There are quite a lot of Oxford fabric specifications for outdoor tents. Let’s briefly introduce a few conventional fabrics.
420D Oxford cloth: woven by 420D warp and weft yarn plain weave machine. It is resistant to folding, anti-aging, has high color fastness, does not fade or shrink, and can also be made double-sided waterproof and dustproof. It is suitable for making large umbrellas, awnings, and tents. After finishing, an additional water-repellent process is added, which is suitable for tent fabrics, such as Awnings, advertising umbrellas, tricycle canopies and other outdoor products.
210D Oxford cloth: waterproof coated PU Oxford cloth, 3000 Pa water pressure, waterproof and rainproof. PU coating, that is, polyurethane coating, makes the fabric feel plump, elastic, and filmy on the surface. It is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, soft, and does not tear. Even in the hot summer, you are not afraid of strong ultraviolet radiation. As a tent fabric, it is lightweight and suitable for hikers.
Waterproof Oxford cloth: Oxford cloth itself does not have waterproof effect. It only has the function of adding waterproofing agent after post-processing. Waterproof, moisture-permeable, breathable, windproof, and warm are the main functions of waterproof Oxford cloth. When a good waterproof Oxford cloth encounters rain, the water droplets will slide down. If the water is on the surface, you only need to gently wipe the traces of water droplets on the surface, and it will not penetrate into the interior. The waterproof Oxford cloth with low requirements is: when it encounters rain, some of the rain will penetrate inside, but there will be no water droplets, but its lifespan will not be long.
Summary: 420D Oxford cloth and 210D Oxford cloth must be waterproof Oxford cloth as tent fabrics. The requirements for waterproof effect depend on its scope of use or customer requirements.
