A Review on Coating & Lamination in Textiles: Processes and Applications

Abstract

Coating and lamination are two functional processes which are used make a proper finishing to the textile material. The coating formulation with different textile grade polymer like PVC, PU, acrylic, PTFE are hugely used to make a textile product with multipurpose way like-waterproof protective clothing, tarpaulin, protective clothing, electrical insulation etc. on the other hand lamination process is used to prepare some important textile products with daily uses in our practical life like-blackout curtains and blinds, and c. In this current work is related to details of lamination theory, various processes, formulations, application, recent developments of the coating and lamination in the textile field.

Experimental results on the flow rheology of fiber-laden aqueous foams

“…The solid and dashed lines are calculated from Eq. (9) with the parameter values given in Table 1. The relative slip values are always smaller than 40%, i.e.…”

“…Foams are also used in making laminates and composites, and in various coating processes. [5][6][7][8][9] In the 1970s several articles on foam, as a replacement for water in paper making, were published [10][11][12]. In this process aqueous, viscous foam is used to transport fibers and to deposit them via a drainage process.…”

Multi-functionalization of cellulosic fabrics using Nanotechnology

“…The polymer coating must stick to the textile and a sharp edge or comparative opening controls the thickness of the viscus polymer. Thick coating is needed, this might be developed by applying progressive covering layers, layer on layer, Inter layer attachment should consequently be high 67 . At long last, a slender top layer might be connected for tasteful or specialized improvement of the coating 67 .As one of the least demanding and most effective ways, fire resistant coatings have been utilized generally to secure a substrate against flame.…”

Effect of hot-pressing on properties of bubble-electrospun nanofiber membrane

“…The laminated fabric has the advantage of each material, enhances and extends the range of functional performance properties of textiles. Cheaper fabric structures may be coated or laminated to provide higher added value to end users and higher profit margins to manufacturers [2]. For example, the Gore-Tex fabric is made by bonding the Gore-Tex membrane with traditional fabrics, the artificial leather can be made by bonding suedette with woven or knitted fabrics.…”

“…The adhesive plays a very important role on the air permeability which is a key factor of the comfortablity of the laminated fabrics. The roller coating and adhesives film often cause bad air permeability [2].…”
