Abstract

Waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing which includes, on one side of a polyester fabric A, a waterproof moisture-permeable layer B including a colorless transparent polyester film stacked, and a white or gray resin C partially stacked, and clothing including the waterproof moisture-permeable fabric. Preferably, a moisture-permeable polymer resin D containing inorganic fine particles is stacked on the waterproof moisture-permeable layer B, and the white or gray resin C is partially stacked thereon.

Claims (16)

1. A waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for use in clothing, comprising: on one side of a polyester fabric A, a waterproof moisture-permeable layer B including a colorless transparent polyester film stacked, and a white or gray resin C partially stacked thereon; wherein the resin C is a polymer resin containing titanium oxide in a weight ratio of 1 to 25% by weight, and carbon black in a weight ratio of 0.1 to 3.0% by weight.

2. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 , wherein a moisture-permeable polymer resin layer D containing inorganic fine particles is stacked entirely on the waterproof moisture-permeable layer B, and further thereon, the resin C is partially stacked.

3. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the brightness of the resin C falls within the range of 15 to 97 in terms of L value.

4. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the brightness of the resin C falls within the range of 15 to 85 in terms of L value, and the resin C is gray.

5. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester fabric A is a woven or knitted fabric including a polyester multifilament.

6. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester fabric A has been dyed with a disperse dye.

7. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the colorless transparent polyester film forming the waterproof moisture-permeable layer B is a colorless transparent nonporous film containing polyester having a moisture permeability as a main component, and having a thickness of 5 to 30 μm.

8. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 2 , wherein the moisture-permeable polymer resin forming the moisture-permeable polymer resin layer D is a translucent polymer resin containing silica in a weight ratio of 1 to 16% by weight.

9. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the resin C is a polymer resin further containing silica in a weight ratio of 1 to 16% by weight.

10. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the resin C covers the waterproof moisture-permeable layer B in an area ratio in the range of 10 to 80%, and has a continuous pattern.

11. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 2 , wherein the resin C covers the moisture-permeable polymer resin layer D in an area ratio in the range of 10 to 80%, and has a continuous pattern.

12. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 10 , wherein the continuous pattern is a lattice pattern.

13. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester weight ratio in the whole waterproof moisture-permeable fabric is 50% or more.

14. Any clothing selected from a group consisting of sport clothes, uniform clothes, rainwear, and outer clothes, comprising the waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 1 such that the film side is the skin side.

15. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 2 , wherein the resin C is a polymer resin containing titanium oxide in a weight ratio of 1 to 25% by weight, and carbon black in a weight ratio of 0.1 to 3.0% by weight.

16. The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric for clothing according to claim 11 , wherein the continuous pattern is a lattice pattern.
