Textile Coating

The use of coated fabrics is common in industry, in transmission belts, conveyor belts or barrier
materials.
Equally, in the field of health, coated fabrics are used as barrier materials, implants, incontinence
products, hospital equipment and hygiene products.
Textile coatings are common in gloves, cut resistant materials, clothing for clean rooms, fire, bad
weather or NBC protection clothing, high visibility clothing, etc.
They also have their applications in the sports (shoes, anoraks, etc.) and leisure sectors
(haversacks, camping tents, sleeping bags, etc.)
The possible uses of coated textiles are constantly growing, especially the breathable and
waterproofing textiles. With this increase, there is a notable variation in the materials employed.
From two years ago a progressive decrease in PVC coating (except for truck canvas) and an
increase of polyurethane coatings are noticed. On the other hand, an increase is foreseen in
coated textiles being used in textile architecture (PES/PVC or glass/PTFE), airbags, reflectors or
posters and publicity flags amongst others.
