Abstract
A method of preparing a water-repellent and moisture-permeable fabric, includes: preparing a water-repellent fabric by: immersing a raw fabric in a non-fluorinated water-repellent emulsion containing a non-fluorinated water repellent and an aqueous blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent; and drying and curing the raw fabric, which has been immersed, at a temperature of 150° C. to 200° C.; applying a polyurethane-based moisture-permeable coating liquid to the water-repellent fabric; and drying the water-repellent fabric while increasing a temperature from 100° C. to 150° C.
Claims5
A method of preparing a water-repellent and moisture-permeable fabric, the method comprising:
- preparing a water-repellent fabric having an external surface directly exposed to an external environment and an internal surface directly exposed to an internal material by:
- immersing a raw fabric in a non-fluorinated water-repellent emulsion containing a non-fluorinated water repellent and an aqueous blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent;
- and
- drying and curing the raw fabric, which has been immersed, at a temperature of 150° C. to 200° C.;
- applying a polyurethane-based moisture-permeable coating liquid to only the internal surface of the water-repellent fabric,
- wherein the water-repellent fabric is consisting of the external surface being water-repellent and the internal surface being moisture-permeable;
- and
- drying the water-repellent fabric while increasing a temperature from 100° C. to 150° C. after applying the polyurethane-based moisture-permeable coating liquid,
- wherein the water-repellent and moisture-permeable fabric retains a water repellency level of at least 4 after 20 washes, and the moisture-permeable coating liquid results in a moisture-permeable fabric having a water vapor permeability of 10,000 g/m2/24 hours or more as determined by JIS L 1099:2012, Method B-1 (Potassium acetate test) when applied to a raw fabric and dried while increasing a temperature from 100° C. to 150° C.
