2. Durable water repellent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durable_water_repellent

   Durable water repellent, or DWR, is a coating added to fabrics at the factory to make them water-resistant (hydrophobic). Most factory-applied treatments are fluoropolymer based; these applications are quite thin and not always effective. Durable water repellents are commonly used in conjunction with waterproof breathable fabrics such as Gore ...

3. 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.

4. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

   A garment described as waterproof will have a water-repellent coating, with the seams also taped to prevent water ingress there. Better waterproof garments have a membrane lining designed to keep water out but allow trapped moisture to escape ("breathability")—a totally waterproof garment would retain body sweat and become clammy. Waterproof ...

5. Nikwax Analogy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikwax_Analogy

   The "pump" layer and the shell fabric both rely on a durable water repellent treatment; this treatment in combination with the fabric structure of the "pump" layer creates the capillary depression effect that allows water to be driven away from the wearer. In common with other waterproof garment technologies, this water repellent treatment must ...

6. Superhydrophobic coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhydrophobic_coating

   Durable water repellent is a type of fabric coating to protect them from water. In addition, superhydrophobic coatings have potential uses in vehicle windshields to prevent rain droplets from clinging to the glass, to improve driving visibility. Rain repellent sprays are commercially available for car windshields. [14] [15]

7. Chemical finishing of textiles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_finishing_of_textiles

   The coating is an application of chemical substances on the surface of fabric that is to be made functional or decorative. [24] Coating is attained by applying a thin layer of a functional chemical, compound, or polymer on the substrate's surface. Coatings use less material than other types of applications, such as exhaust or padding. [25]

   Fabric. Fabric treatments are processes that make fabric softer, or water resistant, or enhance dye penetration after they are woven. [1] Fabric treatments get applied when the textile itself cannot add other properties. [2] Treatments include, scrim, foam lamination, fabric protector or stain repellent, anti microbial and flame retardant. [2]
