Product type
Waterproofing is a treatment process applied to textiles to make them resistant to water penetration. This is typically achieved through the application of specialized chemical coatings or laminates that create a barrier against moisture. Waterproofed fabrics are commonly made from synthetic materials, such as nylon or polyester, which enhance their durability and water resistance.
| Common treatments | Chemical coatings, laminates, and membranes |
| Durability | Varies based on treatment, typically 3-5 years |
| Water column rating | Typically ranges from 1,500 mm to 10,000 mm |
| Breathability | Measured in g/m²/24h, typically 1,000 to 20,000 |
| Application methods | Spraying, dipping, or lamination |
When choosing waterproofing treatments, consider the intended use of the fabric and the level of water resistance required. Specify the desired durability, breathability, and water column rating to ensure the treatment meets your needs. Additionally, inquire about any certifications or environmental considerations associated with the waterproofing chemicals used.
