Khaki Ripstop Nylon Fabric 40 Denier for Emma Kites

Product Description

EMMA KITES 40D Ripstop Nylon Fabric is renowned for its strength, lightweight nature, and versatility. Enhanced with a PU coating, it offers exceptional water repellence and windproof properties. Available in a diverse array of colors, this fabric is ideal for a wide range of creative projects including kites (single line, inflatables, sport kites), outdoor banners, flags, duffel bags, stuff sacks, tarps, tents, hammocks, and more.

Tear Resistant

The fabric's ripstop nylon construction is reinforced with double threads, forming robust grids that effectively withstand tears and abrasions. This resilience ensures that kites maintain their integrity even after enduring severe impacts, making it equally suitable for durable stuff sacks and bags that encounter rough handling.

Water Repellent

Coated with PU (Polyurethane), the 40D ripstop nylon boasts excellent water repellency. It resists UV damage, exhibits minimal stretch, and retains strength and flexibility in various outdoor conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for crafting vibrant banners, windsocks, and DIY kayak sails that showcase vivid colors while providing reliable weather protection.

Lightweight and Durable

Weighing just 1.4 ounces per square yard (48 grams per square meter), the 40D ripstop nylon combines high tenacity nylon yarns with a lightweight design. This optimal strength-to-weight ratio facilitates effortless outdoor carry, alleviating the burden of heavy equipment during extended adventures.
