The comprehensive performance of TPU Coated Polyester Curtain Fabric in terms of water resistance, breathability and stain resistance:
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) coating can significantly improve the water resistance of polyester curtain fabrics. TPU itself has strong waterproof performance, and its coating can effectively prevent moisture penetration, thereby enhancing the waterproof function of the curtain. When faced with rain or moisture, the TPU coating can provide good water isolation, keeping the curtains dry and unaffected by moisture. Therefore, this coated fabric is very suitable for applications such as outdoor curtains, awnings, bathroom curtains, etc. where waterproofing is required.
TPU coatings can usually maintain a certain degree of breathability, but their breathability is usually not as good as pure polyester fabrics. TPU coating is a non-porous material, which means that it is not naturally breathable. However, due to the advancement of modern technology, many TPU coating technologies can be designed through tiny pores or membranes, so that while the fabric is waterproof, it can still allow air and water vapor to pass through, maintaining a certain degree of breathability. For curtain fabrics, this breathability is very important, especially in places where waterproofing is required without affecting indoor air circulation.
Note: Although TPU coating performs better in terms of breathability, the balance between its waterproofness and breathability needs to be adjusted through appropriate coating thickness and technology. A coating that is too heavy will significantly reduce breathability, so the best compromise between waterproofing and breathability needs to be considered in practical applications.
TPU coating can also effectively improve the stain resistance of polyester fabrics. Since the surface of TPU has strong hydrophobicity and stain resistance, stains are not easy to adhere to the coating surface, which makes the curtain fabric easier to clean and maintain. Stains usually bead up on the surface of the coating and can be easily wiped off or washed with water. Therefore, TPU coating can effectively reduce the dust, oil or water stains accumulated on curtains due to daily use, especially in kitchens or high-traffic areas that are prone to staining.
In addition, the TPU coating also has certain anti-ultraviolet (UV) function, which can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the fabric and reduce fading and fragility caused by sun exposure, thereby keeping the curtains clean and beautiful for a longer period of time.
TPU-coated polyester curtain fabric provides balanced performance in terms of water resistance, breathability and stain resistance:
Water resistance: Excellent waterproof performance, suitable for outdoor and humid environments.
Breathability: A certain degree of breathability can be maintained through advanced technology, but it may be slightly reduced compared to pure polyester fabrics.
Anti-fouling: Because the surface is highly hydrophobic, it can effectively prevent stains from adhering and is easy to clean and maintain.
Taken together, TPU coating can significantly improve the performance of polyester curtain fabrics in harsh environments, especially in situations where waterproofing, stain resistance and a certain degree of breathability are required.
