[0002] Coating finishing is a surface finishing technology that coats a layer of high molecular compound on the surface of various fabrics to form a film, so that the front and back of the fabric can have different functions. Coating glue is a high molecular compound for coating finishing. At present, the coating glue mainly uses polyacrylate, solvent-based polyurethane and water-dispersible polyurethane. Water-based polyurethane uses water as a dispersion medium, can meet the environmental protection requirements of no volatile organic compound emission, and has the advantages of safety, non-toxicity and no pollution. However, compared with solvent-based polyurethane, water-based polyurethane generally has the disadvantages of poor water resistance, poor solvent resistance, low initial adhesion and discontinuous film formation.

[0022] (2) Waterborne polyurethane coating II is prepared, which is only different from waterborne polyurethane coating I in that self-crosslinking type silicone modified waterborne polyurethane emulsion II is used to replace self-crosslinking type silicone modified waterborne polyurethane emulsion I.

[0023] Performance test:

[0024] I. Mechanical property: the waterborne polyurethane coating is made into an elongated strip with a size of 10mm*70mm, then three test points are taken at the center of each sample to measure the thickness, and then the average value is taken, the sample is balanced for 24h under constant temperature and humidity conditions (T=20°C, RH=70%), then the breaking load value is measured on a universal material testing machine, the tensile speed is 250mm / min, and the tensile strength of the waterborne polyurethane coating is calculated according to the following formula: tensile strength (MPa)=breaking load value (N) / thickness of the film (mm) *width of the film (mm); The test results are shown in Table 1 below;
