What is the difference between coating and lamination?
Coating applies a liquid polymer directly to the fabric surface. Lamination bonds a pre-formed film to the fabric using heat and pressure. Lamination generally provides better durability and waterproofness.
What hydrostatic head rating is considered waterproof?
Fabrics with 5000mm+ hydrostatic head per AATCC 127 are considered waterproof. Seekingtex coated fabrics range from 5000mm to 30000mm depending on the coating type and application.
