Modern Waterproof and Breathable Raincoat Supplier and Manufacturer

Raincoats are rain-proof clothes made of waterproof fabric. Waterproof fabrics suitable for raincoats include tape, tarpaulin and plastic film. Modern raincoat waterproof fabric pays attention to breathability, commonly used such as special nylon and Gore-Tex. Breathable raincoats help people to evaporate the hot and humid water vapor from the raincoat when wearing the raincoat, increasing comfort.

In 1747, French engineer François Freno produced the earliest raincoat in the world. He used latex obtained from rubber wood and put cloth shoes and jackets in this latex solution for dip coating. To the effect of waterproofing.

In a rubber factory in Scotland, England, there is a worker named McKindus. One day in 1823, McKindus accidentally dripped rubber solution on his clothes while working. After he found it, he quickly wiped it with his hands. Who knew that the rubber liquid seemed to seep into the clothes. Not only did it not wipe off, it was coated in one piece. However, McKindus was a poor worker, he was reluctant to discard this dress, so he still wore it to get off work.

Soon, McKindus discovered that the rubberized area on this dress seemed to be coated with a layer of waterproof glue. Although it looked ugly, it was impermeable. With a clever idea, he simply coated the entire piece of clothing with rubber, and as a result, he made a clothing that can block rain. With this new style of clothing, McKindus no longer has to worry about rain. This novelty soon spread. After the colleagues in the factory knew about it, they followed McKindus's practice and made waterproof tape raincoats. Later, the reputation of the tape raincoat became more and more popular, which attracted the attention of British metallurgist Parkes, who also studied this special clothing with interest. Parks felt that although the rubberized clothes were impervious to water, they were hard and brittle. They were neither beautiful nor comfortable to wear. Parks decided to make some improvements to the clothes. Unexpectedly, this improvement took more than ten years of effort. It was not until 1884 that Parkes invented the technology of using carbon disulfide as a solvent to dissolve rubber to make waterproof products, and applied for a patent. In order for this invention to be quickly applied to production and transformed into a commodity, Parkes sold the patent to a person named Charles. Since then, they have begun to produce in large quantities, and the business name of "Charles Raincoat Company" has quickly become popular all over the world.

However, people have not forgotten the credit of McKindus. Everyone calls the raincoat "McKindus." Until now, the word "raincoat" is still called "Mackintosh" (mackintosh) in English.

After entering the 20th century, the appearance of plastics and various waterproof fabrics made the styles and colors of raincoats increasingly rich. A raincoat that does not touch water has appeared on the market, which also represents a higher level of technology.
