What is a coated fabric? What is nylon/polyester coated fabric? What are the types, functions and uses of coated fabrics? Coated fabric
Simply put, the so-called coated fabric is a fabric or cloth processed by a special process.
If a special process is used to coat a layer of material with special functions on the basis of the cloth, the cloth will add special functions. So it is also called functional coated fabric or cloth.
Classification of coated fabrics:
According to the different coating materials, there are three categories: PVC coated fabrics, PU coated fabrics and semi-PU coated fabrics.
According to different coating processes, there are mercerized leather fabrics, matte fabrics, anti-leather fabrics, and wrinkle leather fabrics.
There are also classified according to functions and characteristics. Such as: colored plastic fabrics, PVC coated fabrics, silver coated fabrics, calendered fabrics, flame retardant fabrics, PA moisture-permeable fabrics, PU moisture-permeable transparent fabrics and so on. Special coated fabrics: rubber-like coating, paper-like processing, waterproof and breathable, pearlescent series, oil-wax-like coating, PU gold and silver glue, high water pressure resistance series (up to 1000---10000), UV -CUT anti-ultraviolet processing and so on.
Process principle of coated fabric
It is to use solvents (toluene or methyl ethyl ketone is generally used in fabric factories) to dissolve the required coating particles (including PU glue, A/C glue, PVC, PE glue) into salivation (related to rubber and The ratio of the sol, viscosity, etc.) is then evenly coated on the fabric (with cotton, polyester, nylon and other substrates) by a scraper, and then fixed at the temperature in the oven to form a uniform layer on the surface of the fabric The covering rubber material, so as to achieve the functions of waterproof, windproof, vapor permeability and so on!
Coated fabrics or fabrics will generally get a higher improvement in yarn splitting. These coated fabrics are used in down jacket fabrics, ski wear fabrics, work protective clothing fabrics, outdoor sportswear fabrics, etc.!
