DEVELOPMENT OF HEAT SEALABLE COATED FABRICS.
Abstract
A study was conducted wherein 28 varieties of commercially available coated fabrics, 3 substrates (one glass cloth and two varieties of nylon), 8 tie-coatings and 13 polymer coatings were investigated for the purpose of obtaining an improved coated fabric. As a result of these development and evaluation studies, it was found that a dimethyl sulfoxide treatment on an open mesh nylon substrate which was then coated with ethylene/ethyl acrylate produces an acceptable heat sealable all weather coated fabric. The dimethyl sulfoxide pretreated substrate showed an improvement of 20 F in low temperature flexibility over an untreated substrate. (Author)
