What else does waterproof tent cloth do?

Generally speaking, polyester is thin and light, has high strength, good elasticity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for mountaineering and hiking campers. Oxford cloth is thick but heavy, suitable for making large tents for driving camping or small groups. The main thing about Oxford cloth tents is that they are waterproof.

Tent cloth will also be added with coating agents, such as: PVC coating, PU coating, etc. Although PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is good at waterproofing, it will harden and become brittle in winter, and is prone to creases or breaks. PU (polyurethane) coating can not only overcome the defects of PVC, but also has a very good waterproof effect.

There is also silver-coated Oxford cloth that can protect against ultraviolet rays and is mainly used for leisure beach tents, sunshade tents, advertising tents, etc.

Of course, while being waterproof, the tent fabric can also be added with a flame retardant coating. The flame retardancy of flame-retardant Oxford cloth is often achieved through the principles of weather flame retardancy, condensed phase flame retardancy and interrupted heat exchange flame retardancy. Those that freely exert the function of flame-retardant fabrics that have been promoting the growth of the combustion reaction chain are gas-phase flame retardants; those that delay or prevent the thermal decomposition of polymers in the solid phase and play a flame-retardant role are condensed-phase flame retardants. Therefore, an Oxford cloth can have both a waterproof coating and a flame-retardant coating.

What are the specifications of Oxford cloth? Such as 1680D, 1200D, 900D, 600D, 420D, 300D, 210D, 150D and other Oxford cloth. Function classification of Oxford cloth: fire-retardant cloth, waterproof Oxford cloth, PVC Oxford cloth, PU Oxford cloth, camouflage Oxford cloth, fluorescent Oxford cloth, Printed Oxford cloth, composite Oxford cloth, etc.
