Silicone
Coatings
Silicone rubber
coatings are used to provide low friction characteristics to fabric
and to other substrates. This is useful where a process demands that
one surface is easily detachable from another, for example where foams
are cast onto stainless steel belting during production of carpets and
underlays. Silicones are also applied to glasscloths for construction
of conveyor belting (and food preparation trays) for the food
industry, where a similar release coating is required. Chemipat is
experienced in the formulation of silicone coatings for a wide range
of applications.
Silicone
coatings can also be used when applying a finishing coat to fabrics.
This imparts characteristics such as low surface reflectivity, final
waterproofing, etc.
