Product Details
A new coating material development based on high-solid fully waterborne PVD. By carefully controlling the rheology of the coating material it can be selectively applied in very high coating thickness and then sandwiched into two layers of fabric. For the selective coating application on the first fabric layer a new coating process was developed allowing very efficient application of totally unusual very high coating thickness of up to a few millimetres. In the second step, a single layer mesh with open holes is pressed on top of the highly thixotropic coating mass using specially developed tools. Within this process the coating will be pressed through the holes of the single layer mesh and permeate through the top layer. Exciting 3D pins coming through the mesh are the result. During the process, there is no solvent emission and performance is extremely good, fulfilling even hard athletic footwear criteria.
