Abstract
A coated textile substrate containing a textile substrate having an inner side and an outer side and a continuous coating on at least the one side of the textile substrate. The continuous coating comprises a mixture of polyester polyurethane and polycarbonate polyurethane.
Claims11
A process for forming a coated textile comprising:
- a. forming an aqueous polycarbonate polyurethane dispersion, wherein the polycarbonate polyurethane dispersion comprises a plurality of polycarbonate polyurethane particles and aqueous solution, wherein the polycarbonate polyurethane particles have an average particle size of less than about 1 micron;
- b. forming an aqueous polyester polyurethane dispersion, wherein the polyester polyurethane dispersion comprises a plurality of polyester polyurethane particles and aqueous solution, wherein the polyester polyurethane particles have an average particle size less than 5 microns;
- c. mixing the polycarbonate polyurethane dispersion and the polyester polyurethane dispersion together forming a physical mixture, wherein the physical mixture contains between about 5 and 35% by weight polycarbonate polyurethane dispersion and between about 65 and 95% by weight polyester polyurethane dispersion;
- d. coating the physical mixture onto a textile substrate having an inner side and an outer side, wherein the coating at least covers one side of the textile;
- and,
- e. drying the coated textile using heat, wherein the heat dries of at least a portion of the aqueous component of the physical mixture and causes the polycarbonate polyurethane particles and polyester polyurethane particles to at least partially melt and bind to each other forming a continuous coating.
