The Performance Coatings and Adhesives Group of Worthen Industries serves
the automotive, textile, and related industries by providing superior adhesive
systems utilizing water- and solvent-borne urethanes and acrylics for coating
and laminating nylon and polyester fabrics for a variety of industrial, commercial,
and apparel applications.
We recently developed 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.
We possess extensive compounding and polymerization capabilities,
and we offer toll and contract manufacturing services to a variety of industries.
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.
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. We recently developed 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. The Performance Coatings
and Adhesives Group 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. We also manufacture acrylic and urethane coatings
