The Ottertex® nylon ripstop fabric is a durable and synthetic fabric that is perfect for all types of indoor and outdoor use. This fabric is 70 denier, 100% nylon, and 62/3” inches wide. It is a light-weight interwoven fabric, using special synthetic fibers to create a square like pattern. The special fibers used are placed within the weave at specific points, allowing for the fabric to have superior quality and hold against all types of wear and tear.
This fabric in particular is specially coated with PU (polyurethane). PU coating allows for the ripstop to be waterproof by using a seam sealing process (the process of covering the stitch holes and seams in a fabric to prevent any water leakage), withstanding all types of water exposures. Compared to many other ripstop fabrics within the industry such as DWR or Silnylon, the PU coating nylon ripstop has superior waterproofing qualities. Ripstop is also a very pliable and easy to use fabric, allowing for a great deal of flexibility despite having a soft finish.
The ripstop fabric can be used for kites, flags, banners, camping equipment, tents, hammocks, pants, sleeping bags, windbreakers and more. Ripstop fabric is extremely versatile in its applications and can be used for mass production or simple everyday projects.
