Coating is an application of an appropriate chemical system to form a layer of a coating compound on the substrate.
Coating is a process in which a polymeric layer is applied directly on one or both the surfaces of the fabric.
Depending upon the end-use, heavy-duty technical textile coatings may be applied.
Unlike woven textile materials now coating is being done on other textile substrates also such as warp-knitted, weft-knitted and nonwovens.
