent Moisture Managment EverGlide Low Friction system provided by DICRYLAN LF

11 EVERGLIDE TM LOW FRICTION SYSTEMS Versatility & benefits

12 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
