REPORT DESCRIPTION
Textile coating is a process wherein a layer is applied directly to both the faces of fabrics . The formulation of coating is complex and requires chemicals based on the type of fabric . Coatings used in textiles are polymers , which are long chain linear molecules . They also possess crosslinking ability . The properties of these polymeric materials influences the durability and performance of end product . The coated fabric is then heated and the coating is secured . Textile coating helps inculcate properties such as water resistance , insulation , soil and grease resistance , scratch resistance , stiffness , and heat resistance properties to the fiber .
A thick coating is achieved by applying multiple layers of coatings on the surface of fabrics . The interlayer adhesion needs to be high during the application of multiple layers . Finally , a thin top layer is applied to enhance the esthetic or technical property of the coating . The method of application of coating must be versatile with minimum tension must be applied on the fiber to reduce the chances of distortion .

Rise in demand for water proof , scratch proof , and heat resistant fabrics is the key factor driving the market for textile coating . The textile coating industry is experiencing rapid innovations such as the introduction of nanotechnology in coating fibers . Companies can avail opportunities to come up with an antibacterial coating with self-healing properties .
The textile coating market can be segmented based on the level of fabric coating into fabric level , yarn level , and filament / fiber level . Fabric level coating is the traditional method of coating , while yarn level and fiber level are advanced methodologies . Based on the type of polymers used , the textile coating market can be divided into Poly Vinyl Chloride ( PVC ), silicone , polyurethane , natural rubber , and neoprene . The type of polymer coating used depends upon the type of usage of the fiber and the physical properties required .
The market for textile coating can also be segregated in terms of end-user application in agricultural industry ( bulk containers , pond liners ), construction industry ( conveyer belting , safety vests ), clothing industry ( shoes , rainwear , leather ,
