Water-repellent impregnations
Even the best jackets with a membrane demand regular processing by water-repellent impregnations. It is necessary for the several reasons. The membrane moistened can cease "to work" as water and you will get wet. Except for that the fabric is sated(saturated) with a moisture and becomes heavy and more vulnerable. vodoottalikavajushchie impregnations cover a surface of a fabric with a thin layer of special substance with low factor of a superficial tension. As a result water does not moisten a fabric, and downwards " as water simply rolls down(slides) from a duck ".
Impregnations do(make) basically on the basis of teflon or siliñon. Them put(render) on a fabric or locally (from an aerosol cylinder) or dipping a product in a solution (to be exact suspension) water-repellent impregnation. It is possible to put(render) aerosol impregnations only on a dry fabric, but quickly dry. Suspensions lay down and on wet, but dry longer. So will better take care of processing your clothes long before the beginning of a rain.
