From the material itself, polyurethane (PU) is a polymer compound with excellent elasticity and softness. When PU is evenly coated on the surface of the fabric as a coating material, it can fill the gaps between the fibers of the fabric, increase the overall thickness and density of the fabric, and make the hand feel fuller.
The production process of PU coated fabric also has an important impact on its feel. During the production process, coating agents need to be precisely proportioned and mixed to ensure the uniformity and stability of the coating. At the same time, the coating process needs to control the thickness and uniformity of the coating. A coating that is too thick or too thin may affect the feel. In addition, the drying and curing process after coating also needs to be precisely controlled to ensure that the coating is tightly bonded with the fabric to create a soft and elastic feel.
The plump feel of PU coated fabric is also related to its surface treatment method. During the production process, some surface treatment techniques, such as calendering, sanding, etc., may be used to further enhance its feel and appearance.
It should be noted that hand feel is a subjective feeling, and different people may have different definitions and preferences for full hand feel. Therefore, in the actual production process, manufacturers may fine-tune the feel of PU coated fabric according to market demand and consumer preferences to meet the needs of different consumers.
These factors together ensure that the PU coated fabric has a soft, plump and elastic feel, thereby improving its comfort and satisfaction during use.
