Water Repellency & Spray Tester – For Determination of Resistance to Surface Wetting

Water Repellency & Spray Tester is designed to assess the resistance of textile fabrics—whether treated with a water-repellent finish or not—to surface wetting by water.

The test involves spraying a specified volume of distilled or deionized water onto a fabric specimen secured at a 45° angle. The appearance of the specimen is then evaluated using a standardized rating scale to determine its resistance to wetting.
