According to an analysis carried out by the Freedonia Group [1] in 1994 the US market for coated textiles was 294 Mio/m2. This had a value of $ 2.5 billion. Most was textiles coated with PVC for use in the field of transport. The sector of protective working clothing was 10% of this quantity. This market segment had the biggest growth rate. In view of this, PVC will keep its dominant role in the market [1]. Polyester will increase further its share of the market as a textile substrate. The combination of PVC as a coating on polyester as a substrate is not expensive and fulfills all requirements.
