Process Overview:
Coating fabric technology involves applying a protective or decorative layer onto the surface of textiles. This coating can be made from polymers, resins, or other chemical compounds, and is applied through methods such as knife coating, roller coating, or spraying. The process enhances the fabric’s properties, providing water resistance, stain protection, UV resistance, or specialized finishes while maintaining flexibility and durability.

Advantages and Limitations:
Coated fabrics offer enhanced performance characteristics, including water repellency, stain resistance, improved durability, and additional functional or aesthetic effects. Limitations include a potential change in fabric hand or breathability, higher production costs, and the need for precise application techniques to ensure uniform coating. Coating is typically applied to fabrics compatible with the chosen coating material, such as polyester, nylon, or blended textiles.

Ideal Applications:

• Polyester / Nylon: outdoor jackets, raincoats, tents, and backpacks

• Cotton / Blended fabrics: umbrellas, table covers, aprons

• Specialty fabrics: automotive interiors, protective workwear, medical textiles
