About Waterproof Breathable Fabric
The Sunny Special waterproof breathable fabric possesses waterproof microporous coating to prevent the penetration or absorption from snow or rain, and in the meantime exhibits its water vapor permeability by allowing the water vapor from perspiration to evaporate to the outside of the fabric.
The technology behind Waterproof Breathable Fabric
Our microporous waterproof coating has been developed to allow the pore size in the colloid to be smaller than the water molecules and larger than the steam. This application offers the wearer full protection from the permeation of the rain or snow into the breathable fabric, in the meantime allows the perspiration to evaporate through the fabric surface – an intelligent design to keep the wearer dry and ensure greater comfort and adequate protection against any extreme conditions.


Waterproof Breathable Microporous Coating Fabric
- It prevents the fabric from swelling and maintains its aesthetic appeal against the driving rain or snow.
- The colloid functions as preventing the raindrops from permeating and enhancing the dispersion of sweat across the fabric surface for quick evaporation.
- This functional coating intensifies the stiffness of the waterproof breathable fabric, and solidifies both the unique fabric appearance as well as the irreplaceable functionality.
- We offer our customers with strictly manufactured microporous waterproof breathable coating fabrics, certified by BLUESIGN.
Hydrophilic Lamination
- The membrane serves the function of preventing the raindrops from penetrating and easing the humidity by allowing the perspiration to evaporate through the fabric surface.
- One of the features of the lamination is slight elasticity. Instead of limiting the various development options for the waterproof stretch fabric, it contrarily demonstrates more potentials for the forthcoming fabric applications due to its diverse functionalities and the relatively resilient texture.
- We have adopted multiple lamination materials from recycling and biomass resources. Continuous efforts have been dedicated to improve the performance of waterproof and breathable fabric for our customers.
