If you’ve ever worn anything water-repellent, absorbent, flame retardant or odour free, it’s possible it’s had a coating applied to it. The Innovative Manufacturing CRC is co-funding a project to adapt newly-discovered coating technologies from the lab for the textile production line that will make the coating process more efficient and the coatings more durable.
