Breathable and water-repellent coating
Our breathable and water-repellent coating is a single-layer polyurethane (PU) coating.
It offers a balance between water protection and breathability, making it ideal for applications where both ventilation and protection are required.
Single-layer PU coating refers to a single layer of polyurethane applied directly to the surface. This coating is easy to apply and provides strong protection without the need for multiple layers, making it cost-efficient and quick to process.
Breathable coating
As the name suggests, a breathable coating allows air to pass through while protecting the surface itself. This means the material is airy, which is essential where ventilation or moisture management is important, such as in medical, textile, or sports applications.
What it does:
Ventilation: A breathable coating prevents moisture from being trapped underneath by allowing air to flow. This helps prevent mold or condensation buildup.
Comfort: Thanks to its breathable properties, the material remains more comfortable in use, for example in clothing or mattresses, where it helps to dissipate heat and sweat.
Protection: A breathable coating still provides protection against environmental factors such as water or dirt, without the risk of trapped moisture.
Water-repellent coating
A water-repellent coating is one that prevents water from easily penetrating the object. This coating creates a barrier that keeps water out. It is commonly used to protect materials from water damage such as rust, stains, or weakening caused by moisture.
What it does:
Water protection: A water-repellent coating reduces water penetration instead of absorbing it into the material. This makes it useful for applications in damp environments or outdoor use.
Durability: Using a water-repellent coating helps extend the lifespan of a material by preventing water damage or weakening.
Enhanced comfort: For clothing or mattresses, the water-repellent coating keeps the material dry and prevents it from becoming soaked.
Breathable and water-repellent coatings in the medical sector
In the medical sector, both breathable and water-repellent coatings are highly important due to the useful characteristics of these products. Their ability to provide comfort, hygiene, and protection is essential in medical applications.
Breathable coating in the medical sector
A breathable coating is used for various medical applications such as wound dressings, incontinence materials, and medical clothing. It ensures the material remains breathable, allowing air circulation and preventing moisture buildup. This is crucial to avoid the growth of mold or bacteria, which can lead to infections.
Water-repellent coating in the medical sector
A water-repellent coating is used for medical products that come into contact with moisture or fluids, such as medical covers or protective clothing. Our coating prevents water or other liquids from penetrating, keeping medical materials dry and hygienic. This is important for infection control, as water and other fluids often carry bacteria or viruses. The water-repellent coating also helps extend the lifespan of medical products by preventing moisture damage.
