Silicone-coated fabrics are specially engineered fabrics manufactured through the coating of specially formulated Silicone on one or both sides of the base fabrics, such as Fiberglas, polyester, and polyamide. It offers several advantages such as high heat or flame resistance, UV or weather resistance, and chemical resistance. Silicones are the most flexible polymer. The chemical adds a functional value to the fabric by making it thermally, and chemically resistant. Silicone-coated fabrics have found widespread applications in transportation, protective clothing, industrial, furniture & seating, awnings & canopies, and other applications.

Silicones are a broad family of polymers based on silicon metal. Silicone polymers are extremely versatile and can be manufactured with preferred properties, such as rigid solid form to low viscosity liquid form, by varying the chain length and the chemical structure. The ability of silicones to be synthesized with various compositions and properties is highly preferred in various consumer and industrial applications. Silicones can vary from rubber to hard plastics and gel to liquid.
MarketsandMarkets expects the global Silicone fabrics market size to grow from USD 4.0 billion in 2021 to USD 5.5 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2021 to 2026.
The market for silicon fabric is segmented based on base fabric into fiberglass, polyester, polyamide, and other materials.
