Which material is better for making inflatable tent fabrics?
Inflatable tent cover
1. 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 mostly made of polyester-cotton blended yarn and cotton yarn, and adopts weft weight flat or square flat weave. Oxford cloth has the characteristics of light texture, soft hand feeling, good water resistance and durability. In previous years, Oxford cloth has been the fabric of choice for inflatable tents.
2. From the perspective of waterproof coating, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is very waterproof (with the advancement of technology, the current PVC is of good quality and can also achieve better high and low temperature resistance), PVC is also known as polyvinyl chloride. Vinyl chloride has bright color, corrosion resistance, firmness and durability. Due to the addition of some toxic auxiliary materials such as plasticizers and anti-aging agents in the manufacturing process to enhance its heat resistance, toughness, ductility, etc., its products are generally not stored. food and medicine. It is a well-loved, popular and widely used synthetic material in the world today. Its global usage is the second highest among all synthetic materials. ; PU (polyurethane) coating can not only overcome the defects of PVC, but also has a good waterproof effect.
3. Silver-coated material, can prevent ultraviolet rays, mainly used for leisure beach tents, sunshade tents, advertising tents, etc. (the price of this kind of fabric is slightly higher, but it is very cool to use in summer). In addition, if the lining of the inflatable tent will also choose this kind of fabric.
4. 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 lot more expensive.
Inflatable tent lining:
Regarding the inner tent, it usually has two functions, heat preservation, moisture permeability and mosquito prevention. For the previous consideration, it usually also uses polyester taffeta, which has good air permeability and a certain heat preservation ability. To prevent mosquitoes, then the gauze is enough to deal with it, and the high-density mesh is better. If it is a four-season tent or an alpine tent, there is no doubt that all the inner tents are composed of polyester taffeta to keep warm. If it is a tent or a single tent in summer, almost all of them are gauze for heat dissipation and ventilation. For the three-season account, gauze and polyester taffeta each are a compromise and pragmatic choice.
For the sake of beauty, according to the color of the tent, we choose Shumei silk as the lining of the inflatable tent. In addition, if it is used in a hot area, we will also choose silver-coated cloth as the lining of the inflatable tent, and the shading effect is better.
Inflatable tent bottom material:
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.
1. PE coating primer, low price is the common primer for low-end tents at present, but it is easy to break after repeated folding.
2. The PU coating primer greatly exceeds the PE primer in terms of wear resistance and water resistance, and the cost performance is relatively high.
