quick-drying
Dries in minutes
Quick-drying describes materials that lose moisture rapidly.
Quick-drying fabrics wick sweat away from skin and evaporate it fast—ideal for athletic wear or travel clothing.
Quick-drying paints, glues, and nail polishes set faster than standard formulas: I grabbed the quick-drying cement so we wouldn't have to wait.
