| Abstract | ||||
| When it comes to the area of textile finishing applications, polyurethanes are practically a wonder material. They blend the suppleness of rubbers with the hardness and stiffness of metals and plastics. Polyurethane has become the standard material for many applications due to this combination of material properties and qualities. It has been used in a variety of industries, including the bio-medical sector, marine industry, elastomers, foams, textiles, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and adhesives. A variety of polyols and isocyanates can be used to create polyurethanes, To create high-performance products, water-borne urethanes have replaced solvent-based urethanes in a variety of finishing applications for textiles. As a result, PU has significantly advanced the field of functional textiles due to its low cost, capacity for mass production, and intriguing physicochemical characteristics. The PU-coated fabrics are extremely electrically and adhesively strong, more resistant to abrasion and weather, and highly resistant to chemicals and water. | ||||
