CFS has been used for coating, finishing, pigmenting, and moisturizing a wide variety of substrates. Its unique ability to precisely control add-ons and penetrations improves upon pads, vacuum systems, sprays, kiss rolls, print screens, knife coaters, and other wet finishing techniques. A few examples of its flexibility are shown here:
- Latex application to nonwoven
- Latex coating on back and fluorochemical treatment on face of upholstery material
- Latex coating on drapery fabric
- Deep, one-sided penetration of binder into trunk liner material, providing a moldable product with a soft outer surface
- Binder applied completely through filter material
- One-sided resin finishing of apparel fabric
- Yarn treatment in slashing application
- Hydrophylic treatment of fiber material
- Pigmented surface coating on both sides of nonwoven
