  2. Waterproof fabric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproof_fabric

    Drop of water on 100% polyester textile. Waterproof/breathable fabrics resist liquid water passing through, but allow water vapour to pass through. Their ability to block out rain and snow while allowing vapour from sweat to evaporate leads to their use in rainwear, waterproof outdoor sports clothing, tents, and other applications.

  3. Gore-Tex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gore-Tex

    Gore-Tex is W. L. Gore & Associates's trade name for waterproof, breathable fabric membrane. It was invented in 1969. Gore-Tex blocks liquid water while allowing water vapor to pass through and is designed to be a lightweight, waterproof fabric for all-weather use.

  4. Durable water repellent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durable_water_repellent

    Durable water repellents are commonly used in conjunction with waterproof breathable fabrics such as Gore-Tex to prevent the outer layer of fabric from becoming saturated with water. This saturation, called 'wetting out,' can reduce the garment's breathability (moisture transport through the breathable membrane) and let water through.

  5. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

    Waterproofing conducted on the exterior of a freeway tunnel. Waterproofing is the process of making an object, person or structure waterproof or water-resistant so that it remains relatively unaffected by water or resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions.

  6. Breathability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathability

    Air permeability is the ability of a fabric to allow air to pass through it. While air permeable fabrics tend to have relatively high moisture vapor transmission, it is not necessary to be air permeable to be breathable. Moisture Vapor Transfer (MVT) in waterproof fabrics occurs by two processes:

  7. Scotchgard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotchgard

    In 1938 Roy J. Plunket, a recent hire at DuPont, discovered polytetrafluoroethylene (or Teflon)—a fluoropolymer that led to the invention of synthetic rubber. [2] His early discovery led 3M scientists to develop the formula for Scotchgard, discovered by accident in 1953 when Joan Mullan—a 3M lab technician—spilled a few drops of a fluorochemical liquid destined for rubber jet fuel hoses ...

  8. Waxed cotton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waxed_cotton

    A pouch created using waxed cotton. Waxed cotton is cotton impregnated with a paraffin or natural beeswax based wax, woven into or applied to the cloth. [1] [2] Popular from the 1920s to the mid-1950s, the product, which developed from the sailing industry in England and Scotland, became commonly used for waterproofing.

  9. Nikwax Analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikwax_Analogy

    Unlike most "waterproof breathable" fabrics, Analogy can pass out liquid water as well as vapour. Unlike a conventional waterproof fabric, Analogy would fail a hydrostatic head test (if used to seal the bottom of a tube containing water, only a very short column could be supported). However, like fur, Analogy causes water to flow away from the ...
