Q.Assertion (A): Water repellant finishes product a fabric that resist wetting and the penetration of water. Reason (R): Water repellant fabric are created with rubber and are not conformable as wearing apparel. Code :
Correct answer: Both (A) and (R) are incorrect.
Explanation
Water repellant finish is a chemical finish which produce a fabric that is resistant to wetting/water but not potent of penetration of water, at high hydrostatic pressure. Water repellent fabric are coated with wax and resin mixtures which do not block the fabric pore allowing the moisture and vapour pass through it hence do not interfere with comfortbility of fabric.
