FAQ: Textile Coatings Overview

What types of textile coatings does Nanoflam offer?
Nanoflam develops and manufactures advanced textile coatings, including flame-retardant (FR) backcoatings, blackout/dimout systems, digital printing coatings, transport textile coatings, outdoor & technical solutions, and environmentally focused (water-based) coating technologies. Each formulation is selected for the end-use, substrate, and required performance standard.
Which application methods are supported?
Depending on the target performance, coatings can be supplied for foam, paste, or liquid application and implemented through common industrial processes such as knife-over-roller, air knife, screen coating, padding, or spray. The best method depends on fabric structure, line setup, and target add-on.
Can coatings be tailored to my fabric and production line?
Yes. Coatings are typically selected and optimized for your specific substrate (fiber blend, construction, finishing), target standard, and process conditions. This helps balance compliance requirements, durability, handle, and cost-in-use on your existing equipment.
Are your coatings water-based?
Nanoflam’s portfolio emphasizes water-based coating technologies. Water-based systems are often chosen to reduce reliance on solvent-based chemistry and to support process and sustainability goals, while maintaining required performance for the intended application.
Will coating affect fabric handle and breathability?
Coating always changes a textile to some extent, but formulations can be designed to maintain soft handle and flexibility and to avoid unnecessary stiffness. Final feel depends on substrate, add-on level, and the performance target (e.g., FR, blackout, abrasion).
How do I choose the right product category?
Start with the end-use (upholstery, drapes/blinds, printing, transport, outdoor/technical) and the required standards (FR tests, durability, blackout level). If you share the substrate and target test(s), you can narrow down to a suitable coating system quickly.
