Surface Tension; Water and Oil Repellency


Liquid drop
Solid
Whether an object tends to become wet or not is determined by its surface tension. When a liquid touches a solid surface it is repelled to form beads if the surface tension of the liquid is larger than the surface tension of the solid. The solid becomes wet if its surface tension is larger than the surface tension of the liquid.

Fabric
Fluororesin
Wax
Fabric becomes wet because its surface tension is higher than that of water.
The surface tension of fluororesin is very low, so repels water and oil.
Wax is used as a water repellent because of its low surface tension, however wax does not repel oil, since oil has a lower surface tension.
