Water vapor-permeable and waterproof material and method for manufacturing the same

Fabric and a production process therefor

The present invention provides a coated polyester fiber fabric, produced by coating a polyester fiber structure dyed by a disperse dye, with a resin, comprising an organic peroxide in said coating resin. The present invention also presents a coated polyester fiber fabric, produced by coating a polyester fiber structure dyed by a disperse dye, with a resin, comprising aromatic rings in said coating resin. The present invention furthermore presents a process for preparing a coated polyester fiber fabric, comprising the step of coating a polyester fiber structure dyed by a disperse dye, with a resin solution containing an organic peroxide. The coated polyester fiber fabric of the present invention has excellent fastness against dye migration and staining, and washing durability. On the other hand, the process of the present invention allows said coated fabric to be very simply and stably produced without using any special apparatus, and hence is industrially very effective.

Coated polyester fiber fabric and a production process therefor

A polarization film which has excellent polarizing ability and resistance to moisture and heat is described. The polarization film includes an oriented polyvinyl-alcohol-type film having iodine adsorbed thereon, and contains a zirconium compound or a manganese compound. The zirconium compound or the manganese compound is thought to prevent dissociation of a polyiodide ion such as I.sub.3.sup.- or I.sub.5.sup.- capable of providing the polarizing ability. The polarization film of the invention may be suitable for use in a variety of liquid crystal displays, including those which are used in severe environments, such as automotive display devices, and in ordinary household devices, for example word processors.

Polarization film

A waterproof fabric having a high moisture permeability and having an ultra-microporous continuous polymer coating having an average pore diameter in the range of between 50 .ANG. and 0.2.mu., said polymer having a monomer unit containing at least one acid radical selected from carboxyl group, sulfonic acid group, and alkali metal salts thereof.
