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,
