Ripstop-Nylon 6.6, 30den, TPU-coated one side, heat-sealable, 120g/sqm

Lightweight 30den ripstop nylon 6.6 with a 0.06mm thick TPU film. This nylon is the high tenacity 6.6 variant, which stands for very high tensile, tear and abrasion resistance among nylons. In addition, 6.6 nylon is more temperature-stable than standard nylon, which makes it easier to work with. The TPU coating makes the fabric an incredibly versatile waterproof, airtight and (despite its relatively low weight) durable material. Thanks to the thermoplastic properties of the TPU, the fabric can be welded coating to coating using a conventional iron or a hot air dryer. Seams can be easily sealed with our Seamtape for coated fabrics or with a strip of the fabric coating on coating.

TPU (thermoplastic Polyurethane) as a coating combines perfect properties for outdoor equipment: It is 100% waterproof and airtight, extremely hard-wearing. Strong, waterproof connections can be easily created by ironing caoting to coating. But not all TPUs are equally suitable for DIY and MYOG applications where ease of processing is important. That's why we sat down with one of the top manufacturers to find the perfect combination. The result is our new TPU-coated 6.6 nylons: the TPU film can be ironed even at relatively low temperatures, but is of course still very durable and abrasion-resistant. The thickness of the film is also tailored to this combination of properties. The nylon 6.6 base fabric is not only significantly more tear-resistant than regular nylon 6, it also has a significantly higher tolerance to heat and leads to fewer wavy seams. Of course, all TPU films that we offer are hydrolysis-resistant and therefore also suitable for use in permanently damp environments (e.g. seat cushions and sleeping mats that are inflated by mouth).
