Selecting the Right Coating Substrate

TORO presents a diverse range of substrates, allowing for countless opportunities to skillfully match material characteristics with the specific requirements of customers' applications. Depending on the desired performance attributes for a particular use, our substrates can be crafted through knitting, weaving, or non-woven techniques.

Here is the list of commonly used substrates for coating.

Cotton:

•     Natural cellulosic fiber exhibits good abrasion resistance.
•     It demonstrates good adhesion to rubber compounds.
•     It possesses excellent resistance to alkalis, although it degrades when exposed to hot acids.
•     The fiber remains resistant to melting even at high temperatures.

Polyester:

•     This multifunctional synthetic fiber has the ability to absorb oil and grease.
•     It exhibits excellent abrasion resistance.
•     The fiber is resistant to various chemicals.
•     It does not absorb water.
•     At high temperatures, the fiber has a melting point.
•     It is resistant to stretching.
•     The fiber does not shrink easily.
•     It is RF weldable, allowing for radio frequency welding.
•     The synthetic fiber is known for its strength.

Nylon: 

•     The synthetic fiber is highly abrasion-resistant.
•     It has the capability to absorb oil and grease.
•     The fiber does not absorb water.
•     It possesses elastic properties.
•     It is resistant to staining.
•     The fiber has a melting point at high temperatures.
•     It can be RF welded, allowing for radio frequency welding. 

Rayon:

•     The fiber is marketed and sold as artificial silk, offering high absorbency.
•     However, a drawback is that it experiences a loss of strength when exposed to moisture.
•     It demonstrates poor resistance to abrasion and tends to be more expensive than other materials.
•     Additionally, it has a higher tendency to stretch and shrink compared to cotton.

Aramid:

•     The fiber exhibits a high strength-to-weight ratio, along with high tenacity and modulus.
•     It has low elongation and creep properties.
•     The fiber demonstrates good abrasion resistance.
•     It does not have a specific melting point, but is resistant to degradation and shows low flammability.
•     The fiber is non-conductive.
•     It is resistant to organic solvents but is sensitive to acids, salts, and UV radiation.

 Glass:

•     The fiber possesses a high tensile strength and exhibits excellent resistance to heat and flame.
•     It acts as an electric insulator.
•     The fiber does not absorb water and demonstrates resistance to acid and other chemical agents.
