Washproof and solvent-resistant crosslinking polymers are VAE polymers that are used to improve the durability and resistance of fabric against washing and solvent exposure.
Washproof VAE dispersion polymers are used to improve the resistance of fabric to washing, so that it maintains its strength and appearance after multiple washings. They work by crosslinking the fibers of the fabric, which makes the fabric more resistant to the mechanical action of washing.
Solvent-resistant crosslinking polymers are used to improve the resistance of fabric to exposure to solvents, such as gasoline, oil, and chemicals. They work by forming a protective coating on the fabric that protects it from the solvent.
These polymers are usually applied to the fabric using a coating technique such as spraying, roller coating, or dipping. The type of polymer and the method of application will depend on the specific properties desired and the type of fabric being treated.
