Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the structure and properties of modern membrane textile materials for waterproof clothing. The criteria for assessing the suitability of materials for the industrial production of weather-protective clothing are determined. The recommended values of the indicators of waterproofness and vapor permeability are established and the results of the research of materials applying these indicators are presented. It was revealed that the materials are characterized by low vapor permeability and can be recommended for the production of protective waterproof clothing for short-term occasional wear. It is shown that the level of properties of membrane materials cannot be assumed by any visually determined features of the structure, e.g., the number of layers, the type and interweaving of textile components, the method of their connection with the membrane.
