High-Performance Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) for Textile Coating

Welcome to our product page dedicated to Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) for advanced Textile Coating applications. Our specialized LSR compounds are meticulously designed to enhance the performance, durability, and feel of a wide variety of fabrics. Providing excellent adhesion, flexibility, and a range of beneficial physical properties, our textile coating LSR is the ideal solution for creating high-quality coated textiles for diverse industries, including sportswear, protective clothing, medical textiles, and upholstery.

Key Benefits of Our Textile Coating LSR

Applying our LSR to textiles unlocks a range of performance-enhancing properties:

• Exceptional Durability & Abrasion Resistance: Forms a tough yet highly flexible layer that significantly increases the lifespan of the textile by resisting wear and abrasion.

• Excellent Flexibility & High Elongation: Moves seamlessly and comfortably with the underlying fabric without cracking, peeling, or delaminating, crucial for dynamic applications like apparel.

• Waterproof & Water-Repellent Properties: Creates a highly effective barrier against moisture, keeping the textile dry. Certain formulations can be designed to maintain breathability.

• Soft Haptics (Touch & Feel): Provides a pleasant, non-tacky, and smooth or grippy surface touch depending on formulation, enhancing comfort and functionality.

• Customizable Surface Effects: Can be formulated to provide specific surface properties, such as enhanced grip for gloves or reduced friction.

• Excellent Adhesion: Demonstrates strong, lasting adhesion to various natural fibers, synthetic fibers, and blends without the need for extensive pre-treatment.

• Environmental Resistance: Offers robust stability against UV light exposure, temperature variations, and common chemicals.

• Easily Pigmentable: Can be readily colored to match specific design requirements and aesthetics.
