Moisture-permeating water-proof flocked fabric

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To obtain the titled flocked fabric having water-resistance and moisture-permeability higher than specific respective levels and having warmth- keeping effect, by forming a moisture-permeable water-proofing film on a flocked face and imparting the opposite face with water-repellency. CONSTITUTION:A moisture-permeable water-proofing film such as porous polyurethane film is formed on one face of a base cloth. Flock fibers having water- absorptivity and length of 0.3-3mm are fixed to the surface of the film e.g. by flocking and the opposite face of the cloth is subjected to water-repellent processing e.g. with a fluorine-based repellent. The obtained moisture-permeable water-proof flocked fabric has a water resistance of >=700mmH2O/cm<2> and a moisture-permeability of >=1,500g/m<2>.24hr. Since the fabric has flock fibers, it has excellent warmth-keeping property and is suitable as an outer garment.
