Abstract

A moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fiber involves a layer of base fabric, a moisture-vapor-permeable layer, and a water absorption layer. The moisture vapor permeable layer is obtained by coating or laminating the inner side of the fabric with a moisture-vapor-permeable resin, which prohibits the penetration of the water droplets but allows the penetration of the moisture vapor molecules. The moisture absorption layer with intricate and colorful design is composed of binding resin blended with fiber powder and/or inorganic powder, and which is dot-coated or dot-printed onto the inner side of the moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant layer. The fiber powder or inorganic powder is highly hydrophilic and highly absorbent in its moisture absorption ability, which, when the clothes are fabricated, can prevent the penetration of raindrops but allows the transmission of the evaporated vapor of sweat through the fabric. Moreover, it is capable of absorbing plentiful amount of sweat.

Claims (22)

1. A moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric comprising:

a base fabric;

a moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant layer disposed below the base fabric, which is made by coating or laminating onto the inner side of the base fabric with a moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant resin, by using the moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant layer, the base fabric is non-permeable to the water droplets but permeable to the water moisture vapor; and

a moisture absorption layer disposed below the moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant layer; and composed of binding resin blended with fiber powders and/or inorganic powders, and which is coated or printed on the inner side of the water-resistant layer; the fiber powders or inorganic powders being highly hydrophilic and highly absorbent in its moisture absorption ability.

2. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein said water-resistant binding resin contains 1-30% of fiber powder or inorganic powder, with particle sizes of 1˜1000 um.

3. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein said fiber powders are natural fibers.

4. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 3 , wherein said natural fiber powders are selected from one of cotton, linen, silk, and wool.

5. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 2 , wherein said inorganic powders contain calcium, magnesium, titanium, or silicone.

6. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 2 , wherein said inorganic powders contain calcium chloride, CaCl2.

7. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 2 , wherein said inorganic powders contain at least one of magnesium, chloride, titanium oxide, silica, magnesium hydroxide, and calcium hydroxide.

8. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 2 , wherein said inorganic powders contain calcium carbonate.

9. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein said moisture absorption layers are composed of binding binding resin blended with fiber powders and/or inorganic powders, and are dot-coated or dot-printed, with intricate color design, onto the inner side of the water-resistant layer.

10. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the base fabric is made of nylon.

11. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the base fabric is made of rayon.

12. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant resin is wet-coagulated microporous polyurethane.

13. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant resin is microporous polyester.

14. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the binding resin is emulsion acrylic.

15. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the binding resin is microporous polyester.

16. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the binding resin is microporous waterborne polyurethane.

17. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the binding resin is hydrophilic polyurethane.

18. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the binding resin is hydrophilic acrylic.

19. The moisture-vapor-permeable and water-resistant fabric of claim 1 , wherein the binding resin is hydrophilic polyester.
