The physical properties of the fabric can be altered by changing the weaving pattern on the loom. The types of yarn used will also have an impact on the function of the finished fabric.
Typically, woven fabrics are strong, durable and possess excellent dimensional stability. If required, stretch can be introduced through the addition of elastomeric yarns like Spandex®.
Woven fabrics are often used in industrial applications due to speed of manufacture and durability.
The performance of a textile can be greatly enhanced by a polymer coating.
At Trelleborg Engineered Coated Fabrics, we coat textiles using a wide range of manufacturing processes, including direct coating, lamination, transfer coating and hot melt coating.
Surface texture can be added through embossing, while top layer finishes can add further functionality.
