Coatings for Outdoor Textiles.
Contact us
High-performance coatings for outdoor textiles, engineered to deliver durability, weather resistance, and long-term fabric protection.
Each formulation complies with strict industry and test standards, ensuring quality and reliability for demanding outdoor applications. With advanced formulation and production expertise, we develop bespoke, innovative coatings that enhance fabric performance across awnings, tents, outdoor furniture, and industrial covers.
Awnings and Parasols.
Durable flame-retardant coatings for outdoor awnings and parasols, suitable for acrylic, polyester, and polypropylene fabrics. These transparent formulations can be combined with other treatments to deliver water and oil repellency, ensuring long-term weather protection. Coatings can be applied by backcoating or padding, providing flexibility and reliable performance for outdoor textile applications.
Outdoor Upholstery.
High-performance fire-retardant coatings for outdoor upholstery fabrics, designed to meet both domestic and contract standards. These formulations maintain comfort, colour, and flexibility while offering enhanced resistance to UV exposure, moisture, and abrasion – ensuring lasting protection and performance in demanding outdoor environments.

FAQ: Outdoor & Technical Textile Coatings
Which properties are most important for outdoor textiles?
Typical targets include weather resistance, abrasion resistance, adhesion stability, and maintaining appearance after long-term exposure. Depending on the end-use, water and oil repellency and specific durability requirements may be key as well.
Can you combine FR with water/oil repellency?
In many projects, multifunctional designs are possible (e.g., FR plus water/oil repellency). Feasibility depends on substrate, target standard, and process conditions, so it’s usually validated through application trials.
Which fibers are common for awnings and umbrellas?
Typical substrates include acrylic, polyester, and polypropylene. Coating selection depends on the fiber chemistry, fabric construction, and the required weathering and mechanical performance.
How are outdoor coatings applied?
Depending on the product, coatings can be applied via backcoating or padding and other standard industrial methods. The best route is chosen based on fabric type, target add-on, and the required performance outcome.
Will coating reduce breathability or flexibility?
It can be over-applied, but coatings can be tuned to balance protection with drape and flexibility. The final effect depends on substrate, coating weight, and the performance target.
