RTV-Based FR Silicone Coating for Technical Textiles — Knife-Over-Roll Application

ArtiumChemi's RTV-based silicone coating system is formulated for knife-over-roll (blade coating) processes. With just a single coating pass, the fabric achieves significant flame retardant performance — making it one of the most efficient FR coating solutions available for technical textile applications.

How It Works

The RTV silicone elastomer is applied directly onto the textile substrate in a single layer via a knife-over-roll coating line. The coated fabric is then cured in a stenter (rama) at 120°C in approximately 90 seconds on a conveyor — significantly lower temperatures and faster cure times compared to conventional water-based or solvent-based FR coating systems. This translates directly into lower energy consumption and higher production throughput on existing finishing lines.

Key Benefits

-Single-Pass FR Performance: Just one coating application delivers substantial and reliable flame retardancy across the fabric surface.
-Low-Temperature, Fast Curing: Cures at just 120°C in ~90 seconds in a stenter — far more energy-efficient than water or solvent-based alternatives.
-No Water or Solvent Evaporation: Unlike aqueous or solvent systems, no evaporation step is needed, reducing drying energy and eliminating VOC emissions.
-Strong Substrate Adhesion: Excellent bonding to woven, nonwoven, and knitted substrates without the need for primers.
-High Temperature Resistance: The silicone matrix maintains its integrity even under prolonged thermal exposure.
-Chemical Resistance: Coated fabrics show strong resistance to oils, solvents, and industrial fluids.
-UV & Weathering Resistance: Suitable for outdoor and demanding environmental conditions.
-Wash Durability: FR performance is retained after repeated industrial laundering cycles.
