Waterproof Performance & Coating Options
We use different coating systems on nylon 500D Cordura fabrics to achieve the required waterproof level, handle and durability:
PU Coating (1–3 layers)
Economical and versatile solution.
Waterproof rating from 500 mm up to approx. 3000 mm.
Suitable for backpacks, tactical pouches, general outdoor bags and reinforcement panels.
TPU Lamination
High waterproof performance for demanding environments.
Waterproof rating from approx. 5000 mm up to 10,000 mm.
Ideal for motorcycle jackets and pants, outdoor packs, dry compartments and heavy rain exposure.
PVC Coating (on request)
Thick, durable coating for heavy-duty applications.
Suitable for protective covers, tool bags and industrial products when higher stiffness is acceptable
Additional Finishing
DWR Finish: improves water beading and reduces surface wet-out.
FR Treatment: for flame protection requirements.

Why Work With Us as Your Cordura Fabric Supplier?
Nylon 500D Cordura Fabric – FAQ
Q1: Can you match our existing nylon 500D Cordura fabric?
Yes. You can send us your fabric swatch or detailed specification. We will match the yarn type, weight, coating and color as close as possible and provide counter samples for approval.
Q2: Do you provide both Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 in 500D?
Yes. We can produce nylon 500D Cordura fabrics in both Nylon 6 and Nylon 66. Nylon 66 offers higher heat resistance and slightly better tensile strength, which is preferred for some tactical and military projects.
Q3: What is the usual MOQ for 500D Cordura fabrics?
For regular nylon 500D Cordura items, the MOQ is usually 300–500 m per color. For special constructions, colors or coatings, the MOQ can be discussed.
Q4: Can you provide test reports for 500D Cordura fabrics?
Yes. We can provide TDS, basic physical test data and, if needed, arrange third-party testing according to your standards.
