Where Oxford cloth is used
Oxford cloth is used widely enough. From it sew shoes, bags, equipment for hunting and fishing, etc. This strong waterproof material is resistant to abrasion and temperature changes.
Oxford cloth was developed back in 19century inventors, industrialists from Scotland. Since then, it has changed in some ways, although the type of weave, in which the weft thread exceeds the thickness of the base, remained unchanged. Such a material with the addition of artificial fibers perfectly maintains its shape. It is characterized by lightness, strength and significant water-repellent properties. And where is it used?
Types of Oxford fabrics
Such a lightweight synthetic fiber fabric(polyester or nylon) has a specific structure with a special coating. The coating is made from the inside and can be PVC and PU. It is this treatment that gives the fabric waterproof properties and prevents the accumulation of dust and dirt between the fibers. The material is resistant to abrasion and temperature changes. Nylon oxford - a strong and elastic fabric, resistant to abrasion and the effects of chemicals. But at the same time, such material is highly electrified and quickly wears out under the influence of ultraviolet and heat. Oxford is made of polyester in the manufacture of furniture. It is slightly inferior to Oxford from nylon for strength and chemical resistance, but superior in light and heat resistance. Application area
Oxford cloth has a different thread thickness. This indicator is denoted in DEN (D). It is the density of the tissue that determines the area of its application. The higher D, that is, the thicker the thread, the heavier the fabric. Its density varies from 150 to 1000 g / m². Oxford 210 den is used for the production of outerwear, trousers and jackets, tents, bags, equipment for fishing and hunting, etc. From this material they sew camouflage clothes for employees of security organizations and departmental units. The color of the fabric can be very diverse. In addition to traditional monochrome colors, you can buy camouflage pattern. Many factories meet consumers and provide an opportunity to choose and order a pattern. This is especially true when sewing a uniform. In addition, in the manufacture of equipment for large corporations and firms, the requirements of unity of style may be put forward. Oxford 600 den is used for tailoring backpacks, bags, suitcases, snowmobile covers, motorcycles, scooters, quad bikes, jet skis and other equipment. Such a thick fabric is sewed and shoes. Oxford products are recommended to be washed at a temperature of 40 ° C. The rinse and spin mode is standard. It is possible to dry and dry in the drum at a low temperature. To bleach a fabric it is impossible, and to iron it is accepted at the maximum temperature in 110 ° С.
