A specialist in coated fabrics near Le Mans, LACOTE offers tailor-made PVC coating formulations to meet its customers’ specific requirements. Our PVC coating experts have developed combinations of textile substrates and coating formulas adapted to the needs of each application, taking into account technical performance criteria (flexibility, mechanical resistance, fire-resistant properties anti-static, printability…) and aesthetics (color, finish…).
Depending on your needs, we can also produce acrylic or polyurethane coatings.
The benefits of coated fabrics
Coating gives textiles a wide range of advantageous properties, including:
– Waterproofing and airtightness;
– Protection against staining;
– Resistance to external agents (oils, greases, acids and most chemicals);
– Durability (improved dimensional stability and abrasion resistance);
– Ease of cleaning.
Whether you’re looking to protect your products, enhance their aesthetics or extend their lifespan, PVC coating offers a particularly versatile and effective solution. In fact, PVC-coated fabrics can be easily welded using high-frequency or hot-air welding, which considerably reduces manufacturing costs compared to sewing.
Backed by solid expertise and proven experience in custom fabric coating, we offer you tailor-made solutions: we define the product best suited to the needs of your application, and then manufacture it.
Numerous customers in the industrial, medical, aeronautical and military fields trust us for their needs in coated technical textiles, so let us know about your projects!
Our production equipment is designed to be highly flexible and adaptable. This means we can guarantee quality production in small quantities, with rapid delivery.
A strong commitment to quality, health and the environment
For many years, LACOTE has been engaged in an uncompromising selection of raw materials and coating formulas to ensure product quality as well as the protection of users and the environment:
– Phthalate plasticizers, still widely used in PVC production, have been totally banned from our formulas since 2010;
– Our flame-retardant PVC-coated fabrics are also free from antimony trioxide, a suspected carcinogenic additive, still used in many competing products for its high flame-retardant efficacy;
– We do not use fluorinated PFAS products (also known as “eternal pollutants”) for water repellency and waterproofing. These key properties of coated fabrics are achieved by careful selection of the type of coating, and the result is also much more durable;
– All our products comply with REACH regulations (free of substances of very high concern [SVHC] substances at more than 0.1%), for maximum safety in use.
Our dedicated team of skilled professionals is here to support you at every step, from initial consultation to final delivery, to ensure your complete satisfaction.
