FAQ

  • What is the waterproof performance? What is the hydrostatic head rating?
    Waterproof rating can reach Level 4–5, with hydrostatic head up to 10,000 mm+, customizable to customer requirements.
  • What is the difference between PU and PA coating? How do I choose?
    • PA Coating (traditional/economy): Stiffer and thinner hand feel; tends to become brittle and crinkly in low temperatures. Moderate waterproofing and lower hydrostatic head. Advantages: lower cost, good color fastness.
    • PU Coating (mainstream/functional): Soft and elastic with a slight leather-like feel. Better waterproofing and higher hydrostatic head. More abrasion-resistant and cold-weather durable. Slightly higher price.
    • Recommendation: For basic raincoats, storage bags, or simple tents → PA coating. For outdoor jackets, backpacks, windbreakers, or premium umbrellas → PU coating.
  • Do flame retardancy and waterproofing conflict when both are required?
    No. For coated products, flame retardancy and waterproofing are compatible and do not significantly interfere with each other.
  • What is the minimum temperature the tent fabric can withstand?
    For standard (unmodified) PU coating, the low-temperature limit is typically around -30°C.
  • Does your tent fabric comply with the US CPAI-84 standard?
    Yes. Third-party test reports are available upon request.

How to Read Tent Fabric Specifications and Choose by Tent Type

A name such as "190T FR and WR PU coated taffeta" packs several decisions into one line. The T number is the thread count per square inch, the D number is the thickness of the yarn, and the weave sets the character of the fabric: taffeta is lightweight and economical for personal camping, while oxford is heavier and more durable. The coating makes the fabric waterproof, the waterproof rating is a hydrostatic head figure in millimeters, and our coated tent fabrics reach 10,000 mm and above. Letters such as FR, WR and anti-mosquito mark the added functions.

PA coating is the economical choice, while PU coating is softer and gives better waterproofing, abrasion resistance and cold performance, so we recommend PU for tents that will face weather or repeated pitching. Silver coating adds water and UV resistance. Our ready range is built on polyester, and nylon, valued for strength and light weight, and T/C, valued for durability and breathability in medium to large tents, are available on request.

For lightweight personal camping, our 190T fire retardant and waterproof PU coated taffeta for tents keeps weight and cost down. Family and campground tents suit 210T to 260T taffeta or 600D oxford, such as the camo printed 210T FR and waterproof taffeta with anti-mosquito finish and the camo printed 600D PU coated oxford for durable tents. For long-term or exposed use, the silver and PU coated 190T taffeta with FR and water resistance is a strong choice, and the printed white PU coated 260T taffeta for tents gives a clean base for graphics. Military and relief shelters are built as custom fabrics with higher water pressure and enhanced flame retardancy. The full range is on our FR coated tent fabric page for waterproof camping and event tents.

Fire Retardant Standards for Tents: Which Report to Ask For

The right fire report depends on how the tent is used and who inspects it. Camping tents sold to consumers are typically judged against CPAI-84, a flammability specification written for camping tentage, and our tent fabrics comply with it, with third-party test reports available on request. Tents used at public events are typically judged against NFPA 701 together with local fire authority rules, and European projects often refer to EN 13501-1 or DIN 4102-B1.

Confirm which report your market and inspector expect before you order fabric. A report applies to the fabric as it will be used, with its coating and finish, so match the report to the exact fabric. Military and relief shelters usually follow the customer's own specification, and we work from that directly. Tell us the tent type and target market through our contact page for tent fabric quotations and test reports.

Balancing Waterproofing, Flame Retardancy and Weather Performance in Tent Fabric

For coated fabrics, flame retardancy and waterproofing work together without significantly interfering, so the real choices sit between waterproof level, weight, cold performance and sun exposure. Waterproof ratings are commonly grouped into bands: around 1,500 mm for light rain, around 3,000 mm for family and three-season camping, and 5,000 mm and above for exposed sites and long-term use. Floors are usually specified higher than the flysheet, and our fabrics reach 10,000 mm and above where a project needs it.

Coating type decides cold behavior. PU stays flexible and durable in the cold, and standard PU is typically good down to about minus 30 degrees Celsius. For colder conditions, tell us the target temperature and we will discuss the right coating. In strong sun, silver coating improves water and UV resistance, while heavier constructions such as 600D oxford resist abrasion from wind-blown sand and repeated pitching, and T/C tents benefit from an anti-mold treatment.

Ventilation matters as much as the rating, since condensation inside a tent is managed by design as well as by fabric, so it is best to specify both together. Send us the tent type, the climate, the fire standard and the quantity, and we will propose a construction.
