Introduction

In the dynamic world of outdoor equipment and adventure, where unpredictability is the norm, the significance of having trustworthy, waterproof materials cannot be overstated. Operating from our cutting-edge B2B manufacturing facility in China, we specialize in crafting high-quality Oxford fabrics with PU (Polyurethane) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) coatings.

In the ever-changing landscape of outdoor adventures, you need gear that can keep up. Our Oxford fabric is designed to do just that, ensuring your outdoor moments are marked by resilience, comfort, and the unwavering protection of a waterproof shield.

Waterproof Performance

The Science of Waterproofing: PU and PVC Coatings

Our Oxford fabric’s impressive waterproof performance is underpinned by the specialized PU (Polyurethane) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) coatings. These coatings create a robust waterproof barrier, but they each have unique characteristics:

PU Coating: Renowned for breathability and flexibility, PU coating allows moisture vapor to escape while effectively repelling external water. This breathability is crucial, particularly in tent applications, as it ensures a comfortable and condensation-free interior.

PVC Coating: PVC coating, on the other hand, provides an impermeable shield against water. It excels in situations demanding complete waterproofing, making it ideal for applications where absolute protection from heavy rain is paramount.

Enhancing Waterproof Performance: Sealed Seams, DWR Finish, and Testing

Our commitment to waterproof excellence goes beyond coatings. We employ a combination of strategies to enhance the waterproof performance of our Oxford fabric:

Sealed Seams: Meticulously sealed seams eliminate gaps or stitching holes, ensuring water cannot infiltrate. This added measure strengthens the overall waterproofing of products crafted with our fabric.

Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Finish: Many of our products boast a DWR finish, causing water to bead and roll off the fabric’s surface. This finish not only enhances waterproofing but also prevents fabric saturation, maintaining a lightweight and comfortable user experience.

Testing and Validation: Our Oxford fabric endures rigorous testing, including hydrostatic pressure tests, to determine its resistance to water penetration. Consistently successful results confirm its effectiveness in repelling water, making it a reliable choice for various outdoor applications.

Factory Customization Process

Initial Consultation and Sample Production

Initial Consultation:

The customization process begins with a comprehensive consultation with our clients.

We focus on understanding specific requirements, such as fabric specifications, color preferences, and other custom features.

Sample Production:

Following the consultation, we create customized samples of the Oxford fabric.

These samples serve as prototypes for customers to assess fabric quality, texture, and appearance.

Adjustments can be made at this stage to meet the client’s specific needs before full-scale production.

Design, Color, and Quality Assurance

Design and Dimensional Adjustments:

Our experienced design team assists in modifying the fabric’s design, weight, thickness, and other characteristics.

This includes adapting the fabric to fit various product dimensions accurately.

Color Customization:

We offer a broad range of color options for our Oxford fabric to match product aesthetics or branding requirements.

We provide color matching assistance and recommendations based on client preferences.

Material Selection and Quality Assurance:

Clients can choose between PU or PVC coatings based on their specific use-case and performance requirements.

We maintain stringent quality control measures throughout the customization process, regularly testing the fabric for waterproof performance and overall durability.

Cost Optimization and Communication:

We work closely with clients to find the right balance between customization and affordability.

Open and transparent communication ensures clients are informed and involved at every stage of the process.

Production Process

Material Procurement and Coating Application

Our production process commences with meticulous material procurement. The choice of high-quality polyester yarns forms the basis for our Oxford fabric. These yarns are selected for their strength, durability, and compatibility with the PU and PVC coatings.

The next critical step is the precise application of either PU (Polyurethane) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) coatings, chosen based on customer requirements and intended use. The coating process is essential to ensure uniformity and a waterproof seal, followed by curing to optimize waterproof properties.

Fabric Processing, Quality Control, and Final Inspection

After the coatings are applied and cured, the fabric undergoes various processing stages to achieve the desired texture, strength, and appearance. These processes include calendaring for smoothing, dyeing for color, and potentially texturing and embossing for specific design requirements.

Quality control is integrated throughout the production process, with skilled technicians inspecting the fabric at multiple stages to ensure it meets rigorous standards for waterproofing, strength, and appearance. Final inspections are conducted before the fabric leaves our factory to provide an additional layer of quality assurance, ensuring that the Oxford fabric you receive is ready for reliable performance in various outdoor applications.
