Abstract: A laminate for use in a process for strengthening a selected area of a raw textile or manufactured textile product to enhance properties and performance. The process comprising the steps of applying a laminate trimmed to match the selected. area, then placed on the textile and heated in a hot press. The laminate can be comprised of a polymer film and a nonsolvent adhesive. The polymer film can be tailored from a blend of hard acrylic and tough poly-urethane to adjust for rigidity and strength. The adhesive can he a hot melt or pressure sensitive types as well as any type that provides a secure adhesion.

Abstract: A process for coating a front and back surface of an industrial textile to increase its abrasion resistance is disclosed. The coating process comprises the steps of coating the textile with a coating compound, heating coated textile at a temperature of 120 degree Celsius and drying the coated textile for 60 seconds. Two passes of coating is applied for the process wherein the viscosity for first pass of coating is 21000 centipoise and the viscosity for second pass of coating is 12000 centipoise. On completion of the coating process, the coated textile is treated with a water repellent agent. The coating compounds used for the process are comprised of formulations including two polyurethane compositions, which are mixed with a methyl ethyl ketone solvent, and the water repellent agent is silicone. The overall process requires a curing time of 2 minutes with a curing agent.
