Custom colors by Pantone and OEM specification support for your projects.

Cordura Fabric Overview

Nylon 500D Cordura fabric is one of the most widely used materials for tactical and outdoor gear because it offers a perfect balance between strength, weight and flexibility. Compared with heavier 1000D Cordura, 500D is lighter and more comfortable, while still providing high abrasion resistance and tear strength for demanding applications.

Our nylon 500D Cordura-type fabrics are woven from selected high-tenacity Nylon 6 or Nylon 66 yarns and finished with PU, TPU or PVC coatings according to your performance requirements. Fabrics are produced under strict quality control and are suitable for global brand manufacturers, tactical gear factories, military contractors and outdoor brands.

Waterproof Performance & Coating Options

We use different PU coating systems on nylon 1000D Cordura fabrics to achieve the required waterproof level, handle, and durability:

PU Coating (1–3 layers)

 Economical and widely used solution for 1000D Cordura fabric.

 Hydrostatic head from about 1000 mm up to approx. 5000 mm.

 Suitable for tactical backpacks, military bags, motorcycle luggage, and reinforcement panels.

PU Coating + DWR Finish

 PU coating on back with DWR on face side to reduce wet-out and improve water beading, especially in rainy conditions.

Additional Finishing

 DWR Finish: improves water repellency on the surface and keeps the fabric lighter in wet weather.

 FR Treatment: for protective clothing, workwear, and industrial safety applications.

 UV & IRR Finish: for outdoor and military projects with UV-resistance or infrared requirements.
