Waterproof and Water Repellent Textiles and Clothing: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Waterproof and Water Repellent Textiles and Clothing" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Waterproof and Water Repellent Textiles and Clothing provides systematic coverage of the key types of finishes and high performance materials, from conventional wax and silicone, through controversial, but widely used fluoropolymers and advanced techniques, such as atmospheric plasma deposition and sol-gel technology. The book is an essential resource for all those engaged in garment development, production and finishing, and for academics engaged in research into apparel technology and textile science. Rapid innovation in this field is driving new performance demands in many areas, including the sporting and military sectors.

However, another innovation driver is the regulatory framework in the USA, Europe and globally, addressing both health concerns (e.g. with PFOS / PFOA) and environmental impacts (e.g. C8 fluorocarbon finishes). Both of these aspects are fully covered, along with the replacement materials / technologies currently available and under development.

In addition, oleophobic and multifunctional coatings are discussed, as are aspects of performance, testing and applications in sportswear, protective clothing, and footwear.

  • Introduces innovative materials and technologies, exploring their current and potential use across different sectors
  • Provides expert guidance on the health and environmental aspects of key waterproof materials and coatings and their associated regulations
  • Demystifies testing processes and design principles

Principles of waterproofing and water repellency in textiles

Introduction to waterproof and water repellent textiles

Abstract

Waterproof materials have an extraordinarily high use, with products for everyday clothing, sportswear and protective clothing for industrial or technical applications. The chapter begins with a review of the specific requirements imposed by the use of waterproofing and water repellent textile materials, on the assumption that waterproofing as a dominant function must harmonize with other functions by providing multifunctional products to the end user. Examples of this are breathable materials designed to create clothing that simultaneously provide waterproofing and wearing comfort. To fully understand how to make waterproof and water repellent materials, it is essential to have knowledge of textiles and clothing products and their behaviour in relation with the humidity, liquid and vapours. A key issue addressed in the chapter refers to technologies and methods for development of waterproof and water repellent textile materials, with emphasis on materials coated with polymers and those with surface treatments (plasma treatments, hybrid finishing, nano-coating, etc.).

1.1 Introduction

Protection against environmental factors is the initial function of clothing. In a wet environment, the basic requirement for garments is to keep the wearer dry by being waterproof and or water repellent. The difference between the two terms is essential when characterizing the behaviour of textile materials in reference to liquid water. In contact with water, water repellent materials form drops that can be easily removed from the fabric surface but for longer contact with water or with a higher pressure difference, the material will absorb water. Water repellent textiles are often high density woven materials made of very fine yarns or common materials with hydrophobic surface treatment. Waterproofing is defined as the property of a material not to be penetrated by fluids. The waterproofness of a fabric can be measured using two testing methods: one that simulates raining and the other (more common) that subjects the fabric to hydrostatic pressure. The minimum value for the hydrostatic pressure without leaking at its surface, at which a fabric is considered rainproof is 5000 mm water column, while for waterproof materials the hydrostatic pressure can reach 10,00015,000 mm water column (). For high quality waterproof materials designed for aggressive conditions, the hydrostatic pressure varies between 15,000 and 30,000 mm water column. Such fabrics are completely waterproof even under very high pressure.
