Water Resistant Fabric
ผ้ากันน้ำ
Water-resistant fabrics are designed to resist the penetration of water to a certain degree. While they are not completely waterproof, they offer a level of protection against water exposure.
Hydrophobic and Durability
Water resistance in fabrics is often achieved through the application of a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Coating. This coating enhances the fabric's ability to repel water, forming droplets that can be easily shaken off or wiped away.
Stain resistant
Water-resistant fabrics tend to have some level of stain resistance as they repel water and certain oil-based substances. This makes it easier to wipe away spills and stains before they have a chance to penetrate the fabric.
Quick drying
While not as quick-drying as water-repellent fabrics, water-resistant fabrics generally have a faster drying time compared to fabrics that are not water-resistant. This property is beneficial in situations where the fabric gets wet and needs to dry quickly.
Breathable
Water-resistant fabrics often exhibit some degree of breathability, allowing moisture vapor to escape from the fabric. This helps prevent a build-up of moisture inside the garment and enhances comfort during activities.
Limited Water Penetration
Water-resistant fabrics are designed to resist the penetration of water to a certain extent. They can withstand light rain or water splashes without getting saturated immediately. However, prolonged exposure or heavy rainfall may eventually lead to water penetration.
