Why is PVC composite fabric also called waterproof and breathable fabric - Guangyuan Ruifeng New Materials

Summary: Composite fabrics are divided into ordinary composite fabrics (which are made by bonding the fabric and lining with an adhesive, thereby improving the fabric texture and simplifying the garment processing and mass production) and functional composite fabrics (which have special functions such as waterproof and breathable, radiation resistance, washability, and abrasion resistance after compositing).

Composite fabrics are divided into ordinary composite fabrics (where the fabric and lining are bonded together with an adhesive to improve the fabric texture, simplifying the processing and enabling mass production for garments) and functional composite fabrics (composite fabrics with special functions such as waterproofness, breathability, radiation resistance, washability, and abrasion resistance). Six internationally popular composite processes include hot-melt adhesive powder dot coating composite process, hot-melt adhesive paste dot composite process, hot-melt adhesive powder scattering composite process, hot-melt adhesive double-dot composite process, polyurethane spraying composite process, and polyurethane roller coating composite process. Composite fabrics are a relatively new type of fabric developed by the market. In short, it is a fabric made by combining two fabrics. Previously, the most common composite was the combination of suede and wool. Nowadays, any fabrics can be combined.

Composite fabrics are two or more fabrics combined together. Composite fabrics are not necessarily waterproof and breathable. This is a misconception in the market. Strictly speaking, waterproof and breathable fabrics are fabrics that have a waterproof and breathable membrane (there are many types of membranes, such as PU, TPU, PTFE membranes, etc.) laminated to them. Strictly speaking, the waterproof and breathable material actually needs pressure to be breathable; otherwise, it will not have a windproof effect.

Waterproof and breathable fabric is a new type of textile fabric, composed of high-molecular waterproof and breathable materials (PTFE membrane or TPU membrane) and fabric composite materials. The main functions of waterproof and breathable fabrics are: waterproof, breathable, air permeable, insulating, windproof, and warm. In terms of manufacturing process, the technical requirements for waterproof and breathable fabrics are much higher than those for waterproof treated fabrics; at the same time, in terms of quality, waterproof and breathable fabrics have more durable waterproof performance than waterproof fabrics.

Why are composite fabrics also known as waterproof and breathable fabrics:

1. Lamination processing of functional fabrics (TPU membrane composite various fabrics).

Features: waterproof, poison-proof, corrosion-resistant, breathable, moisture-permeable, warm, cold-resistant, aging-resistant, washable, good elasticity, no bubbles, environmentally friendly, known as breathable fabric.

2. High-frequency embossing (wireless quilting) composite of various patterns.

Features: soft, washable, high firmness, good three-dimensionality, environmentally friendly.

3. Composite processing of cashmere, fleece, suede, plush, elastic fabrics, and some ultra-fine, ultra-thin, and ultra-soft fabrics.

Features: soft hand feel, flat surface, washable.

Product application scope: clothing, shoes, hats, bags, toys, handicrafts, baby products, home textiles, bedding, mattresses, sofas, upholstery, etc., as well as national defense and medical fields.
