Performance fabrics and methods of manufacturing them where the fabric is knit or woven cotton and cotton elastane blends to which a moisture-management treatment of wax or wax emulsion is applied to one side of the woven or knitted fabric. The treated fabric is wicking, absorbent and not water repellant or water resistant.

The present invention relates to textile articles and clothing such as outdoor garments, indoor garments, and commercial protective wear exposed to contact mixtures of water and oil, swimwear and winter wear exposed to mixtures of water and air. At least part of these textile articles possess a surface provided with at least one of 1) a high surface area, 2) hierarchical pattern, 3) contact angles such that hydrophilic portion of a contact mixture possesses a high contact angle and the hydrophobic portion of a contact mixture possesses a low contact angle, and 4) hysteresis angle greater than 5 degrees. Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic contact mixtures of the present invention can be surfaces where water and or ice are present in combination with oil and or air. The textile articles of the present invention resist slippage on surfaces possessing hydrophobic/hydrophilic contact mixtures.

The invention relates to a method for treating a textile to inhibit wicking and/or provide durable water repellency. The method includes applying one or more first coating solutions to at least one surface of a material substrate and curing the first coating solution under ambient atmospheric pressure to form one or more water-repellent layers on the material substrate. The first coating solution and water-repellent layer are fluorine free and water free. The first coating solution includes one or more first chemical components having a SiH group, one or more second chemical components having an alkene group, and one or more catalyst agents that cause a specific chemical reaction between the SiH group and alkene group to link the first chemical component to the second chemical component.

The present invention is to provide a water-based hot-melt adhesive for healthcare packaging. The water-based hot-melt adhesive includes 20 to 60 weight parts of hydrophilic-modified water-based polyolefin resin; 1 to 30 weight parts of water-based ionomer; 10 to 30 weight parts of wax particles; and 10 to 30 weight parts of tackifier particles. The coating layer formed on the healthcare packaging substrate from the water-based hot-melt adhesive of the present invention has great gas-permeability and weather resistance, and the healthcare packaging substrate with the water-based hot-melt adhesive of the present invention has satisfied seal strength, pealing ability and reliability after sealing with flexible sheet or blister containers at the peripheral edges thereof.

A membranous body includes a super fiber layer configured with super fiber, and resin solvent layers that are in contact with the super fiber layer and formed to interpose the super fiber layer therebetween. The super fiber layer has been subjected to at least one of a deoiling treatment and a hydrophilic treatment.

The present inventions relates to a low solvent based method for the production of a microporous polymer coated fibrous fabric, comprising the steps of contacting the fabric with a composition dispersed in an aqueous medium thereby coating the fabric with the composition, and contacting the coated with a coagulation solution and drying of the fabric, crosslinking the polymer resin. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a cleaning cloth comprising a microporous polymer coating obtained by the method.

Implementations of the present disclosure generally relate to coatings for textiles and other substrates. In one or more implementation, methods for forming a protective coating on a substrate are provided and include depositing a hydrophobic base coating on at least one of a first or second surface of the substrate to form a first coated substrate, where the hydrophobic base coating is free of fluorocarbon compounds. The method further includes drying the first coated substrate by air-drying in ambient conditions or by heating the first coated substrate and depositing a hydrophilic top coating onto the hydrophobic base coating.
