ABSTRACT
Batik is one of the identity of the Indonesian, in fact
has been confirmed by UNESCO in 2009 as a Masterpiece of
Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity from Indonesia. The
rapid development of batik and worldwide, making batik has the
potential to be applied to many different products, not only for
clothing products but also for many accessories like textile craft.
At this time the description will be a review on the potential to
apply batik designs on umbrellas, because in recent time many
umbrellas design adopted models of foreign designs such as
Chinese, Korean and Japanese. In production of umbrellas,
which have the resilience necessary adequate fabrics resistance
to water. Manufacture of water resistance material is done by
treating the fabric with water resistance resin (fluorocarbon).
Techniques for reacting resin on the fabric is quite varied. In this
paper will be reviewed by way of attachment resin using resist
system, so it will be patterned fabric when the fabric splash
water.
This paper focuses on the potential to be applied as a
batik design distinctively Indonesian umbrella. Creative design
product for umbrella combine with batik design and water
resistant finish can be add the value of this product.

I. INTRODUCTION
The function of umbrella commonly can be used to avoid
water when wet weather. The material for this product
made from synthetic fibers, because synthetic fibers don't
absorb moisture, and hydrophobic. That act as a "wick"
and carry water to the next layer of clothing to evaporate.
Nylon one of the synthetic fibers that does not absorb
water so this is great for some uses. Nylon has some of
the look and feel of silk. It is used in sheer hosiery, sails,
parachutes, blouses, gowns and veils, swimsuits, lingerie,
even car tires an also for umbrellas fabric. Nylon has also
called air-texturing adds bulk to the nylon to make it
useful as a floor covering. Nylon is made of polymers
known as polyamides which contain carbon, oxygen,
nitrogen, and hydrogen [1].
Fluorochemical coatings dominate the stain repellency
textile apparel market. Out of all existing textile
chemicals, only fluorochemicals have shown the unique
property to provide fabrics a sufficiently low surface
energy coating able to resist penetration of both oil and
water-based stains (polar and non-polar liquids).
Unfortunately, fabrics modified with fluorochemicals by
conventional textile finishing methods often show poor
performance with laundering or wear [2]. Application of
perfluorochemicals can be accomplished in a variety of
ways, many of which impart hydrophobicity and/or
oleophobicity to fabrics in addition to other desirable
properties. Lastly,nanoparticles of fluorochemical coated
silica and of gold have been applied to cotton and other
fabrics to create a chemically inert fiber surface with
superlyophobic properties . This broad range of
approaches reflects the interest and challenges in this
area[3].
Combine the batik design with water resistant finish for
increase hydrophobicity in umbrellas fabric can be make
umbrella has unique design and function. This trend can
be potential for application in the field of textile finishing.
Several printing technique with batik design can be used
to produce motif on fabric of umbrella. That will
increasingly be used to product smart of the future.
II. Printing technique
Printing techniques have 3 method of printing. There are
direct printing, indirect printing and transfer printing. The
direct printing that printing pasta can be direct print into
fabric. Different with indirect printing in this printing the
motif can be discharge or resist with some chemical
before printing. The transfer printing like photo printing
in the t-shirt.
Batik can be one of motif that develop in the umbrella
fabric design. Hand made and printing batik can used for
this design. The eazy process is use printing batik but for
artistict design can use hand made batik.
Discharge printing can be one of method to develop
umbrella product. In this printing, motif color is paler
than background color to make printing more beautiful
and contras.
III. Water Resistant finish
Textile finishing for this product is water resistant finish.
Pad-dry-cure method can be aplicated in this product. The
fabric with batik motif in the discharge printing can be
coating with resin fluorocarbon to get water resistant.
