Coated fabrics
Coated fabrics are textiles that have a special layer applied to their surface to enhance properties like water resistance, durability, or UV protection. The coating can be made from materials such as polyurethane, PVC, or acrylic, and it forms a protective barrier without significantly changing the fabric's appearance or feel. These fabrics are commonly used in outdoor gear, rainwear, tents, and upholstery to provide added function and longevity. The coating process allows the fabric to better withstand environmental stresses while maintaining flexibility and breathability depending on the coating type.
