Abstract
A method of making a polymer coated industrial fabric is disclosed. The method comprises urging a polymer film coated release sheet towards a textile substrate, curing the polymer and removing the release sheet. The polymer coating is reticular, comprising a network of two dimensional pores thus providing permeability.
Claims19
A method of making an industrial fabric including the steps of providing a textile substrate, providing a film forming polymer affixed to a release sheet, applying said polymer to a surface of the base cloth, curing the polymer and removing the release sheet so as to provide an industrial fabric having a textile substrate, at least one surface of which is coated with the film forming polymer, wherein the polymer coating is reticular.
A method of making an industrial fabric including the steps of providing a textile substrate, providing a film forming polymer affixed to a release sheet, applying said polymer to a surface of the textile substrate, curing the polymer and removing the release sheet so as to provide an industrial fabric having a textile substrate, at least one surface of which is coated with the film forming polymer, wherein the polymer coating is reticular, and wherein the polymer comprises a member selected from the group consisting of:
- an epoxy resin, a plastisol and an aqueous polyurethane system.
A method of making an industrial fabric including the steps of providing a textile substrate, providing a film forming polymer affixed to a release sheet, applying said polymer to a surface of the textile substrate, curing the polymer and removing the release sheet so as to provide an industrial fabric having a textile substrate, at least one surface of which is coated with the film forming polymer, wherein the polymer coating is reticular and wherein the release sheet comprises a member selected from the group consisting of:
- silicone release paper, aluminum foil, polyethylene and PTFE-coated non-woven fabric.
An industrial fabric comprising:
- a textile substrate, and
- a film forming polymer coating a surface of said textile substrate, the polymer applied to the surface of said textile substrate by applying a polymer affixed to a release sheet to the surface of the textile substrate, curing the polymer and removing the release sheet, wherein the polymer coating is reticular.
