Direct coated textile/”Floating Knife” coated textile

When using the direct coated textile method, “the liquid coated textile is applied to the fabric while being run at tension under a floating knife blade, the distance between the fabric and the knife blade determines the thickness of the coated textile.”

The person coated textile can adjust the angle of the blade and manipulate it so that the coverage is varied. For best results, the liquid coated textile should be gelatinous as to stop it from absorbing through the fabric. After this, the coated textile needs to be dried.

This coated textile method is most appropriate for filament yarns because the staple fibers in spun yarns have the possibility of extending beyond the surface. This would cause an asymmetrical finish.

Direct Roll Coated Textile

In this process, the liquid coated textile is rolled onto the fabric using a roller that is “suspended in the coated textile solution.” To prevent an overabundance of the coated textile solution, people often place a blade close to the roller.
