ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates in general to a method and variations thereof for making an article, such as cloth, water repellent and/or water resistant (i.e. hydrophobic) as well as oil repellent (i.e. oleophobic). In particular, the method involves the process of providing a thin-layer polymer coating on the article thereby rendering the article water repellent and/or water resistant. Articles made according to the method of the present invention are also disclosed and claimed herein as are the treated articles' use.
