Product: Growing preference towards PE-coated fabrics due to its cost-sensitivity and chemically harsh environments

Polyethylene (PE) coated fabrics are known for their excellent moisture resistance and are widely used in various applications, including tarps, tents, and covers for trucks, boats, and industrial machinery. Due to their low cost and high chemical resistance, they are also preferred for agricultural and construction applications. Polyurethane (PU) coated fabrics are prized for their flexibility, abrasion resistance, and ability to withstand various environmental conditions. They are frequently used in applications where comfort and aesthetics are important, such as in producing upholstery, handbags, and sports equipment. Vinyl-coated fabrics, also known as PVC-coated fabrics, are extremely durable and flame retardant, making them suited for high-stress applications such as industrial tarps, awnings, wall coverings, and the automotive industry.

Application: Expanding application of polymer-coated fabrics in agriculture and manufacturing

Polymer-coated fabrics in agriculture are typically used for their durability, resistance to various chemicals, and ability to protect crops from environmental factors. Specific applications include greenhouse covers, irrigation ditches, and shade materials. These fabrics must have UV resistance, anti-microbial qualities, and longevity. For furniture and seating, polymer-coated fabrics are appreciated for their ability to mimic the aesthetic of leather or other high-end materials while offering superior durability and ease of maintenance. They are used in both residential and commercial settings, including automotive interiors. In the geotextile industry, polymer-coated fabrics provide barrier functions, soil reinforcement, and erosion control. Attributes that define their use include puncture resistance, permeability, and environmental resistance. The industrial sector utilizes polymer-coated fabrics in many applications, such as conveyor belts, gaskets, and insulation materials. They require high resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Polymer-coated fabrics in the medical segment are essential for products such as hospital bed covers, tourniquets, and inflatable splints. They must adhere to strict hygienic standards and be impermeable to liquids and microbes. In packaging, polymer-coated fabrics are chosen for their protective properties and strength. They are used to create water-resistant, durable bags and covers for storing or transporting goods. Strength, pliability, and resistance to tearing are critical properties.
