What Material Is PVC For Raincoats?

The materials of raincoats can be broadly divided into three categories, with different materials and varying prices. Consumers can choose according to their actual situation: using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as the material: the commonly seen jelly semi transparent plastic raincoat on the outside, which is inexpensive but prone to damage. Made of nylon and polyvinyl chloride: The inner surface of nylon fabric is coated with a layer of PVC waterproof layer, which is affordable and not easily damaged, and is now the main material used for raincoats. Using waterproof and breathable cloth as the material: The inner surface of the fabric is coated with a layer of waterproof and breathable coating, such as raincoats commonly used by police and mountaineers. Its waterproof and breathable layer has 1 billion micropores per square inch, which can allow gas molecules to pass through but cannot allow larger water molecules to pass through, thus achieving waterproof and breathable effects. The disadvantage of waterproof and breathable cloth is that it is relatively expensive. In terms of material selection, raincoats are generally made of nylon and polyvinyl chloride, which have good quality, affordable price, and good waterproof effect.
