    This document discusses water resistant textile finishes. It describes three types of water repellent finishes - non-durable, semi-durable, and durable - based on the chemicals used and their resistance to laundering and dry cleaning. Testing methods for measuring water repellency and resistance are also outlined. The key difference between water repellent and waterproof fabrics is that water repellent fabrics allow some water penetration and air permeability, while waterproof fabrics create a solid barrier with no air permeability.

    Water Repellent Finishes

    Water repellency is a feature of textile material by which it prevents the spreading


    of a drop of water on its surface.

    A fabric resistance to water will depend on:-

     The nature of the fabric surface

     The porosity of the fabric

     The dynamic force behind the impacting water spray


    Water Repellent Fabric
    Feature of Water repellent finishes

     Water repellents are chemical finishes.

     Resist the penetration of water into the fabric.

     Permits the passage of moisture or air through the fabric.

    There are three types of water repellent finishes:-


     Non-durable finishes

     Semi-durable finishes

     Durable finishes
    Non-durable finishes

     This type of water repellent finish is usually based on paraffin wax-


    aluminum acetate emulsion.
     Non-durable finishes are easily removed in laundering or dry-cleaning.
     Non-durable finishes do not provide satisfactory resistance to liquids.

    Examples: Aquarol AX, Aridex WP, Dryon, Repelex etc


    Semi-durable finishes

     These are wax or salt solutions.


     They are emulsified off the fabric in laundering.
     They ate resistant to dry-cleaning.

    Examples: Bishopel, Dryon A-B, Nalan W etc


    Durable finishes

    1. Pyridinium compounds
     It is Applied to cotton, linen & viscose rayon fabrics.  It also endures repeated washings as well as
    dry-cleaning.  It improves the fabric’s appearance.

    2. Melamine resins & stearamides compounds


     It is used on cotton, rayon etc.  These have excellent repellency and good tolerance to laundering.

    3. Silicone compounds
     These are excellent water repellents.  The finish is usually more resistance to dry cleaning than to
    laundering.

    Examples: Aerotex, Hydro-Pruf, Zelan, Zepel etc.


    Testing method

    AATCC TM22: Water Repellency-Spray Test


    AATCC TM35: Water Resistance: Rain Test
    AATCC TM42: Water Resistance: Impact Penetration Test
    AATCC TM70: Water Repellency-Tumble Jar Dynamic Absorption Test
    AATCC TM127: Water Resistance: Hydrostatic Pressure Test
    Use of repellent fabric
    Waterproof finishes

    Waterproof finishes is a feature of textile material that a fabric


    coated with a solid surface film with no or little air permeability.
    Water proof finishes
     Water proof finishes are those finishes which will not allow water to
    pass through regardless of the time exposure.
     This finishes also adversely affect the comfort property as they limit
    passage of air.
     These finish is coated with a resin, oil and wax etc.
    CHEMICALS USED: 1. Vulcanized natural rubber,
    2. Oxidized oils of varnishes,
    3. Polyvinyl chloro acetate,
    4. Polyvinylidine Chloride,
    5. Cellulose acetate,
    6. Cuprammonium hydroxide solution.
    Testing method

    1 Hydrostatic Pressure Method (AATCC 127)


    2 Spray Method (AATCC 22)
    3 Rain Test Method (AATCC 35)
    4 Wicking Method
