Awnings

It is used for the outdoor protection from rain or sunlight. Usually used in the Cruise ships, Gardens, and at open air shows

Coatings and Fabrics PVC, Polypropylene and acrylic polymer coatings are used on Nylon, Polyester,

Polypropylene and acrylic base fabrics. Acrylic Lacquers are used to improve UV and sunlight resistance PVDC lacquers are used to confer heat weld ability

Characteristics Weather and sunlight durability Resistant to insects and microbes Good Strength Dimensional Stability Soil Resistant and Flame Resistant


11/26

Roofing Material

Generally used as the insulations on the roof.

Fabric and Coating Polyester or glass fiber are used in woven or Nonwoven forms Coating Materials include

EPDM, Neoprene and Hypalon, CPE and PVC

Sheets are laminated with the reinforcements on calendaring machines

Characteristics Resistance to microbes Resistant to oils and solvents Flame Resistance Resistance to UV Degradation and Ozone Water Vapor Permeability

One of the basic requirement of the upholstery is the FlameRetardancy

Fabric and Coating Fabric are back coated with FR coatings to meet the requirement and av

seam slippage

Acrylic resins and SBR are used as coating materials

Characteristics Good Fastness Properties

Drapability

Flame Retardant


15/26

Mattress Ticking

Nowadays the mattress fabric is selected based on theperformance and aesthetics bases

Fabric and Coating Polyester/Polypropylene Blend used as base fabric

Fabric is back-coated with Fungicide and FR chemicals

Characteristics Flame Retardant

Resistance to Microbes

Improved Seam slippage due to back coating

Back Coating Resists the permeability of the feathers or fibers


16/26

Pillowcases

Pillowcases are used for covering and for the aesthetics

Fabric and Coating Woven Cotton or Polyester/Cotton Fabric

Acrylic Coatings are used to make the fabric compact

Transfer coated polyurethane on light weight fabric is also available

Characteristics Close structure to avoid permeability of fibers or feathers

Good fastness properties

Development of barriers against dust mites


17/26

Shower Curtains

Generally these are used in showers so they must posses the rainresistant property

Fabric and Coating 100% polyester fabric are used

Water Repellant and Antimicrobial Coatings

are generally carried for the shower curtains

Characteristics Water Repellent

Good Drape

Good Wash Fastness

Resistant to Microbes and Rotting


18/26

Curtain Linings

Their usage is for protection from the sunlight. It should also impart anaesthetic appeal.

Fabric and Coating For light colored curtains three layers are necessary

A white Base

A Black-out layer

Top layer of pigmented resin

Micro glass spheres are introduced to get increased insulation Aluminum flakes are sometimes added to the coating to get insulation through reflec

Characteristics Opaque surface Washable and good washing fastness Thermal Insulation


19/26

Blinds

These are also used for the protection from sunlight

Blinds are produced in two major forms Roller Blinds

Vertical Louvre Blinds

Fabric and Coating Roller Blinds are made up of woven or knitted fabrics and coated with resins along with fillers, FR chem

Soil-Repellent finish on the face side

Louvre Blinds are composed of natural or synthetic fibers coated with resins to impart opaqueness and aprotect against the UV degradation

Characteristics Flame Retardant

Soil- Repellant

Dimensionally Stable

Resistant to UV Degradation

Resistant to fraying of Edges during Usage


20/26

Aprons

Aprons have a general requirement of Waterproofing and stainrepellant feature as they are used in kitchens mostly

Fabric and Coating Cotton and Polyester/Cotton with PVC coating using Knife or Calendar

Characteristics Waterproofing

Resistant to stains (Food, Oils and Greases)

Good Drape and Flexibility


21/26

Table-cloths

Table-cloths are used for covering out the table and usually thescome into contact with the hot food so they must possess he heresistant property. Aesthetic appeal is also very important

Fabric and Coating Woven polyester or polyester/Cotton coated by PVC with Knife or Calend

PVC is commonly used coating material for the table-cloths

Water based resins e.g. Acrylics are also being used since they impart thetextile like qualities with some aesthetics

Characteristics Temperature Resistance


22/26

Synthetic Wash Leather

It is used generally for the washing purpose. Specially cars

Fabric and Coating Non-woven base fabric or raised cotton fabric

Rubber Latex or Acrylic Based Coating through foam coating process

Characteristics Water resistant

Solvent resistant

Good abrasion property


23/26

Baby pants Fabric

Kids wear that was used for the protection against the moisturebut later on these were replaced with the nappies

Fabric and Coating Woven Nylon fabric

Polyurethane or water based acrylic resin coating

Characteristics Washable fabric with good fastness properties

Waterproofing

Soft Handle


24/26

Iron Board Covers

The covering for the Iron Stand needs to be heat resistant for sustainithe working temperature

Fabric and Coating Aluminum powder in crushed foam resin formulation and coating on a fabric

surface.

Fabric surface should be flat and wrinkle free

Characteristics Smooth heat conductive and heat reflective surface

Good abrasion resistance

Moisture resistant


25/26

Carpets

Carpets have a huge application of the coated material in terms of the Blockthe tufts and slippage resistance specially

Fabric and Coating Water-based resins and SBR are mostly used due to

their availability and economical aspects Coatings are usually 2-6mm thick but it can be

increased also for particular requirement The coatings must be elastic to avoid creasing The resins used should be dimensionally stable, be

resistant to water, heat and light ageing. Proper vulcanizing of rubber is important, else it releases offensive odors FR chemicals are also being introduced in the coating recipes for more security meas For the usage in planes, aircrafts and trains, there is an stringent requirement of the

for which Neoprene Latex is widely used
