Substrate identity
Record fiber type, weave or knit, desired hand, and whether the coating is meant as a face film, back coat or both. Write CAS and grade when the chemistry is already known.
FABRIC COATING WORKSHEET
Protective coating supplier for fabric matching on one quotation worksheet
Use this worksheet when a textile converter needs a face film or back coat quoted on one chemical basis. Factories must answer substrate, resin system, solids, viscosity, color, flexibility questions, package net weight, Incoterm, sample size and the document set. Protective Coating Supplier Sourcing compares returned answers; it does not certify a mill or a coating line.
FIELDS TO ALIGN
Requirement cards used before a fabric coating factory is contacted
Converters often receive numbers that mix solids methods, weave constructions or freight exclusions. Keep those gaps on the card set before outreach. The cards are check items, not proof that a mill already holds ISO, REACH or TSCA status.
Measurable limits
Capture solids content, viscosity, color, cure schedule and coverage as buyer limits or as open fields for the factory to complete with method names and temperatures.
Lot evidence
Ask for the current safety data sheet, technical data sheet and certificate of analysis format for the quoted article, not a sister textile grade.
Delivered scope
Name quantity unit, repeating forecast versus trial, US destination, Incoterm and whether freight, duty or packing is inside the number.
Optional budget should state currency and whether the figure is per kilogram, per liter, per drum or for the whole order. High-end, mid-range, budget or undecided is a buyer preference about cost, surface and service, not a rating we have verified.
SDS · TDS · COA
Document questions that stop related fabric-coating files from entering the comparison
Safety data sheet
Ask for the SDS that names the same solids, resin family and physical form as the quoted pail. Textile-line handling, curing and spray settings stay with the converter’s qualified staff; this desk only flags a mismatched file.
Technical data sheet
Record which methods sit behind solids, viscosity, peel, flex or coverage. If a mill sends a family range with no temperature, the cell stays open instead of being treated as a fabric-grade result.
Certificate of analysis
Confirm whether assay, solids, color, viscosity and moisture will appear as typical values or as lot columns after the first production drum is packed.
Regulatory status questions
TSCA inventory answers for US inbound lots, REACH statements where a mill claims them, and ISO quality-system papers remain mill questions. They are not papers held by this sourcing desk.
