Function and Testing of Coating Fabric

What is coating fabric? 

Coating fabric is a finishing process technology that uses a special process to coat one or more layers of coating adhesive with special functions on the basis of fabric to form one or more layers of film on the surface of the fabric. Coating adhesive is a kind of polymer compound with film-forming performance, and different types have different performances.


Functional requirements of coating fabrics

The coating can not only improve the feel, appearance and style of the fabric but also increase the performance of the fabric so that the fabric has special functions such as water resistance, water penetration resistance, air and moisture vapor permeability, flame resistance and light blocking reflection.


Function of coating fabric 


The coating fabric is widely used in down jacket rainproof pike, jacket, tent, shoes and socks, curtain, luggage and advanced waterproof and moisture permeable function of ski shirt, mountain climbing clothes, windbreaker, etc. It can also be applied to sailing, fishing, offshore oil well, transportation and other fields.


Application of coating fabric 


From the fashion market, many casual clothes are made of coating fabrics, the main styles are undershirts, jacket shirts, using PU coating, the texture is relatively light and thin. The color of coating fabric tends to be light and elegant, with light blue, light gray, light purple, etc. The biggest advantage is that it feels smooth, rainproof and easy to clean. The consumer group of coated clothing is mainly young men and women and high school students, this kind of clothing is not expensive, the style changes a lot, catering to the consumer characteristics of young people.


Testing of coating fabrics

The testing of coating fabrics is mainly carried out from two aspects: functional testing and durability testing.


Functional testing is for the specific function of the fabric, such as waterproof test, fabric water vapor permeable tester, breathability test, flame resistance test, etc. It is the basis for judging whether the fabric coating is qualified or not.


air permeability tester and hydrostatic head tester


Through air permeability tester and hydrostatic head tester, etc., we test the functionality of coating fabrics such as air permeability and water penetration resistance performance.


Flame resistance test


Fabric flame retardant tester, through the flammability chamber, is used to measure the flame resistance of textiles, products like children's sleepwear, evening dress of children, adults, special industrial wearings, curtain and etc.


Durability testing is to test the durability of fabrics, such as simulating the ageing resistance of fabrics in various light and rain environments or simulating the abrasion resistance of fabrics, which is the basis for judging the service life of coating fabrics.


Light & weather fastness tester and universal wear tester


Light & weather rubbing fastness test method and universal wear tester to test the light ageing resistance and abrasion resistance of coating fabrics.
