There are pores on the surface of the fabric, and air and water vapor can still pass through (through post-finishing). Generally, it will  Form water droplets (like lotus leaves) on the cloth.  But it is not really waterproof, water will still seep inside if it stays for a long time.  W\/R treated fabrics will lose effectiveness due to washing and prolonged use.  (The water-repellent here should include what we often call water-repellent, as well as waterproof.)<br \/>\n Commonly performed tests include: AATCC 22-2005 Textile Water Repellency Test-Spray Method<br \/>\n AATCC 193-2005 Anti-wetting: Waterproof\/Ethanol Solution Test,<br \/>\n AATCC 118-2007 Oil Drainage: Hydrocarbon Resistance Test<br \/>\n GB12799-1991 Safety and Hygiene Performance Requirements for Oil- and Water-Repellent Protective Clothing (Abolition, No New Standard Replacement)<br \/>\n Waterproof, water resistant\/water proof (here should refer to waterproof and breathable fabrics), generally refers to making a rubber base on the bottom of the fabric, which is divided into two types: coating and lamination. Coating is often referred to as coating, and lamination is  A layer of waterproof material is compounded on the back.  This is true waterproofing. Generally, the surface of waterproof fabrics is divided into those with W\/R and without W\/R. W\/R+W\/P is certainly better than pure W\/R or W\/P.  <br \/>\n Test standards include: BS EN 20811-1992 Determination of water penetration resistance of textile fibers Hydrostatic pressure test<br \/>\n In terms of specific performance, it can be distinguished from two aspects:<br \/>\n (1)<br \/>\n Waterproof products are more durable than water-repellent products and have more stable physical and chemical properties<br \/>\n Waterproof products generally do not lose their effectiveness due to washing and prolonged use.  <br \/>\n (2)<br \/>\n Waterproof products have higher water pressure resistance indicators than water-repellent products, usually at least 3000MM.  <br \/>\n (3)<br \/>\n Applied to the specific function of clothing, the main function of water-repellent treatment is to reduce the adsorption of water by the fabric, so that water can be &#8220;pushed away&#8221; on the surface of the fabric; the waterproof treatment is a completely impermeable barrier, regardless of whether the fabric absorbs water or not.  It all keeps water out.  <br \/>\n (4)<br \/>\n Waterproof products need to be tested for water pressure resistance, while water-repellent products need to be tested for exposure to rain. The latter generally does not have a coating, but uses super water-repellent additives, whose additives are mainly organic fluorine compounds.  <\/p>\n<p>\n \n <\/p>\n<p>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yingjietex.com\/product\/Polyester-Yard-Dye-OXFORD-Fabric.html\">https:\/\/www.yingjietex.com\/product\/Polyester  -Yard-Dye-OXFORD-Fabric.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-95-371.html\">https:\/\/  www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-95-371.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-91-897.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-91-897.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.china-fire-retardant.com\/post%20%20\/9659.html\">https:\/\/www.china-fire-retardant.com\/post\/9659.html<\/a><br \/>Extended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/%20%20product\/product-12-467.html\">https:\/\/www.alltextile.cn\/product\/product-12-467.htm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Water repellent, also known as water repellent, abbreviated as W\/R, is a hydrophobic compound deposited on the surface of the fiber.
