Cordura®
Cordura® is a highly abrasion-resistant and tear-resistant polyamide 6.6 from DuPont/Invista. Hot-air texturing gives the surface a coarse structure and a feel similar to natural fibers. Cordura® is available in various thicknesses, from 160 denier to 1000 denier, and is often blended with other fibers. Disadvantage: the coarse structure of the yarn makes it difficult to coat. Uses: backpacks, bags, or as reinforcement in clothing.
