Use of a silicone formulation for the durable functionalisation of textiles for sports clothing

摘要

An essential aim of the invention is a treatment which permits: (i) coating a textile material and/or threads, fibers and/or filaments making up the textile material, the silicone formulation cross-linking around the threads, fibers and/or filaments making up the textile material and forming a cross-linked silicone coating around the same and ii) durably imparting water-repellency and impermeability to said textile material without substantially affecting the intrinsic respirability of the textile material. Said aim is achieved by means of the present invention using at least one cross-linkable silicone formulation as a base for the textile coating material, particularly, of a textile material which may be used for the production of sports clothing.
