TEXTILE
Our textile customers rely on our water- and solvent-borne urethanes to coat a variety of substrates including nylon, polyester, and poly-cotton blends to produce fabrics that are fire retardant, breathable, water proof, and scuff resistant. These fabrics find use in applications such as golf apparel, soft-sided luggage, backpacks, and tents.
AUTOMOTIVE
We have worked with the automotive industry for over a decade developing specialty products to solve tough problems. Our water-borne urethane adhesives offer an environmentally friendly alternative for laminating polyethylene foam to vinyl and TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) substrates for use in automotive interiors. In addition, we produce water- and solvent-borne top coats for interior applications such as dashboards and door panels.
PBDE-FREE FIRE RETARDANT COATING
We offer a “California compliant” PBDE- (polybrominated diphenyl ether) free solvent-based fire retardant urethane coating used in the manufacture of outdoor apparel, mattress covers, and tents.
AIR HOLDING DEVICES
Worthen Performance Coatings & Adhesives also provides solution urethane adhesives for laminating urethane film to nylon fabric for use in air holding devices such as life jackets, air mattresses, and life rafts.
