Coating

In the last years technical textiles became enormously important. This applies especially to Western European garment and home textiles producers who made up for losses of sales by adding technical articles to their product range. We joined this trend with the buildup of a department for auxiliaries for technical textiles.

Coating takes an outstanding position in the finishing of technical textiles. At this technology the adjustment of machine – fabric – chemistry has to be carried out particularly precisely. Each task is thoroughly analysed in our laboratory. Thus we understand coating tasks as inquiries directed to our Research and Development department.

Fields of application of the textile

Workwear
Automotive interior
Parachute cloths
Interlinings
Awnings
Matress drill
Mosquito repellent fabrics
Outdoor wear
Upholstery back
Canvas
Roller blinds
Radiation protection fabric (EMC)
Camouflage nets
Reflective clothing
Wiping cloths
Tents

Depending on its intended use the textile has to be finished with diverse functions. These functions are of completely different type and can be combined for each application purpose.

Functions of the textile

Black-out
Breathability
Flame retardance
Protection against infrared radiation
Protection against corrosion
(Anti-Fingerprint)
Air impermeability
Absorbency
Protection against mildew
Protection against radiation
Water repellence
Water impermeability

To achieve these effects a variety of chemical and physical processes are applied with the objective to combine the necessary raw materials in only one product – the compound. These compounds do not only provide with the requested functions, but also grant to the customers an easy and safe application.
