Abstract
A water repellent fibrous substrate comprising a cured hydrophobic coating layer located on the fibrous substrate; and a hydrophobic plasma polymer coating layer located on the hydrophobic coating layer. The hydrophobic plasma polymer layer may be used to protect the cured hydrophobic coating layer on said fibrous substrate from abrasion or general wear.
Claims20
A water repellent fibrous substrate comprising:
- (i) a cured hydrophobic coating layer located on the fibrous substrate;
- and
- (ii) a hydrophobic plasma polymer coating layer located on the hydrophobic coating layer.
A method of producing a water repellent fibrous substrate, the method comprising:
- (i) providing a fibrous substrate having a cured hydrophobic coating layer thereon;
- and
- (ii) plasma polymerising monomer to form a hydrophobic plasma polymer coating layer located on the cured hydrophobic coating layer.
A water-repellent substrate comprising;
- a substrate having an upper surface;
- a water-repellent coating applied to the upper surface of the substrate;
- the water-repellent coating having an upper surface;
- and
- wherein the upper surface of the water-repellent coating is formed by a plasma polymerised coating.

A substrate with a functional coating comprising;
- a substrate with a first side and a second side;
- the first and second sides of the substrate having a coating applied thereto, and connected through the substrate;
- and
- wherein the coating on the first side of the substrate has at least one of;
- a higher abrasion resistance, a thicker coating, an improved water-repellency, and a harder finish, relative to the coating on the second side.
