Eco-Coating

PREMIUM WATERBORNE PU COATING

Eco-Coating is our flagship waterborne polyurethane (PU) coating, engineered to deliver toughness at the core of the fabric. Applied to the backside of the textile, it provides a high-performance alternative to traditional solvent-based coatings while eliminating harmful solvents such as DMF, MEK, and toluene from the coating process.

PolyCore’s patented application process presses Eco-Coating deep into the base cloth fibers, stabilizing them against abrasion. This creates a more durable textile that resists wear and tear, improving abrasion resistance by up to 500% compared to conventional solvent-based coatings.

Extreme Abrasion Resistance symbol.
PolyCore coatings are designed with abrasion resistance at the core; our coatings deliver performance that surpasses traditional solvent-based technologies.

Enhanced Tear Strength symbol
PolyCore coatings are reinforced with carbon nanotubes, our coatings deliver exceptional tear strength for cutting-edge performance.

Customizable Waterproofing symbol
PolyCore coatings reach over 10,000 mm hydrostatic resistance to ensure your gear stays dry.

Clean Chemistry

98% lower VOC emissions than standard solvent-based coatings and no intentionally added PFAS. PolyCore coatings are formulated to support compliance with EU REACH requirements and follow the ZDHC MRSL.

Technical Partnership

We work alongside your team to develop custom fabrics tailored to your performance goals. More than a coating supplier, we are a partner, providing a transparent portfolio and support every step of the way.

Toughness that lasts

By stabilizing fibers from the inside out, Eco-Coating prevents abrasion on the surface from penetrating through, dramatically reducing wear and tear.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Same fabric. Same number of abrasion cycles.

One key difference: Eco-Coating. The results speak for themselves. PolyCore’s Eco-Coating boosts fabric abrasion resistance by up to 500%, delivering unprecedented durability that sets a new standard for performance.
