World leader country in technical textiles is Germany. The turnover of German manufacturers from technical textiles is approximately $ 13 billion per year. For technical textiles, despite the emergence of many different innovations in both textile texture formation and material and application technologies, the most used and most important production method to obtain functional products is still “coating”. It is thought that there will be great innovations in the following traditional and new production methods in the future. Coating and Lamination: Powering the composite technology Digital Printing: Promising for more innovative, ecological and efficient production opportunities. Embroidery: Processing smart textiles is an important process for digital textiles.
Methods Where Coating Material Is Liquid
 
Blade coating systems
Cylindrical coating systems
Dip coating
Transfer coating
Coating with rotation printing technique
Spray coating systems
 
 
 

WHY IS COATING AN IMPORTANT FORM OF PRODUCTION?

Thanks to the possibilities specified in the description, they offer designers wide possibilities to create multifunctional new textile surfaces. The coating consists of various textile surfaces (woven, knitted, nonwoven), the transfer of chemicals in liquid, paste or powder form according to the desired effect on one or both sides of the ground fabric to the fabric in transfer forms such as powder, paste, foam and thus a film layer on the fabric. It is a textile finishing process performed in the form of creation. The first coated fabrics are fabrics whose permeability rates are restricted to a certain extent by transferring substances such as oil and wax on the fabric in order to be protected from external factors such as bad weather conditions. In textile, in today’s conditions, it is essential that performance is not only provided but also permanent. Coating methods can be grouped under three general headings according to the shape of the material.

New developments and potentials in production techniques:

Rapid developments in 3D weaving / knitting systems and composite technology (mesh or sandwich structure).
Seamless weaving technology such as seamless knitting (Seamless air cushion, conveyor belt, etc.).
The expansion of new digital printing techniques into areas such as coating, finishing, and 3D printing other than painting.
Embroidery will be used in the production of digital textiles (Smart Textiles).
It is predicted that machines and processes will become increasingly digital in the Industry 4.0 concept, production will be more efficient, quality and provide near zero waste opportunities.
