Textile Coating, Finishing & Lamination 

Performance that moves, stretches and lasts

Textile treatment technologies engineered to transform fabrics into high-performance materials. From coating and finishing to lamination, these solutions support technical textiles used across sports, automotive, homecare and advanced functional applications

Engineered Surfaces for Advanced Textiles

Textile coating and finishing technologies enhance fabric performance beyond its original structure, enabling properties such as water repellency, abrasion resistance, softness, breathability and protective barrier functions. These processes improve durability, surface consistency and aesthetic quality, allowing textiles to meet precise technical, regulatory and end-use requirements across diverse industrial sectors.
Technical textiles present complex formulation and processing challenges. A comprehensive portfolio of binders, rheology modifiers and dispersants has been developed to work in synergy, providing textile manufacturers and formulators with the flexibility to precisely tune performance without compromising process efficiency.
Sustainability is integrated into the platform. As a bluesign® system partner, a broad range of bluesign® approved products supports certified and responsible textile production while maintaining the performance standards required in demanding applications.

Engineered Bonds for Laminated Textiles

In laminated textile structures, the adhesive layer is a key performance driver. It must ensure durable bonding between fabrics and functional substrates while maintaining resistance to mechanical stress, ageing and repeated washing under real use conditions.

For highly demanding applications, Esacote® SB solvent-based polyurethane systems are used in tie-coat and transfer coating processes, delivering enhanced adhesion, film cohesion and process robustness. These technologies support lamination systems requiring elevated mechanical performance and long-term durability.
