Textile waterproofing agents are chemicals or coatings applied to textiles to make them resistant to water. These agents can be used on various fabrics to enhance their durability, making them suitable for outdoor clothing, tents, awnings, and other applications where water resistance is essential.
With the rapid development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, people's functional requirements for textiles are also constantly increasing. Some specially finished functional textiles have attracted much attention because they can provide people with various excellent wearing properties. Textile products with waterproof and oil-proof effects are one of them. Fabrics that have been waterproof and oil-proof are favored by consumers because they can resist rain and oil stains without affecting the original comfort and dryness of the fabric. Textile waterproofing agents are usually used in umbrellas, tents, outdoor sportswear, printing and dyeing to prevent color penetration, etc. As far as the current market for waterproof and oil-proof finishing agents is concerned, fluorine-containing waterproofing agents are more widely used. Fluorine-containing waterproofing agents have the most obvious effect after application on textiles and have good washability, but the cost is high, and most textile fluorine-containing waterproofing agent products contain perfluorooctane sulfonyl compounds (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Perfluorooctane sulfonyl compounds PFOS and perfluorooctanoic acid PFOA are very stable in nature, difficult to degrade, highly bioaccumulative, have certain bioaccumulative properties, and have serious ecological problems.
With the further improvement of environmental protection and chemical safety requirements in developed countries, as well as the continuous improvement of market consumption standards, more and more fabrics are given multifunctionality. Waterproofing, oil repellency and easy decontamination are very important research areas. In order to meet people's increasing demand for functionality and comfort of textiles, more and more textile products are given corresponding functions, and waterproof performance is an important functional indicator. Protective equipment, tents, sleeping bags, mountaineering clothes, ski clothes, shoes and hats, luggage, shower curtains, medical supplies, labor protection clothing and other products in daily life need to have good waterproof and oil-proof effects. At present, fluorocarbon-containing waterproof agents are still the only ones that can meet these characteristics. Due to the PFOS and APEO bans, more and more research focuses on the development of new fluorine-free waterproof finishing agents, and fluorine-free waterproofing will also become the mainstream of future development [4, 13]. In the future, new technologies such as dendritic polymers, nanotechnology, microcapsule technology, plasma, etc. will gradually be used in fluorine-free fabric waterproofing agents. Many fluorocarbon waterproof finishing agents on the market will gradually be eliminated, and low-cost, environmentally friendly, high-performance fluorine-free waterproofing agents will become more and more popular. Improving the washing resistance of fluorine-free waterproofing agents and combining oil and stain resistance will be the development trend of fluorine-free waterproofing agents in the future.
