What are the 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, generally referring to the plastic-coated cloth series. It is made of fiber fabrics and chemical filler materials through dipping, coating, scraping, drying, cooling and other production processes. Its cloth blank woven from high-strength polyester, high-quality resin powder, plasticizer, stabilizer, etc., is 100% waterproof.
2, gore-tex
Gore-tex has a very high performance in waterproof and breathable. Its essence is a very thin expanded polytetrafluoroethylene film, which is then placed on the fabric in a sandwich layer to form a high-quality waterproof fabric. It is characterized by about 1.4 billion small holes per square meter, and the area of each hole is only 1/20,000 of that of a small water droplet, so the breathability is extremely high and the water droplets will not pass through.
3, Dry-Tec waterproof cloth
The advantage of Dry-Tec tarpaulin over waterproof fabrics is that it is extremely light and cool. Because the bottom layer is a very tough film to withstand water pressure, the center is a highly breathable layer with large micropores. Its combined volume is very small and its weight is lighter, so it is often used to make sports waterproof clothing.
4, micro fiber 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, the thermal insulation ability of microfibers is also very good. Therefore, it is widely used in the production of waterproof clothing.
5. PVC coated plastic cloth
Its main ingredients are polyvinyl chloride. During the manufacturing process, some auxiliary materials such as plasticizers and anti-aging agents are added to enhance its heat resistance, toughness, ductility, etc. The surface is coated with paste resin and added with increasing speed. Agent, anti-mildew agent, anti-aging agent and other chemical additives have non-flammability, high strength, weather resistance and excellent geometric stability, and also have waterproof, anti-mildew, wear resistance, durability, cold resistance, Aging resistance, and other natural functions.
6, waterproof nylon cloth
This fabric has excellent mildew resistance, flame retardancy, 100% waterproof, more waterproof than other canvas, good low softness, high strength, strong tension and relatively light. The main processing method is high temperature heat sealing.
How to clean the waterproof fabric?
1. The waterproof fabric is more resistant to dirt. Add some detergent to the water, soak it for 10 minutes first, then gently use your hands for a few minutes, and rinse it twice after Z. Don't put it in the sun, and dry it in a ventilated and cool place. on it.
2. Blue cloth dyed with vulcanized fuel has strong adhesion of general color, but poor wear resistance. Therefore, soak in detergent for 15 minutes, gently scrub by hand, and then rinse with clean water. Do not rub with washboard to prevent the cloth from turning white.
3. The green cloth dyed with oxidized fuel is generally stained firmly and shiny, but it is easy to turn green when it encounters reducing gases such as gas. Therefore, do not put the washed green cloth clothes next to the stove to bake.
4. If the waterproof garment is a waterproof fabric with a coating, it generally does not need to be washed frequently. If it is not too dirty, it is enough to scrub with a damp and hot towel. Rub the towel a few times and re-twist it, and scrub it clean several times. If the inside is also dirty, you can use the method of manual washing, put it in the bathtub, put more warm water, detergent or food lotion, and grab and wash it a lot. Then thoroughly clear the foam water, and then put it in the washing machine to dehydrate.
