When a material is 'waterproof', it fits into criteria outlined by a governing specification and clear conditions of a laboratory test. In essence, waterproof fabrics are materials that are resistant to penetration by water. This type of waterproof fabric is an invaluable tool when it comes to making household goods, outdoor clothing, shoes and other lifestyle equipment. Waterproofing agents can adhere to the material during the manufacturing process. The end product may then be 'waterproof'. Let's explore some of the most common types of waterproof fabric that are in circulation today.
Termini Utli Rigward Tessili Waterproof
Qabel ma nidħlu fil-fond fid-drapp li ma jgħaddix ilma minnu, huwa essenzjali li niddistingwu d-differenza bejn ftit termini relatati, iżda mhux identiċi, fir-rigward tad-drapp. Jista 'jkun li ltqajt ma' dawn it-termini qabel meta tixtri għamara għad-dar tiegħek, aċċessorji ta 'ġewwa jew ħwejjeġ. Il-fehim tad-differenza jagħtik idea ovvja ta 'x'inhu drapp li ma jgħaddix ilma minnu.
Spjegat li ma jgħaddix ilma minnu
When a fabric is waterproof, it is impenetrable to water to an extent. Its ability to repel water is measured by testing how much pressure it can take before water begins to seep through. Fabric can only be referred to as waterproof if it possesses sealed seams. Provided it has that quality it can be considered waterproof. The quality of the enclosures and seals will determine how waterproof a product is. An excellent example of waterproof fabric is polyester fabric; this is a material that is highly unlikely to absorb moisture. We can weave polyester tightly to prevent water from passing through it. So it is very effective for producing household items such as beanbags and furniture.
Spjegazzjoni ta' Water Repellent
Il-proċess tal-manifattura tad-drapp-repellant tal-ilma jagħmilha pjuttost diffiċli għall-ilma biex jippenetra d-drapp. Il-prodotti li jirripellaw l-ilma normalment ikollhom xi forma ta 'kisi, aktar milli jinkludu d-drapp attwali nnifsu.
Spjegat Reżistenti għall-Ilma
Dan it-tip ta 'drapp jirreżisti l-penetrazzjoni tal-ilma. Mhux se jżommok niexef fi kwalunkwe temp estrem, forsi xita ħafifa ħafna. Dawn it-tipi ta 'drappijiet joffru ammont minimu ta' protezzjoni.
Allura waterproofing huwa l-ogħla livell ta 'protezzjoni li tista' tikseb kontra l-umdità. Hawn taħt niddiskutu drappijiet reżistenti għall-ilma-f'aktar dettall.
Kif isir Tessili Waterproof?
Before we explore the different types of waterproof fabrics, let's take a look at their construction. A membrane is a layer of waterproof material bonded to the outer shell of a product or piece of equipment. The main types of waterproof, breathable fabrics, also known as WPB fabrics, consider two types of membrane. The first one is PU which stands for polyurethane, and the second is an ePTFE membrane or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.
Bob Gore żviluppa u ħoloq l-ewwel drapp ePTFE fl-1978. Huwa sejjaħlu Gore-Tex. Aħna ser niddiskutu Gore-Tex f'aktar dettall hawn taħt.
Essenzjalment, Bob Gore sab li meta jiġġebbed PTFE, ifforma wiċċ li ma jgħaddix ilma minn miljuni ta 'pori ċkejkna. Dawn il-pori huma 700 darba akbar minn molekula tal-fwar tal-ilma u 20,000 darba iżgħar minn molekula tal-ilma. Id-differenza fid-daqs tfisser li l-ilma likwidu ma jistax jippenetra mill-membrana. Iżda fwar tal-ilma gassuż jista.
Kisi PU fuq drapp has no pores, which makes it less breathable than ePTFE. Polyurethane also attracts water to the surface. The skin repels moisture in a process called molecular wicking. PU membranes don't always function well in damp and humid environments, although many manufacturers are developing a more breathable version of this fabric.
