PVC Coated Oxford Fabric Introduction

What Is PVC Coated Oxford Fabric?

PVC coated Oxford fabric is a functional textile material formed by applying a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating on the surface or back of Oxford fabric. Its base fabric is usually woven from polyester or nylon. Oxford fabric offers basic strength and flexibility, while the PVC coating endows it with water resistance, wear resistance, structural stability and stain resistance. Oxford fabric can be understood as the "skeleton", while the PVC coating is like the "protective layer". When combined, they can meet the needs of various outdoor and industrial applications.

Understanding Oxford Fabric Construction

Oxford fabric adopts a unique basket weaving structure, which makes the force distribution more uniform, thereby enhancing tensile strength, tear resistance and wear resistance.

Depending on different application requirements, Oxford fabric can be woven with yarns of various specifications, ranging from the lightweight 150D to the heavy-duty 1200D. By adjusting the yarn thickness and coating process, manufacturers can select fabrics suitable for different outdoor uses.

What Does PVC Coating Do?

PVC coating can upgrade ordinary Oxford fabric into a functional material with stronger protective capabilities.

The PVC coating forms a continuous protective layer, which helps reduce the risk of water penetration, enhances the abrasion resistance of the fabric surface, and makes the fabric crisper. It is suitable for protective covers and industrial products. According to the actual demand, other functions can also be added: flame retardant, resistance to UV, mould proof, resistance to chemicals, etc.

How PVC Coated Oxford Fabric Is Manufactured

The quality of PVC coated Oxford fabric largely depends on the manufacturing process. Each production stage affects the final performance of the fabric.
