There are several common types of plastic coatings for drip molding oxford cloths, each with different characteristics and application scenarios:
Polyurethane (PU) coating: Polyurethane coating is known for its softness and breathability, and is suitable for products that require a certain degree of flexibility and comfort, such as backpacks and travel bags. PU coating not only effectively blocks moisture, but also maintains the softness of the fabric. However, although PU coating has excellent water resistance and abrasion resistance, it is slightly inferior in weather resistance and UV resistance, and may degrade slightly over time.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating: PVC coating is widely used in products that require high durability, such as tents, raincoats, and industrial fabrics, due to its excellent water resistance and abrasion resistance. It has excellent water resistance and strong resistance to chemicals and dirt. However, PVC coating is relatively hard, has poor air permeability, and may become brittle under high temperature conditions, which affects its durability.
Fluorinated polymer coating: Fluorinated polymer coating provides excellent water and stain resistance, suitable for high-end outdoor equipment and protective clothing. It can effectively block water and oil while maintaining the softness and durability of the fabric. However, this coating is expensive and may have some environmental impact during production and processing.
Silicone coating: Silicone coating is known for its high temperature resistance, softness and durability, and is suitable for applications that need to withstand high temperatures and provide good flexibility. This coating can maintain stable performance in high temperature environments, but its cost is relatively high and may affect the breathability of the fabric.
Each coating has its specific advantages and applicable scenarios. Choosing the right coating depends on specific usage requirements, such as requirements for waterproofness, wear resistance, softness and environmental protection.
