Dries in minutes
Quick drying describes materials, paints, adhesives, or fabrics that lose moisture or set faster than standard alternatives.
The term appears hyphenated before nouns (quick-drying cement, quick-drying nail polish) and unhyphenated after verbs (this paint is quick drying).
Quick-drying fabrics wick moisture away from skin, making them popular for athletic wear and travel clothing.
The property is achieved through chemical formulation, fabric weave, or both.
