Coated fabric is a flexible composite material formed by applying coating
agents to either one side or both sides of the fabric substate. After the
coating it is oven cured creating an interphase between them. Interphase is
a mixture formed when the coating agent penetrates into the fabric substate.The final product after coating and interphasing is solid and flexible. It has a good stability of viscosity. It is washable, flame retardant and is much stronger than uncoated fabrics. The surface can be finished with a specific texture such as leather, or it is left smooth with no texture at all. It is sometimes also embossed in imitation of leather.
