Silicone-Coated Fabric
Silicone-coated fabric is a durable, water-resistant material made by laminating a silicone layer onto a base fabric, typically fiberglass or polyester, providing excellent weather resistance and flexibility.
About Silicone-Coated Fabric
This fabric is constructed through a lamination process where a silicone layer is bonded to a substrate, often made of fiberglass or polyester. The silicone coating enhances the fabric's durability, making it resistant to water, UV rays, and abrasion. It is commonly used in outdoor applications, such as tents, tarps, and protective gear, due to its lightweight yet robust nature.
