BACKGROUND
[002] The embroidery industry has undergone many changes in terms of techniques, designs, applications, and efforts put in by craftsman. To bring in a new wave of easy and friendly art, there is a scope to introduce a unique way of beautifying fabrics. The idea is to replace embroidery or decorative stitches made with a thread with an easy-to-use and Do It Yourself (DIY) product. A liquid based coating composition to be used on all kinds of fabrics like Cotton, Tericot, Poplin, Chiffon, Polyester, and Georgette instead of decorative stitches is required. The ideal requirement is to have a unique polymer coating composition with zero tack after drying and not affected by repeated washing. The coating composition should also be suitable for application on surfaces like wood, terracotta, leather, vinyl, composites, and other similar surfaces as well.
[003] The coating composition present in the art, after application on the surface, and further after usage do not give an aesthetic appeal for longer duration. In prior art, the fabric applied with coating composition, when stacked, the coating composition may get peel off due to lack of adhesive and cohesive strength of the coating composition. Hence, an improved coating composition with optimum adhesive and cohesive strength to provide a tack free application is required.
