Fiber Coating
What is Fiber Coating?
Fiber coating is a precise and controlled process in which multifilament fibers are treated with specialized polymers and resins, then cured using various techniques. This process not only enhances the fiber’s inherent properties but also imparts new functional characteristics—expanding their suitability across a wide range of industries and applications. By coating fibers, customized textile solutions can be engineered to elevate the performance, durability, and efficiency of your end product or process.
Types of Fiber Coatings & Treatments
Fiber coating enhances the inherent properties of multifilament fibers, cords, and braids—unlocking performance levels achievable only through advanced surface treatments. Through specialized coating formulations, fibers gain targeted functionality tailored to their intended application. Some common coating formulations include:
Abrasion Resistance: Protects fibers from wear and friction, extending service life even under high-stress or repetitive motion conditions.
Adhesion Promotion: Improves bonding between fibers and surrounding materials, strengthening composite structures and overall mechanical integrity.
UV Protection: Combines UV blockers and absorbers to prevent degradation from sunlight exposure, preserving tensile strength, flexibility, and appearance for outdoor use.
Processing Aid: Enhances handling and processability during manufacturing, promoting smoother operations and reducing production costs.
Water Repellency: Creates a hydrophobic barrier that resists moisture absorption, ensuring consistent performance in humid or marine environments.
Color & Aesthetic Enhancement: Provides vivid, long-lasting coloration while protecting against fading and surface damage in both textiles and composites.
