PU-Coated Fabric
PU-coated fabric is a durable, water-resistant textile made by laminating a polyurethane layer onto a base fabric, typically polyester or nylon, providing enhanced protection and versatility for various applications.
About PU-Coated Fabric
PU-coated fabric is constructed through a lamination process where a polyurethane (PU) layer is bonded to a base fabric, usually made from polyester or nylon. This lamination enhances the fabric's water resistance, durability, and overall performance. The PU coating can vary in thickness and properties, allowing for a range of applications from outdoor gear to fashion apparel. The fabric retains the breathability of the base material while providing a barrier against moisture and environmental elements.
