About This Item
ASTM D7017 is a performance specification that addresses water-resistant rainwear and all-purpose, water-repellent coat fabrics. It is used to help define the requirements these textiles should meet when intended for protection against wet conditions and everyday outerwear use. For buyers, specifiers, and manufacturers, the standard provides a clear technical reference for evaluating product suitability, supporting more consistent material selection and quality expectations across rainwear and coat fabric applications.
Overview of ASTM D7017
The purpose of ASTM D7017 is to establish a standardized performance framework for fabrics designed to resist water in rainwear and general-purpose coats. As a specification, it is typically used to guide evaluation and product comparison rather than to describe a single construction or fiber type. This makes it a practical ASTM standard for procurement, testing, and quality control when assessing whether a fabric aligns with the intended water-resistant or water-repellent performance level.
Common use cases of ASTM D7017
This standard is commonly referenced when selecting or reviewing fabrics used in rainwear, lightweight outerwear, and coat materials intended to shed water. It may be used by textile suppliers, apparel developers, quality teams, and purchasers who need a consistent benchmark for water resistance in finished goods or fabric programs. ASTM D7017 is especially useful when comparing materials during development, confirming product claims, or setting expectations for performance in wet-weather applications.
Benefits of using ASTM D7017
Using ASTM D7017 can help improve consistency in material evaluation and support more reliable product specifications for water-resistant apparel fabrics. It gives stakeholders a shared technical reference that may reduce ambiguity during sourcing, testing, and compliance review. For organizations managing rainwear or coat fabric requirements, ASTM D7017 can also support better quality control and lower the risk of selecting materials that do not meet intended performance expectations.
