Abstract
Use of coated fabrics in manufacture of protective covers,storage systems, agriculture coverings and pond linings has a long history. Theproducts mainly categorized as PVC coated fabrics, PU coated fabrics, acrylicpolymer coated fabric, wax coated fabrics (canvas) and rubber-coated fabrics.The common usage of coated fabrics are for example (i) Tarpaulins (ii) Vehiclecovers or truck tarpaulins (iii) Tents (iv) Agriculture coverings andfumigation sheets (v) Awnings (vi) Canopies, Tents, Covers etc. In all thetypes of coated fabrics, fabric component impart desired mechanical property,i.e. breaking strength, tearing strength, bursting strength, dimensionalstability etc. The future is poised for domination of thermoplastic polyolefin(TPO) in engineering polymer applications.
