The selection of coating materials depends on the fabric construction, production equipment, and target product requirements. Water-based acrylic latex is commonly used as the binder because it provides film formation and compatibility with pigments and functional additives. For foam coating applica... read more
In textile coating, process control plays an important role in achieving repeatable production results. A formulation may remain unchanged, but variations in processing conditions can influence coating appearance and handling properties. Mixing sequence is one example. Functional additives are gener... read more
A blackout fabric coating is made from several different materials, each serving a specific function during processing and after curing. The acrylic binder forms the continuous film and bonds the coating to the textile substrate. Titanium dioxide contributes to opacity by scattering visible light, w... read more
Foam coating is commonly used in blackout fabric manufacturing because it allows coatings to be applied with controlled density and coating weight. To maintain production consistency, several processing parameters should be monitored throughout manufacturing. The parameter is pH. Stable pH helps ma... read more
Blackout fabrics are widely used in residential curtains, hotels, offices, schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings. While the appearance of the finished fabric is important, the coating structure behind the fabric has a direct impact on light blocking, flexibility, processing stability, and lon... read more
