Provided is a method for producing a fabric substrate molded product coated with silicone rubber, wherein the adherence of dust, flashes during molding, and foreign matter is prevented because the obtained cured coating film has surface lubricity, and breaking and cracking do not occur when the fabric substrate is deformed because the obtained cured coating film has elongation. This method for producing a fabric substrate molded product coated with silicone rubber, in which method the surface of the fabric substrate is coated with a first coating layer and a second coating layer by forming a first coating layer, which comprises a cured product of a liquid silicone rubber composition, on at least one surface of the fabric substrate, and then forming a second coating layer, which comprises a cured product of a silicone rubber composition, on the outer surface of the first coating layer, is characterized in that the first coating layer is a cured product of a liquid silicone rubber composition that contains an adhesiveness-conferring component, and the second coating layer is a cured product of a silicone rubber composition that contains a silicone resin.

Coated nonwoven fabric comprising a nonwoven fabric layer and a coating, said coating comprises a polymer having a branching index g of equal or below 0.9.

The present disclosure relates to a silicone elastomeric coating composition for synthetic leather, particularly silicone-based synthetic leather, a silicone elastomeric coating (e.g., a topcoat) formed as a reaction product of the cure of the coating composition, methods of making the topcoat and synthetic leather utilizing the same and uses of synthetic leather products. The topcoat is designed to provide synthetic leather with an improved abrasion and scratch resistant topcoat.

A method for forming an antislip material. A flexible thermoplastic carrier is provided. A hot release surface is provided. Provided is a first layer of discrete thermoplastic particles, sifting on the hot release surface. The discrete particles are above their softening temperatures, providing in the first layer a tackiness. The method includes contacting the carrier with the tacky first layer for sticking the first layer to the carrier, and thereafter removing the carrier, and therewith the tacky first layer stuck to the carrier, from the release surface. Thereby the carrier is provided with a hot, preferably discontinuous and/or elastomeric antislip coating. With a heat energy of the hot coating a bond is formed between the carrier and the coating. The removing of the carrier includes pulling the carrier out of the contact with a pulling-out force. The temperature of the hot release surface is above the melting temperature of the carrier. The carrier would be spoiled, if heated completely to the temperature of the release surface and simultaneously pulled with the pulling-out force. Therefore the contacting time is kept shorter than a minimum time required by a heat of the hot release surface for spoiling the carrier. Flat-topped roughening projections can be included in the antislip coating.

A foamed, opacifying element has a porous substrate composed of woven yarn strands composed of a thermoplastic polymer-coated multifilament core. It has a dry foamed composition on an opposing surface of the substrate, which includes: (a) 0.1-40 weight % of porous particles; (b) 10-80 weight %; (c) 0.2-50 weight % of one or more additives selected from the group consisting of dispersants, plasticizers, flame retardants, optical brighteners, thickeners, biocides, fungicides, tinting colorants, metal flakes, and inert inorganic or organic fillers; (d) less than 5 weight % of water; and (e) at least 0.002 weight % of an opacifying colorant different from all of the one or more additives of (c), which opacifying colorant absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of 380-800 nm. The elements have a light-blocking value (LBV) of at least 4 and can have a bending stiffness that is greater than 0.15 milliNewtons-meter.