8 Common Types Of Fabric – Are They All Technically Waterproof?
1.Laminated Qoton
Drappijiet laminati bħall-qoton huma prevalenti u effettivi. Kisja rqiqa li ma jgħaddix ilma minnha tingħata lill-qoton biex tagħmilha reżistenti għall-ilma. Din il-verżjoni ta 'waterproofing hija wkoll ħafna aktar favur l-ambjent minn sorsi oħra peress li naħa waħda hija drapp naturali. Drapp laminat huwa ideali għal kpiepel, ġkieket u ħwejjeġ ta 'l-iskijjar; jaħdem tajjeb f'kundizzjonijiet estremi tat-temp. Saff reżistenti għall-ilma-jingħaqad mad-dahar tal-qoton, li jsaħħaħ l-ilma. Għalkemm id-drapp isir inqas malleabbli wara dan il-proċess, joħloq struttura b'saħħitha u għadu jieħu nifs minnu ħafna.
2. Poliester u Nylon
When they stand alone, polyester and nylon aren't waterproof in their own right, but they are water-resistant due to their tightly knit weave. Again, a special coating can make them waterproof; a layer of polyurethane on the interior of the fabric allows it to withstand rain and other water splashes. Polyester and nylon are much less breathable, and they aren't quite as strong as others. Ripstop nylon fabric can't go unnoticed as one of the sturdiest in this particular material family. In the second World War, they even used it to create parachutes due to its waterproof and rip-proof qualities.
3. Vinil u plastik
Dawn huma eżempji tajbin ta 'materjali artifiċjali li ma jgħaddix ilma minnhom li tista' ssib f'ħafna oġġetti tad-dar. Minn placemats għal boroż kosmetiċi, dan it-tip ta 'drapp huwa reżistenti għall-ilma ħafna. Mhux biss jipprevjeni l-ilma milli joħroġ, iżda huwa wkoll iebsa daqskemm huwa flessibbli, u jagħtik l-aħjar taż-żewġ dinjiet.
4.TPU
Il-polyurethane termoplastiku huwa artab ħafna, suppli u aktar favur l-ambjent minn għażliet oħra bħal PUL jew Polyurethane Laminate. Dan il-materjal li ma jgħaddix ilma minnu huwa tajjeb għal ħrieqi li jistgħu jerġgħu jintużaw minħabba n-natura assorbenti u komda tiegħu.
5. suf tal-poliester
Il-suf huwa kklassifikat bħala drapp reżistenti għall-ilma-, sakemm ikun oħxon biżżejjed. Fleece huwa tip ieħor ta 'drapp li jiġi utli għas-saff ta' barra ta 'ħrieqi tad-drapp. L-applikazzjoni bir-reqqa ta' kisja ripellanti tal-ilma tista' tagħmel il-suf aktar reżistenti għall-ilma-minn hu naturali.
6. Laminat tal-polyurethane (PUL)
Il-Laminat tal-Polyurethane huwa d-drapp tad-drappijiet kollha li huma reżistenti għall-ilma fih innifsu. PUL huwa drapp tal-poliester li għandu rinforz tal-plastik li jinkludi saff irqiq li ma jgħaddix ilma minnu. Polyurethane Laminate huwa drapp kompletament reżistenti għall-ilma, kif ukoll li jieħu nifs minnu u flessibbli. L-aħjar ħaġa dwar il-poliester PUL hija li hija rqiqa, lixxa, u tista 'tinħasel ħafna drabi mingħajr ma tikkawża l-ebda ħsara.
7. Suf
One of the main advantages of wool is that it is entirely natural and it's water-resistant. Although it may not be fully waterproof, you can add a coat of lanolin and improve its protection significantly. Boiled wool is extremely water-resistant as the boiling process makes the fabric thicker and denser.
8. Żejt
Oilcloth huwa essenzjalment drapp tal-għażel b'kisja ta 'żejt tal-kittien mgħolli biex tagħmilha kompletament reżistenti għall-ilma. -Jum modern, drapp taż-żejt jista 'jinħoloq bl-użu ta' materjal tal-qoton flimkien ma 'saff tal-vinil ċar fuq il-wiċċ. Oilcloth huwa manutenzjoni baxxa; Imsaħ materjal nadif li użat għal tvalji, basktijiet u aċċessorji tal-kċina.
