Rise in Demand for Water Proof, Scratch Proof, Heat Resistant Fabrics: Key Factor Driving Textile Coating Market By 2016 – 2024
Textile coating is a process wherein a layer is applied directly to both the faces of fabrics. The formulation of coating is complex and requires chemicals based on the type of fabric. Coatings used in textiles are polymers, which are long chain linear molecules. They also possess crosslinking ability. The properties of these polymeric materials influences the durability and performance of end product. The coated fabric is then heated and the coating is secured. Textile coating helps inculcate properties such as water resistance, insulation, soil and grease resistance, scratch resistance, stiffness, and heat resistance properties to the fiber. A thick coating is achieved by applying multiple layers of coatings on the surface of fabrics. The interlayer adhesion needs to be high during the application of multiple layers. Finally, a thin top layer is applied to enhance the esthetic or technical property of the coating. The method of application of coating must be versatile wi...
