Coatings are used to enhance the physical and mechanical characteristics of textile substrates; the addition of a coating can generate enhanced properties for the system.
At Tex Tech, we are expert textile coaters who know how to select and apply the ideal polymer system to allow the finished product to perform to its maximum potential. Depending on the specific needs, we can tailor the coatings application to one or both sides of the textile fabric and apply multiple different coatings to layer different improvements. Polymer coatings can be specifically designed to boost targeted performance factors—the list of potential performance enhancement capabilities is virtually limitless but often include:
- Abrasion resistance
- Adhesion promotion
- Air holding
- Antimicrobial
- Flame resistance
- Increased durability
- Noise abatement
- Thermal resistance
- Waterproofing
- Weldability
We have the capability to apply solvent, aqueous, and 100% solid coatings. The methods we use to apply include:
- Direct (knife over roll, knife over table, knife over air)
- Immersion (dip-coating)
- Reverse roll coating
- Heat lamination
- Adhesive lamination
- Transfer coating
