What is Canvas Fabric? What Are the Characteristics of Flame-Retardant Canvas Fabric?

Canvas is generally categorized into two types: coarse canvas and fine canvas. Canvas fabric boasts a wide range of excellent properties, which contribute to its extensive applications. You may be familiar with common products like canvas shoes, canvas bags, tablecloths, and table covers, all made from this versatile material. To give you a better understanding, let’s explore the key features of canvas fabric.

Flame-Retardant Canvas Fabric

Flame-retardant canvas fabric is a durable, rugged material with inherent fire-resistant properties. It is produced using BEGOODTEX’s permanent flame-retardant polyester fibers or fiber blends. Here are some of its defining features:

1. Abrasion Resistance: Canvas is known for its high durability and resistance to wear. Products made from canvas are less likely to be damaged by scratches, making it a preferred material for bags and heavy-duty items.
2. Shape Retention: Canvas does not easily deform, maintaining its structure over time. This makes it an ideal choice for luggage and other products that require long-lasting shape retention.
3. Specialized Treatments: During the manufacturing process, canvas can be treated to be water-resistant, flame-resistant, and even radiation-resistant. These treatments broaden the scope of canvas applications across various industries.
4. Non-Toxic and Skin-Friendly: Canvas is safe and eco-friendly, as it does not produce harmful substances during production. It is also non-irritating to the skin, making it suitable for direct contact in clothing and accessories.
5. Affordable: Canvas is an affordable fabric, its high cost-effectiveness makes it a popular choice for many applications.

Polyester Canvas: This canvas is made from 100% polyester, with an effective width of about 180 cm and a weight of 280 g/m². The fabric is tightly woven, thick, and resistant to scratches and abrasions. It is suitable for making curtains, bags, and upholstery, and comes in a variety of colors.
