Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a stretchable coated fabric and a process for producing the same.
  • C8 fluorinated water repellent refers to a fluorinated water repellent that containing an emulsion of a copolymer comprises a perfluoroalkyl group with eight or more carbon atoms dispersed in a medium.
  • the EPA US Environmental Protection Agency
  • the C8 fluorinated water repellents contain perfluorooctanoic acid, perfluorooctane sulfonate, and the like. These compounds degrade in the environment and in organisms. As their degradation products accumulate in the environment and in organisms, the compounds place a heavy burden on the environment. Thus, there is a need for a fluorinated water repellent that does not contain these compounds.
  • C6 fluorinated water repellent refers to a fluorinated water repellent that comprises a copolymer comprises a perfluoroalkyl group with six or less carbon atoms.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a water-oil-repellent fabric using a C6 fluorinated water repellent and a process for producing the same.
  • a synthetic resin solution that contains an organic solvent has been applied, for example by a dry process, to a fabric given a water-oil-repellency using a C6 fluorinated water repellent.
  • the C6 fluorinated water repellent has a relatively lower water-oil-repellency, compared with the conventional C8 fluorinated water repellent. If the C6 fluorinated water repellent is used to treat a fiber fabric only for water-oil-repellency, the fabric obtains, as initial performance, similar water-oil-repellency to a fabric using the C8 fluorinated water repellent. However, when the fiber fabric is subsequently coated with a synthetic resin solution, the synthetic resin solution penetrates the fiber fabric. It is presumed that this phenomenon occurs because a fabric treated with a C6 fluorinated water repellent has a lower dynamic oil-repellency offered by coating, compared with a fabric treated with a C8 fluorinated water repellent. Consequently, it is difficult to form a continuous resin film on a surface of the fiber fabric, which causes the problem that the necessary performance (hydraulic resistance, moisture permeability, wind proof property, and the like) is not provided.
  • the present disclosure has been developed in view of these problems, and directed to provide a stretchable coated fabric that exerts no influence on the environment and that is highly moisture permeable, waterproof, and windproof and a process for producing the same.
  • a stretchable coated fabric according to a first aspect of the present disclosure is
  • the synthetic resin is at least one selected from acrylic resins, urethane resins, and silicone resins.
  • the stretchable coated fabric has an initial water-repellency (JIS L1092) of a fourth grade or higher, and a water repellency after 20 washings of a third grade or higher.
  • JIS L1092 initial water-repellency
  • the stretchable coated fabric has a hydraulic resistance (JIS L1092 A Method) in a range from 100 to 3000 mmH 2 O and a moisture permeability of 3000 g/m 2 /24 hr or greater (JIS L1092 A-1 Method).
  • JIS L1092 A Method hydraulic resistance in a range from 100 to 3000 mmH 2 O and a moisture permeability of 3000 g/m 2 /24 hr or greater
  • the stretchable coated fabric has an air permeability of 6 cc/cm 2 /sec or less (JIS L1018 Frazier Method).
  • the stretchable fiber fabric is a fabric knitted by a fine gauge knitting machine with 28 gauge or higher.
  • the stretchable fiber fabric is a fabric that primarily comprises polyamide fibers and/or polyester fibers having a total fineness of 84 dtex or less, and that has a basis weight of 200 g/m 2 or less, a warp elongation (JIS L1096 A Method) at a load of 0.5 kgf of 45% or less, and a warp elongation at a load of 2.0 kgf of 75% or less.

  • the stretchable coated fabric had a basis weight of 72 g/m 2 .
  • the fabric had an air permeability of 10 cc/cm 2 /sec, a hydraulic resistance of 80 mmH 2 O, a moisture permeability of 7453 g/m 2 /24 hr, an initial water repellency of a fourth grade, and a water repellency after 20 washings of a third grade.
  • the stretchable coated fabric had a hard hand feel. When the quality of the coated surface was observed, the coating resin slightly penetrated the fabric, although the resin film almost covered the coated surface of the fabric.

  • the fabrics had an initial water repellency of a fourth grade and a water repellency after 20 washings of a third grade, which were sufficient.
  • the fabrics also had a soft hand feeling and a good quality of the coated surface, as their resin film almost covered the coated surface of the fabric.
  • the synthetic resin (coating resin) of the stretchable coated fabric of Comparative Example 1 had a thixotropic index at 23° C. of 1.32, which did not meet the requirement in a range from 1.4 to 2.0, a 100% modulus of 4 kgf/cm 2 , which did not meet the requirement of 5 kgf/cm 2 or greater. Consequently, the fabric had a large air permeability of 12 cc/cm 2 /sec and thus had insufficient windproof property. The fabric also had a low hydraulic resistance of 90 mmH 2 O, and thus the waterproofness was problematic. And the fabric had a hard hand feeling, and the quality of the coated surface was problematic.
  • the stretchable coated fabric of Comparative Example 2 had no problem with the air permeability, the hydraulic resistance, the moisture permeability, the hand feeling, and the quality of the coated surface, although the fabric did not solve the environmentally sensitive problem, as the fabric uses a C8 fluorinated water repellent instead of a C6 fluorinated water repellent.
  • the synthetic resin (coating resin) of the stretchable coated fabric of Comparative Example 3 had a thixotropic index at 23° C. of 1.42, which met the requirement in a range from 1.4 to 2.0, and a 100% modulus of 4 kgf/cm 2 , which did not meet the requirement of 5 kgf/cm 2 or greater. Consequently, the fabric had a high air permeability of 8 cc/cm 2 /sec and thus had insufficient windproof property. The fabric also had a slightly insufficient hydraulic resistance of 140 mmH 2 O or higher. And the fabric also had a problem with the hand feel and the quality of the coated surface.
  • the synthetic resin (coating resin) of the stretchable coated fabric of Comparative Example 4 had a thixotropic index at 23° C. of 1.44, which met the requirement in a range from 1.4 to 2.0, and a 100% modulus of 9 kgf/cm 2 , which met the requirement of 5 kgf/cm 2 or greater.
  • the fluorinated water repellent had a small toluene repellency of 36 seconds, which did not meet the requirement of 100 seconds or longer. Consequently, the fabric had a large air permeability of 10 cc/cm 2 /sec and thus had insufficient windproof property.
  • the fabric also had an insufficient hydraulic resistance of 80 mmH 2 O or higher. And the fabric had a problem with the hand feel and the quality of the coated surface.
  • the synthetic resin (coating resin) of the stretchable coated fabric of Example 5 had a thixotropic index at 23° C. of 1.69, which was larger than the thixotropic index of 1.44 of the stretchable coated fabrics of Examples 1-4.
  • the fabric had a smaller air permeability of 0.5 cc/cm 2 /sec and thus had particularly good_windproof property.
  • the fabric also had a larger hydraulic resistance of 360 mmH 2 O and thus had good waterproofness.
  • the stretchable coated fabrics according to the embodiment and Examples have good water-vapor permeability, good waterproofness, and good windproofness.
  • the fabrics are favorably used for outdoor and sports applications in the garment field.
  • the stretchable coated fabric according to the present disclosure is suitable for a garment fabric used for outdoor and sports applications.
