The fabric of heavy-duty tents is usually made of high-density and high-strength materials to ensure durability and protective performance. The following are common types and characteristics:
Oxford cloth
Material: Polyester or nylon substrate, interwoven with warp and weft, coated with polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride on the surface.
Features: The static water pressure value can reach over 3000 millimeters, with strong tear resistance, suitable for medium to heavy rain environments. The thickness is usually above 600D (density), and the weight is relatively light, but attention should be paid to poor breathability.
polyester fabric
Material: High density polyester fiber, surface treated with waterproof coating.
Features: Lightweight, wear-resistant, stretch resistant, fast drying speed, but weak insulation. It needs to be used with insulation layer.
PVC coated cloth
Material: Polyester or fiberglass base fabric, covered with polyvinyl chloride coating on the surface.
Features: Fully waterproof, high tear resistance, suitable for long-term fixed construction. Thickness 0.6-1.2mm, requires ventilation system coordination.
Polyester cotton blended canvas
Material: Cotton and polyester blend, surface treated with wax printing or waterproof coating.
Features: Good breathability, adjustable humidity, but pure cotton is prone to mold. Blended technology enhances durability.
Functional coating
Types: Polyurethane (flexible waterproof), Silicone (weather resistant), Fluorocarbon (anti fouling).
Features: Enhance waterproof, UV resistant or self-cleaning performance, double-layer coating is more durable.
selection suggestion
Rainy environment: prioritize waterproof performance (such as PVC or high-density Oxford cloth).
Frequent movement: Lightweight materials such as nylon or polyester.
Regions with large temperature differences: need to balance waterproofing and breathability (such as double-layer composite structures)
