The hardshell jacket is a very popular outdoor sports equipment, because of its good heating, air permeability and waterproof performance is favored. However, most of these characteristics of the hardshell jacket come from its coating. In this article, we will introduce coating processing from several aspects, including coating types, coating processes and the main role of coating.
Coating type:
The core factor of protective performance of hardshell coating processing, and different coating types can bring different effects. At present, the common types of coatings on the market include polyurethane coatings, fluorocarbon coatings and silicon coatings.
Polyurethane coating is a kind of coating widely used. The material advantages of this coating are high flexibility, good elasticity, good wear resistance and tear resistance, and good air permeability.
Fluorocarbon coating is a high-quality coating with good pollution resistance and water resistance. In addition, in a strong ultraviolet environment, its antioxidant and ultraviolet protection ability is also quite prominent.
The main advantage of silicon coating is that it is elastic and can adapt well to dynamic deformation and folding. Silicon coating has good water resistance and air tightness at the same time, so it is more common in fields such as professional riot clothing and wetsuits.
Coating process:
Coating process is a key step in coating processing. Hardshell coating processing is mainly divided into two ways, namely surface layer and inner layer coating.
Surface coating is a more common coating method, its main role is to enhance the waterproof performance and durability of the hardshell jacket. In addition, the surface coating can also help improve the breathability of the hardshell jacket, thus providing a more comfortable experience for outdoor sports.
The role of the inner coating is more diverse. For example, the inner layer of some brands of hardshell jackets uses a special coating process, which can enhance the waterproof performance while ensuring that the interior of the hardshell jacket is always dry and comfortable. In addition, hardshell coating processing can also help enhance the warm performance of hardshell clothing, thus providing better protection for outdoor sports.
Hardshell coating processing main role:
In addition to enhancing its waterproof performance and thermal performance, the coating of the hardshell jacket has many functions.
First of all, the coating can help the hardshell to enhance its protective performance and avoid adverse effects of the external environment on the human body. At the same time, the coating can also make the hardshell jacket obtain better breathability, avoiding the problem of excessive sweating in the body during intense exercise.
Second, the coating can give more functions to the hardshell jacket. For example, in some high-cold areas, some brands of hardshell jackets have better cold resistance through coating processing, which can provide better protection for users in extreme environments.
Finally, the choice of coating and the adjustment of coating process can also help improve the overall performance of the jacket. Choosing the right type of coating and process can help the hardshell to enhance its elasticity and durability, thereby extending its service life.
In short, coating processing is one of the main factors that can provide stable protection in harsh natural environments. The correct selection and application of coating technology can further improve the performance of the hardshell jacket, and also provide better protection for the human body.
