<p>Coating is highly essential for improving the functionality and extending the lifespan of textiles. Applying polymer coatings to fabrics introduces or enhances functional properties, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including geotextiles, construction, apparel, medical products, protective materials, home furnishings, sports, industrial uses, and packaging. Among the various polymers used for textile coatings, natural rubber latex (NRL) is identified as an eco-friendly material. Recently, the addition of micro or nanofillers and polymers to NRL has garnered significant attention, as it introduces new functionalities to the textiles, expanding their potential applications across numerous industries. This mini-review delves into the advancements of NRL coated textiles and their properties with special emphasis on the importance of NRL coatings. The review further explores their applications across various fields such as protective coatings, medical textiles, oil-water separation, electromagnetic interference shielding, and waterproof materials.</p>
