TPU composite fabric is a new type of fabric
TPU composite fabric is to use TPU film to compound various fabrics to form a composite material, combining the characteristics of the two to obtain a new type of fabric.
Advantages of TPU composite fabric:
It can improve the texture of the fabric, so that the fabric has special functions such as waterproof and moisture permeability, radiation resistance, washing resistance, abrasion resistance, and high and low temperature resistance.
TPU composite fabric uses: inflatable life jackets, diving BC jackets, life rafts, inflatable boats, inflatable tents, military inflatable self-inflating mattresses, massage air bags, medical anti-decubitus mattresses and professional waterproof backpacks.
Coated fabrics are fabrics (or non-woven fabrics) covered with a layer of polymer or other materials to form a composite of fabric and polymer.
The coated fabric uses solvent or water to dissolve the required coating particles (including PU glue, A/C glue, PVC, PE glue) into a salivation shape, and then use a certain method (cylinder, scraper or roller) ) Coat evenly on the fabric (with cotton, polyester, nylon and other substrates), and then fix it at the temperature in the oven to form a uniform layer of covering rubber on the surface of the fabric.
Advantages of coated fabrics:
It has undergone a certain technological process to make it rich and diverse, and the fabric is relatively smooth, soft to the touch, strong skin-friendly, rich in color, good gloss, durable and durable. And it has a wide range of applications, widely used in sportswear, down jackets, rain-proof parkers, coats, tents, footwear, curtains, bags, and advanced waterproof and moisture-permeable ski shirts, mountaineering suits, windbreakers, etc.
Disadvantages of coated fabrics:
Its shortcomings are mainly reflected in its strong heat absorption, so it is generally not used in the production of summer clothing; in addition, this type of fabric is not suitable for intimate clothing fabrics. In addition, its stain resistance is relatively poor, and it is easily contaminated by various stains, so it is more difficult to clean, and if it is cleaned too hard, it will cause cracking.
