\n2. by hot fusion<\/strong>
\nThe fabric passes between two hot cylinders pressed together. The procedure requires first the insertion of resin chips, that are melting under the heat and pressure effect, distributing the resin over the fabric on one or both sides (see plastic-coated tablecloths).<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n3. by direct coating (spreading)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThe fabric is moving forward and a knife fixed upstream is spreading the resin.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n4. coating transfer<\/strong>
\nA special paper called \u201crelease paper\u201d is previously coated and then resin-bonded to the fabric; the paper is then recovered.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n5. the lamination process of a film to a fabric, or of a fabric to another fabric<\/strong>
\nThe first fabric or the film is covered with a binder foil and then matched with a second fabric.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n6. by coagulation \u201cfinished with polyurethane\u201d<\/strong>
\nThe coagulation technology: the polyurethanes dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF) are now the protagonists of this process for obtaining coated products or microporous impregnated fabric structures with a feeling-touch, very similar to the leather or suede. The process is based on the impregnation and\/or on the coating of a suitable textile support with a PU, and it is exploiting the DMF physical resemblance with the water. The solvent is replaced by the water, and the no longer soluble PU coagulates, resulting a microporous structure.<\/p>\n
\nDefects for impregnation (cycle 1) and hot fusion (cycle 2) resin fabrics<\/strong>
\nOne of the most frequent defects of the resin-coated fabrics, is the fading in the areas that are the most subjected to rubbing during the use, noticeable moreover after washing: thickened areas, the edges of the sleeves and the bottom hem, the pocket flaps, the elbow.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe customer complains of light stains after the dry-cleaning. The outer fabric is coated inside with a white synthetic resin film. In the stained areas, the internal resin coating is missing, so that the light is reflecting differently, creating an apparent light stain optical effect.<\/p>\n

\nwith layer rending<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nUsually there are applied some reinforcement fabrics (often thermoadhesive TNT) to the garments (on the front and neck area). After washing, the laminated fabrics can get separated in some areas, resulting wrinkles and corrugations.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
