Unlike traditional chemical finishes, during which chemical treatments infiltrate the substrate's fibers, the coating facilitated by these devices produces a chemical layer in the spaces between the fibers; this coating produces a new chemical structure to strengthen textile materials and promote increased corrosion, thermal, and abrasion resistance. Depending on the type of substrate being coated, these devices can incorporate interroller pressure, knife-spread, dip, spray, powder, extrusion, or UV-cured coating technologies. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
