Our Covers are High Density Polyethylene Woven Fabric
Our high density polyethylene (HDPE) woven cover fabric offers superior strength and durability compared to other fabrics. It’s used in the construction of a variety of products, from apparel to industrial components. Here we discuss the material and its properties, its many practical and environmental benefits, the various uses, and why it is an excellent choice for hoop barn covers. Read on if you would like to discover more about this versatile fabric.
What is High Density Polyethylene Woven Fabric?
HDPE woven fabric is made with polyethylene (PE) fibers that are tightly woven together to create a strong, durable cloth. Our HDPE fabric is woven with a special pattern to increase flatness, resistance to abrasion, and tear strength. The coating on our cover fabric also increases the abrasion resistance, as well as the seam strength, UV resistance, and longevity.
Properties of High Density Polyethylene Woven Fabric
High density polyethylene woven fabric has many properties that make it desirable for fabric building covers. It is an extremely durable and heavy duty fabric. It is also highly flexible, making it easy to work with. It is highly resistant to tearing and stretching, as well as being highly water-resistant. HDPE fabric is resistant to chemicals, stains, and abrasions. The fabric is also highly resistant to mold, mildew, and rot, making it ideal for use in humid environments. Finally, its high UV-resistance makes it an excellent choice for outdoor applications that are constantly exposed to the elements.
Uses of High Density Polyethylene Woven Fabric
HDPE woven fabric is used in a variety of applications, from agricultural to recreational. It is used to create bags, backpacks, tent covers, fabric tarps, and many other outdoor products due to its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. It is also often used to create tough fabrics for outdoor equipment and apparel. This type of fabric is often used in a variety of apparel and industrial applications due to its versatility, strength, and durability.
Advantages of High Density Polyethylene Woven Fabric
HDPE woven fabric covers offer numerous advantages for fabric building applications. Their high strength-to-weight ratio means covers made from HDPE are easier and more economical to transport and easier to handle and install. High durability and tensile strength make it a great choice for use in agricultural and industrial tension fabric buildings. Its resistance to chemicals, stains, and abrasion lends further versatility and usefulness. The high tear strength and low temp flexibility of HDPE fabric gives it increased performance and durability even in extreme cold and adverse weather conditions. HDPE woven fabric allows more natural light transmission while also reflecting heat, providing a brighter and cooler working environment while also increasing energy efficiency. High density polyethylene woven fabric is highly UV-resistant as well. This UV-resistance makes it an ideal choice for creating products that will be exposed to the elements, such as fabric tents, tarps, and other outdoor products.
HDPE is also 100% recyclable and is the most commonly recycled plastic worldwide, so when it finally does reach the end of its useful lifespan it will be accepted by most recycling facilities. So even if your cover isn’t green, your building will be!
The fabric is also used in industrial applications, such as conveyor belts, geotextiles, and protective wear. In construction woven HDPE is used for roofing, siding, and flooring materials.
Why Should You Choose A High Density Polyethylene Woven Fabric Cover?
HDPE woven fabric is an excellent choice for a variety of fabric building applications due to its numerous advantages. Its light weight makes it easier to handle and transport. Its strength and durability translate to a much longer lifespan, which saves you labor, money, and time over the life of your hoop building. Resistance to chemicals, stains, abrasions, and UV damage extend the longevity well past other commonly used cloth building covers. The extended lifespan compared to PVC or canvas fabrics makes it the best value for the money you can get. And our hoop barn covers are made right here in the USA.
