What kind of fabric is generally used for outdoor tents? Which outdoor tent fabric is better? Tent advertisements and manuals generally indicate the materials of the outer tent, the bottom of the tent and the inner tent, and you know 190T, 210D, Oxford cloth , PE bottom, waterproof PU What material does it all represent? A few decades ago, almost all tent materials were canvas or rubber tarpaulins that had been treated for water repellency, although they were weatherproof and heavy! So in today's light and strong materials are widely used, let's see what kind of material is the most suitable for your tent.

Generally speaking, polyester is thin and light, has high strength, good elasticity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for mountaineering and hiking campers.

Oxford cloth is thick, but heavier, making it suitable for making large tents for drive-through camping or small groups.

From the perspective of waterproof coating, although PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is good for waterproofing, it will become hard and brittle in winter, which is prone to creases or breaks; PU (polyurethane) coating can not only overcome the defects of PVC, but Also improve the waterproof effect. Also very good.

Silver-coated material, can prevent ultraviolet rays, mainly used for leisure beach tents, sunshade tents, advertising tents, etc.

Now some ultra-light accounts are more popular. Different from the previous nylon and polyester fabrics coated with PU layer to waterproof the principle, it uses silicon (silicone resin) technology, which is much lighter in weight, but the price will also be a a lot more expensive.

The main functions of the tent bottom are waterproof, moisture-proof and dust-proof, and the choice of the bottom material also determines the grade of the tent.

PE coating primer, low price is the common primer for low-end tents at present, but it is easy to break after repeated folding.

The PU coating primer greatly exceeds the PE primer in terms of wear resistance and water resistance, and the cost performance is relatively high.
