EMMA KITES 40D Ripstop Nylon Fabric, strong, lightweight, and versatile, enhanced by PU coating to be water repellent and windproof. Available in a rich collection of colors to reflect your styles and needs in a various range of creative projects: all kinds of kites (single line kites, inflatables, laundry, octopus kites, sport kites, etc.), outdoor banners and flags, light duffel bags, stuff sacks, tarp, tent, hammock and more.
TEAR RESISTANT! Reinforced double threads spread across the fabric to form strong grids, allowing fabrics to build up superior strength against diverse tears and wear. This superior benefit from ripstop nylon will help kites retain good condition, even after repeated severe bumps from the sky directly to the ground; creating additional barriers for stuff sacks and bags to hold up against pokes of wood and thorns, rubbing from rough rocks.
WATER REPELLENT! PU (polyurethane) coating is applied to the fabric for excellent water repellency and windproofing. Ripstop Nylon is also largely enhanced by PU coating for higher resistance to UV, lower stretch, stronger strength, and pliability. Great outdoor fabrics for you to make unique banners and flags, bright windsocks, and DIY kayak sails, to show your styles with stunning colors.
LIGHTWEIGHT and DURABLE! 1.4Oz yd² [48 gm²] weight, 40D ripstop nylon is made with high tenacity nylon yarns to have high strength in lightweight. The optimal strength-to-weight ratio for fast and easy outdoor carry.
Professionally cut and pre-packaged by EMMA KITES in full retail packaging: 1yard (36″ x 60″) per piece, pre-cut, folded. Maintenance: wash in cold and warm water, line dry.
