Add water and oil repellency with a fluororesin coating.
Water and oil repellency refers to the property of a substrate surface that repels water and oil. Water does not spread and wet the surface of the material, but instead forms into droplets, which is the state of water repellency.
When a water-repellent coating is applied to fibers, it is coated with a thin film and does not cover all the fabric's weave, which is an advantage in terms of breathability. However, when high pressure is applied to the water, it may seep through the fabric's weave to the backside. The difference between water-repellent and waterproof To briefly explain the difference between water-repellent and waterproof, water-repellent means repelling water as described above, while waterproof means not allowing water to pass through. In other words, a state where water does not pass through is "waterproof," and a state where water is repelled on the surface is "water-repellent." Advantages and disadvantages of water-repellent processing - Advantages The advantage of water-repellent processing is that it does not fill the gaps in the material, allowing for breathability. Therefore, it is often used in down jackets and coats when one wants to avoid getting wet from a small amount of rain without compromising comfort. - Disadvantages Since water-repellent processing is only superficial, as mentioned above, during heavy rain, water pressure may cause water to seep into the material's interior.
