Urethane
Polyurethane (PU) is known, in particular, for its superior properties in tear strength, adhesion to fabrics, and air holding capabilities. Trelleborg has built an extensive portfolio of custom formulations that offer industry-leading field performance in these applications.
We have the ability to urethane coat both common fabrics, such as Nylon and Polyester, as well as speciality fabrics such as Kevlar and Nomex.
In addition, our urethane processing capabilities include film lamination and fabric to fabric lamination. We offer industry-leading gauges as well as excellent strength-to-weight ratios, ideal for air holding applications.
Our PU coated fabrics are trusted as the top performing in market. In fact, Trelleborg is the leading supplier of urethane coated material used in the fabrication of aircraft evacuation slides. We also supply fabric for life rafts and life vests used in the aerospace industry.
