In apparel, coating deals with one layer and lamination with two or more. The four-step process runs both together, and what comes out spans raincoats to technical gloves.
Outdoor technical textile coating runs in four stages and gives the fabric four protection properties. Here are the stages, where sol-gel and plasma come in, and which products the result goes to.
On a carpet backing line the result is settled not by one unit but by the order of six steps. Here is the running order from feeding to fixation, and what each step decides.
Two things settle the result on an umbrella or sunshade fabric: which filament you start from, and whether the polymers crosslink in the dryer unit. Here is the process from raw materials to fixation.
