Textiles, fabric finishing, and fabric coatings refer to materials used to enhance textiles or clothing after weaving or the production of synthetic materials. Fabric finishing techniques improve the appearance, durability, and functionality of fabrics, making them suitable for various applications. Additionally, fabric coatings provide added features, such as water resistance and fire retardancy, increasing their effectiveness in specific environments.
The primary categories within the textiles, fabric finishing, and fabric coatings sector include textile and fabric finishing mills, as well as fabric coating mills. Textile and fabric finishing mills encompass businesses specializing in the final treatment of textiles, fabrics, and garments. These businesses may purchase unfinished fabric, have it finished under contract, and then resell the finished products at the wholesale level. Finishing operations can include processes like bleaching, dyeing, printing (using methods such as roller, screen, flock, plisse), stonewashing, and various mechanical finishing techniques like preshrinking, shrinking, sponging, calendaring, mercerizing, and napping. Additionally, they may involve cleaning, scouring, and preparing natural fibers and raw stock. Both traditional and advanced technologies are applied in this sector, serving a wide range of industries, including transportation, building and construction, protective clothing, industrial applications, medical products, sports and athletic gear, agriculture, and packaging materials.
