　　Highly waterproof fabric

　　Ordinary raincoats can prevent rain from penetrating, 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 bonded to the surface of the fabric, preventing raindrops from penetrating while allowing water vapor and sweat to pass through, facilitating breathability.

　　Color-changing fabric

　　Fabrics that change color in response to light, heat, liquids, pressure, electronic signals, etc. It is made by encapsulating color-changing materials in microcapsules, dispersing them in a resin solution, and applying them to the fabric surface. It can be used to make traffic uniforms, swimsuits, etc., providing safety protection, and can also be used to make stage costumes, creating colorful and mysterious effects.

　　Anti-static fabric

　　Using hydrophilic finishing or adding conductive fibers to make the fabric conductive, this fabric is not easy to attract dust and is anti-static, making it suitable for making carpets and special work clothes such as dustproof suits.
