Water Repellency Tester is used to check the water repellency of the fabric by spray test in textile testing laboratory. Suitable for Table cloth, tapestry, flooring material fabric manufacturer or processors.Water repellency test method is applicable to any textile fabric, which may or may not have been given a water-repellent finish. It is very necessary for a manufacturer to test the water repellency ability of the fabric. This method is especially suited for measuring the water-repellent efficacy of finishes applied to fabrics.The water repellency ability of the fabric is tested with spray test. The Evaluation of the test is visual appreciation of the surface of the fabric (number of absorption points on the surface). It is very important to test the repellency of a garment worn in foul weather conditions. The more the repellency more comfortable the fabric will be during use. The repellency tends to decrease during washing, so a re-impregnation of a water repellent product is advised.
