Hydrophobic textile materials with organosilicon impregnation

Abstract

In recent years, special attention has been paid to studying the properties of hydrophobic surfaces of textile materials. The authors provide an overview of the applied textile-processing chemicals and of the methods for imparting hydrophobic properties to textile materials. According to the analysis, it was found that waterand splash-proofing treatment occupies an important place in the finishing processes of textile materials, contributing to a change in their characteristics. The purpose of the research is the development of hydrophobic textile materials for the work clothes production. The aqueous solution based on organosilicon compounds was used for textiles hydrophobization with retention of their performance and hygienic characteristics. The research results of the effect of aqueous solutions based on silane (A-1100 and A-187 trademarks) on the hydrophobic characteristics of textile materials is presented in the article.

Effects of weave structure and water-repellent compositions’ formulation on the hydrophobicity property of cotton fabric

“…An aqueous solution based on organosilicon compounds was used to hydrophobize textile products while maintaining their operational and hygienic characteristics. 5 Studies showed that it is impossible to obtain the same high hydrophobic effect on fabrics that were previously tinted using pigment technology as on fabrics that do not contain pigment. 6 This is due to the surface structure of the fabric.…”
