What are the 5 coating techniques?

What are the 5 coating techniques? In coating, we put a protective layer (PVC, PU, silicone or other) on a carrier (nylon, polypropylene, polyester, polyamide, cotton, wool, fabric or nonwoven, film or sheet), to change or improve its physical properties and aspects.

The result is technical textiles that, for example, offer chemical protection, are anti-stain, resistant to vapors and gases, become electrically conductive, waterproof, resistant to abrasion, anti-static, printable or fire-retardant. Sioen Industries has five different coating techniques in Belgium, France and in Portugal).

Direct coating

The Coating Division is the world leader in the integrated coating of synthetic fabrics. We coat a carrier with a protective layer such as PVC, PU, silicone or other polymers. This is to make the fabric waterproof, fireproof, antistatic, breathable, printable, … and to provide protection against wind, water, cold and chemicals.

Transfer coating

The coating paste is applied to the fabric via a paper backing.
Applications: protective clothing, outdoor sportswear, shoe protection, mattress covers, airbags, etc.

Online coating

In this coating technique, the cloth (open structure fabric) passes directly from the loom into a coating bath.
Applications: geogrids, pool covers, reinforcement nets, windbreak nets, filters, etc.

Triplefabrics specializes in the production of open structure fabric. The open structure fabric goes straight from the loom into a coating bath.
We specialize in the production of open structure fabrics. The open structure fabric goes directly from the loom into a coating bath (online coating).

Main applications:

  • reinforcement for PVC roofing and swimming pool linings
  • filtration
  • construction
  • windbreak nets
  • advertising

Melt coating

In melt coating, we produce a film from different polymers that is then bonded to a carrier. This carrier can be textile, felt, knitted fabric, another film or paper.
Applications: technical textiles for sewer renovation, etc.

Calendering (rolling)

We produce TPO (Thermoplastic polyolefin) and PVC films and print a motif/ texture into them. Applications: dashboards, door panels, sun visors, wall coverings, pond linings, …
