What Are The Common Types Of Waterproof Fabrics?

1. Waterproof canvas:
This is a canvas processed by a special process for waterproof or moisture-proof, moisture-proof, and cold-proof. It generally refers to the plastic-coated cloth series. It is made of fiber fabrics and chemical filling materials and is produced by dipping, coating, scraping, drying, and cooling. Made by process. It is made of fabric woven from high-strength polyester, high-quality resin powder, plasticizers, stabilizers, etc., and is 100% waterproof.
2. Gore-tex:
Gore-tex has a very high performance in waterproofing and breathability. Its essence is a very thin layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene film, which is placed on top of the fabric in a sandwich form to form a high-quality waterproof fabric. It is characterized by approximately 1.4 billion small holes per square meter, and the area of ​​each hole is only one-twentieth-thousandth of a small water droplet, so it is extremely breathable and water droplets cannot pass through.
3. Dry-Tec tarpaulin:
The advantage of Dry-Tec tarpaulin compared to waterproof fabrics is that it is extremely light and cool. Because the bottom layer is an extremely tough film to resist water pressure, and the center is a highly breathable layer with larger micropores. Its folded volume is very small and its weight is even lighter, so it is often used to make sports waterproof clothing.
4. Microfiber thermal insulation cotton:
Microfiber thermal insulation cotton is a new generation of thermal insulation cotton developed using modern microfiber technology. Compared with other waterproof fabrics, it has the advantages of high strength and moisture resistance. In addition, microfiber has good thermal insulation capabilities. Therefore, it is widely used in the production of waterproof clothing.
5. PVC coated cloth:
Its main component is polyvinyl chloride. In the manufacturing process of PVC canvas, some auxiliary materials such as plasticizers and anti-aging agents are added to enhance its heat resistance, toughness, ductility, etc., and the surface is coated with paste resin to increase the A variety of chemical additives such as accelerators, antifungal agents, and antiaging agents, which are non-flammable, high strength, resistant to climate change, and excellent geometric stability. They are also waterproof, mildewproof, wear-resistant, durable, and cold-resistant. , aging resistance, and other natural functions.
6. Waterproof nylon cloth:
This kind of fabric has excellent mildew resistance, flame retardancy, 100% waterproof, more waterproof than other canvases, good low softness, high strength, strong pulling force, and relatively light. The main processing method is high temperature heat sealing.
