Introduction and differences between coated fabrics and composite fabrics

【Coated Fabric】

Coated fabric is a fabric (or non-woven fabric) 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 saliva-like shape, and then uses a certain method (cylindrical screen, scraper or roller to ) is evenly applied on the fabric (including cotton, polyester, nylon and other base materials), and then fixed by the temperature in the oven to form a uniform layer of covering glue on the surface of the fabric.

【Composite Fabric】

Composite fabrics can be understood as new fabrics in which two (or more) fabrics with different compositions, different tissues or different dyeing and finishing processes are organized together through a special process.

Composite fabrics apply the high technology and new materials of “new synthetic fibers” and have many excellent properties (compared with ordinary synthetic fibers). For example, the fabrics are fine, clean, delicate, elegant, and warm, and the fabrics have a plump appearance, are windproof, and are breathable. It has certain waterproof function.

Its main features are warmth and good breathability. Another feature of this fabric is that it has good wear resistance. Microfiber fabrics feel soft, breathable, and moisture-permeable, so they have obvious advantages in terms of touch and physiological comfort. Microfiber fabrics have poor wrinkle resistance (this is This is because the fibers are soft and have poor elastic recovery after wrinkles); in order to overcome this shortcoming, a “composite” process is adopted, which greatly improves the shortcomings of poor wrinkle resistance of microfiber fabrics. Composite fabric is a popular outerwear fabric in Europe and America.
