Using Coating as a waterproofing Technique

Coating and Lamination

Singa, K.A review on coating & Lamination in Textiles:Processes and Applications,American Journal of Polymer Science,2012

  • Polyurethane (PU) is used to waterproof clothing
  • Perfluoro, Polyacrylates, PVC, and Vinylacetate are chemicals used as coatings for waterproofing
  • Butadiene Polyurethane resin is also used as a coating to waterproof objects
  • Direct and transfer coating are best for waterproofing
