Demands for textiles that can impart hydrophobic qualities have increased greatly over the years as their application has become more prevalent in many industries. Their production can be based either from fabric construction or chemical applications such as coatings and laminates. This experimental work focuses on the use of coatings technology to produce cotton materials that would be both water repellent and breathable. It analyses the effects of using different treatments on the cotton materials samples. Finishes include paste and foam coats with Acrylic/Polyutherane compounds, as well as Pretreatment and post treatments with fluorocarbon based compounds. Applications were done using standard coating methods such as knife on roller and air blade techniques. The experiments also accounts for the different porosity values that cotton fabrics have, and how they affect the air and water permeability of the coated materials.
