Rubber brushed cloth: hot pressing process-double improvement of performance and appearance

In the production process of rubber brushed cloth, after the weaving or compounding is completed, a crucial step is the hot pressing process. This process not only further strengthens the fabric structure, but also significantly improves the overall performance and appearance of the product.

The hot pressing process, as the name suggests, is a dual physical and chemical treatment of fabrics through the combined action of high temperature and pressure. In this process, the fabric is placed in a specific hot-pressing equipment and is baked in a high-temperature environment. Under the action of strong pressure, the fibers inside it are more closely combined with the rubber threads. This combination not only enhances the interaction between fibers, but also makes the interface between the rubber filaments and the covering stronger, resulting in a fabric structure with better overall performance.

The improvement of the performance of rubber brushed cloth by the hot pressing process is obvious. First, the tensile strength of the fabric is significantly enhanced through heat pressing. Under the action of high temperature and pressure, the bond between the fiber and the rubber thread becomes closer, allowing the fabric to more effectively disperse stress and resist breakage when it is stretched by external forces. Secondly, hot pressing also improves the wear resistance of the fabric. The tight fiber structure reduces the contact area of ​​the wear surface and lowers the friction coefficient, thereby extending the service life of the fabric. In addition, the hot pressing process also enhances the dimensional stability of the fabric. At high temperatures, the molecular chains inside the fabric are rearranged and cross-linked to form a more stable network structure, making the fabric less likely to deform or shrink during long-term use.

In addition to significantly improving performance, the hot pressing process also gives the rubber brushed cloth a more excellent appearance and texture. Under the combined action of high temperature and pressure, the fibers and rubber threads on the surface of the fabric are compacted and smoothed, eliminating original wrinkles and unevenness. This flat and smooth surface not only improves the aesthetics of the product, but also makes the fabric easier to handle during subsequent processing (such as cutting, sewing, etc.), reducing quality problems caused by uneven surfaces.

The hot pressing process plays a vital role in the production of rubber brushed cloth. By further strengthening the fabric structure and significantly improving performance, it gives the product better performance and appearance. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous optimization of processes, the hot pressing process will continue to play its core role in the production of rubber brushed cloth in the future, promoting technological innovation and development in this field.
