Liquid Polymers as Coatings for Improved Coated Fabrics.

Abstract

The use of polyurethane, vinylpolybutadiene, and silicone liquid polymers as coatings for woven and nonwoven substrates are presented. The polyurethane with their good strangth and excellent resistance to ozone and abrasion were the best of the liquid polymers tested. Moisture-curing of the liquid polyurethane polymers tended to produce some variability in breaking strangth. The silicone-coated woven substrates had lower strangth than those of the uncoated substrates. The silicone appears to have a lubricating effect on the individual yarns that causes them to slide past one another and pull out of the coating, providing little or no reinforcement The best combination of properties was obtained from a Betaglass .Dynel substrated coated with A diprene L- 100.
