Water repellent

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006536

Describing a fabric or finish that resists the penetration of water, causing it to bead up and roll off the surface rather than soaking in. This property is achieved through a surface treatment that reduces the fabric's absorbency. Water repellent materials are not fully waterproof but offer protection against light rain or splashes.
