Studies of Adhesion Mechanisms Between PVC Coatings and Different Textile Substrates

Abstract

The adhesive bonds between a PVC coating and its fabric substrate are affected by the hydrophilic character of the material and the environmental condi tions under which the coating process is carried out. Work has been carried out at TEFO for the purpose of studying the influence of different sources of moisture on adhesion between PVC coating and substrates of polyester, nylon-based woven and knitted structures, and PES film. The results have been evaluated in accordance with the newly developed TEFO method for determining coating adhesion.

A Review of Industrial Coated Fabric Substrates

“…The adhesion of polymer coatings to substrates has been the subject of two recent papers [49][50]. Investigations are also being conducted into the use of ultraviolet laser irradiation to etch the surface of synthetic filaments to provide mechanical bonding [49,[51][52]].…”

Effect of calcium carbonate particle size and content on the thermal properties of PVC foamed layer used for coated textiles

“…Their basic components are as follows: PVC resin, a stabilizer, a plasticizer, a blowing agent, and a filler [ 8 ]. Plastisol is made by evenly mixing these components [ 9 , 10 ]. Fillers are especially utilized to reduce the cost of the final product.…”

The Study on Optimum Spray Parameters and Characterization of Flame Sprayed PVC Coating

“…Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating is seldom used to apply as industrial coatings because their difficulty on adjusting the optimum coating process parameters. Most of the case study ended up with the failure on deposition of PVC on metal substrate and revealed the degradation zone as the defected area [5].…”
