Tent fabric lightweight nylon and nylon ripstop fabric

Tent fabric lightweight nylon and ripstop nylon fabric in AAA-quality

Lightweight nylon tent fabric, nylon ripstop fabric(=stronger) or polyester tent fabric

Downstated our range of lighweight nylon fabric and nylon ripstop fabric.
Weights vary from 64  to 112 g / m².  The colors might deviate slightly compared to the photos. Of course, we also have suitable sewing thread for these types of nylon (ripstop) fabric.  See our special accessories assortment of tent sewing yarns. 
The silicone-coating of the nylon tent fabric cloth (3-layers) or polyurethane coating of the polyester tent fabric ensures waterproof properties, including ultraviolet stability. Nylon tent fabric  is mainly used for tents or tarps, which have to be broken down rapidly after a one night stay.  The lifetime is less than our (lightweight) cotton tent fabric(Ten Cate Tent Fabrics)

More about ripstop nylon fabric

Nylon ripstop fabric has stronger properties, especially regarding the  tensile strength and tear resistance (values of 6.6. on a ripstop-distance of approx. 4 mm).Ripstop nylon fabric is a special woven, lightweight nylon fabric that has been woven  in a special way and has extremely high tearing resistance.  In ripstop nylon fabric at every few millimeters weaving distance there is an an extra thick thread woven into the fabric. This creates a sort of interlocking pattern. This cloth structure protects the fabric  from extra tearing, simply because the thicker weft threads (read: warp yarns) are of a stronger quality. So ripstop nylon is a special nylon fabric, which is significantly stronger because of its weaves.

Applications of ripstop nylon fabric 

Nylon ripstop fabric is used as the tent fabric in our case. Other applications of ripstop nylon include, sails, parasails, kites, parachutes, hot air balloons, flags, sportswear and camping equipment, including sleeping bags.  If required we can provide you with the technical characteristics with respect to the tensile strength and tear resistance of our ripstop nylon fabric.
