Waterproof workwear is a 100% polyester, PU-coated technical textile, with a weight of 180 g/m² providing a durable and resistant solution. Its water-repellent surface with approximately 3,000 mm water resistance makes it ideal for workwear and outdoor use, such as raincoats and protective clothing. The 150 cm width allows for economical cutting, while its strong structure ensures long-term use. If a lighter version intended for everyday wear is needed, it can be found among the PU-coated water-repellent fabrics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Waterproof workwear
Belonging to the coated water-repellent fabric base materials, Waterproof workwear is a technical textile made from 100% polyester with a PU coating, providing high waterproofing and enhanced durability. The 180 g/m² weight and 150 cm width make it ideal for professional workwear and industrial use.Waterproof workwear is a strong, functional fabric designed specifically for intensive use. Thanks to the polyurethane (PU) coating, the material is water-repellent and has a water column of approximately 3000 mm, providing effective protection against rain and moisture. The construction allows for adequate comfort even during extended use. If, alongside protection against water, the escape of vapour is also a consideration, the TPU film laminated fabrics are the parallel solution.
Material composition and structural characteristics
The 100% polyester base material provides the high tensile strength and abrasion resistance essential in a workwear environment. The PU coating forms a protective layer on the material that prevents water penetration while contributing to the material's durability.
The 180 gsm weight represents a medium-thick category, offering a good balance between protection and wearing comfort. The 150 cm width can be well applied for various cutting patterns, especially in industrial manufacturing.
Applications
Waterproof workwear is an ideal choice for workwear purposes, such as making rain protection clothing, high-visibility (Hi-Vis) jackets, padded coats and hard-wearing waistcoats. The waterproof property is particularly important during outdoor work. For the inner layer of lined versions, breathable mesh fabric is the usual pairing.
For industrial accessories, it can be used as a base material for strong work bags, tool holders and various protective covers. It is suitable for sports and outdoor use for making hiking jackets and technical apparel, where protection against water and comfort are both important.
