What makes a textile coating “environmentally friendly”?
Technical Coatings and Specials.
Contact us
Advanced technical textile coatings engineered for woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics, delivering multi-functional performance and long-term durability. These formulations provide flame retardancy, water repellency, abrasion resistance, and other specialist properties without compromising the fabric’s appearance or handle. By optimising the balance between fabric, chemistry, and process, we deliver tailored solutions that meet exact performance requirements with proven cost efficiency.
Military.
High-performance coatings for military textiles, designed for camouflage nets, tents, and apparel requiring durability and multifunctional protection. Formulations deliver flame retardancy, weather resistance, and mechanical strength, meeting the specific demands of defence and tactical applications.
Heat Protective Coatings.
Specialist heat- and flame-resistant coatings providing protection for high-temperature workwear and technical fabrics. Silicone-based systems ensure reliable thermal insulation and mechanical flexibility, helping fabrics meet international fire-safety and performance standards.
Wallcovering.
Advanced coatings for wallcoverings, tailored to meet aesthetic and functional requirements. Formulated as adhesive or base layers, they offer excellent adhesion, flexibility, and flame-retardant performance. Suitable for both standard and FR wallcovering applications, ensuring safety and durability across decorative and contract environments.
Specials.
Custom technical coating solutions developed for unique or challenging textile applications. Whatever the performance requirement — from chemical resistance to extreme durability — bespoke formulations are designed to meet precise functional, aesthetic, and safety specifications.

FAQ: Environmentally Friendly Textile Coatings
Can one coating provide multiple functions (FR + water repellency + abrasion)?
Yes, multifunctional coatings can be developed to combine flame retardancy with properties such as water repellency and abrasion resistance. The best formulation depends on the substrate, add-on, and the specific test standards to be met.
Will sustainable coatings compromise appearance or handle?
Not necessarily. Systems can be designed to maintain appearance and handle while achieving technical performance. The real outcome depends on the fabric, application method, and required performance level.
What technical applications are covered here?
Examples include military textiles, heat-protective coatings, wallcoverings, and other specialized end-uses where performance and compliance requirements are strict and must be validated per application.
Do you support OEKO-TEX / ZDHC / MRSL-related customer requirements?
These topics are commonly requested in textile supply chains. The right approach is to align coating selection with your customer’s compliance framework and confirm documentation and testing expectations early in the project.
Can coatings be optimized for processing efficiency (e.g., drying energy)?
Yes. In many coating lines, solids content, add-on level, and drying conditions materially impact energy use and throughput. Coating design can target performance while supporting process efficiency, depending on the constraints of the production setup.
