Polyester and nylon material has a tight weave making it
water-resistant. With
treatment, you get durable, waterproof fabric that is used in everything from
waterproof mattress pads to umbrellas, raincoats, and coverings for patio
furniture.
Waterproof coated fabrics are engineered materials which
are made from non-
woven materials or any kind of textile fabric as base material. They are
normally made using layering technique coupled with application of binder to
hold the layers together. These layers are held firmly by means of polymer
binder usually an acrylic binder. Roller coating techniques are used to develop
the waterproof coated fabrics. Coating technique is a complicated process. It
normally requires careful handling and control of overall fabric weight and
thickness.
Water proof fabric materials are characterised by
properties which prevent
penetration of fluids and is impervious to water. Waterproof fabrics can be
classified as breathable ones and the non-breathable ones. Waterproof
breathable fabrics combines the functionality of waterproofness and
breathability.
