Matte PU coated Oxford cloth: technical integration of water-based PU and matte process

In the continuous evolution of textile material technology, matte PU coated Oxford cloth has become the preferred material in many fields with its unique charm and excellent performance. Its success lies not only in the toughness and durability of the Oxford cloth substrate, but also in the perfect combination of water-based PU coating and matte treatment process.

In the production of matte PU coated Oxford cloth, the use of water-based PU coating is a highlight of technological innovation. Compared with traditional solvent-based PU, water-based PU uses water as a solvent, which greatly reduces the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the production process, meeting the increasingly stringent environmental regulations around the world. At the same time, through continuous optimization of formulas and processes, water-based PU maintains good environmental performance while also showing waterproof and breathable performance comparable to solvent-based PU.

The water-based PU coating can fit the Oxford cloth substrate tightly to form a uniform and dense film, effectively blocking moisture penetration while maintaining air circulation, achieving the dual effects of waterproof and breathable. This feature makes matte PU coated Oxford cloth have broad application prospects in outdoor equipment, fashion bags and other fields.

In addition to the environmental protection and performance advantages brought by the water-based PU coating, the matte treatment process adds a unique charm to the matte PU coated Oxford cloth. Through the special matte treatment process, the surface of the water-based PU coating can form a subtle concave-convex structure or scattering layer to achieve diffuse reflection of light, thus presenting a natural and soft matte effect.

This matte effect not only enhances the visual beauty of the product, making it more in line with modern aesthetic trends, but also further enhances the wear resistance, scratch resistance and anti-aging properties of the fabric. The matte surface reduces the reflection phenomenon under direct light and reduces the risk of local wear and aging caused by light focusing. At the same time, the subtle concave-convex structure also increases the friction between the coating and the substrate, improving the scratch resistance of the fabric.

The production process of matte PU coated Oxford cloth is a complex and delicate process that requires strict control of every production link. From the selection and pretreatment of the Oxford cloth substrate, to the preparation and coating of the water-based PU coating, to the matte treatment and curing molding, each step must follow strict operating specifications and process parameters.

During the coating preparation process, the formula and viscosity of the water-based PU coating need to be adjusted according to product requirements and environmental protection requirements to ensure that the coating can be evenly and stably attached to the substrate. During the coating process, advanced coating equipment and technology need to be used to ensure uniform coating thickness, no missing coating, no bubbles and other defects. In the matte treatment process, it is necessary to select appropriate treatment methods and process parameters according to the required matte effect to obtain ideal visual effects and physical properties.

Finally, during the curing and molding process, the curing conditions such as temperature and time need to be strictly controlled to ensure that the coating can be fully cured and tightly combined with the substrate. At the same time, necessary post-processing procedures such as trimming, cutting, and inspection are also required to ensure the final quality of the product.

The successful production of matte PU coated Oxford cloth is inseparable from the perfect combination of water-based PU coating and matte treatment process. This technical fusion not only retains the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric, but also enhances the visual beauty and physical properties of the product through a special matte treatment process. With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the increasing diversification of consumer demand, matte PU coated Oxford cloth will show its unique charm and value in more fields. In the future, with the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, the production process of matte PU coated Oxford cloth will be more perfect and the product performance will be more excellent, bringing more surprises and possibilities to the textile industry.
