　　Highly waterproof fabric

　　Ordinary raincoats can prevent rainwater penetration, but they are not conducive to removing sweat and water vapor. Breathable waterproof fabrics change this shortcoming, utilizing the large difference in size between water vapor particles and raindrops. A porous membrane with pores smaller than raindrops is applied to the surface of the fabric, preventing raindrops from penetrating, while allowing water vapor and sweat to pass through smoothly, which is conducive to breathability.

　　Color-changing fabric

　　Fabrics that can change color with changes in light, heat, liquid, pressure, electronic lines, etc. It is made by encapsulating color-changing materials in microcapsules, dispersing them in resin liquid, and applying them to the fabric surface. It can be used to make traffic clothing, swimwear, etc., playing a role in safety protection, and can also be used to make stage costumes, achieving colorful and mysterious effects.

　　Anti-static fabric

　　By using hydrophilic finishing or adding conductive fibers, the fabric has conductivity. This fabric is not easy to absorb dust and is anti-static, making it very suitable for making carpets and special work clothes such as dust-proof clothing.
