1. What is DWF Fabric 🧵
DWF = Double Wall Drop-stitch Fabric
- Structure: Two upper and lower layers of high-strength polyester fabric, vertically connected with dense polyester drawn threads in the middle
- Features: High hardness and flat board surface after inflation (like a hard board); Foldable and lightweight for storage after deflation 🎒
- Applications: Specially used for high-pressure inflatable products such as water floating platforms, inflatable paddle boards, floating mats, water leisure platforms, etc.
2. DWF TPU Fabric 🛡️ (Double Wall Drop-stitch Fabric + TPU Coating)
- Material: Double Wall Drop-stitch Fabric + TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) eco-friendly coating
- Appearance & Touch: Matte/semi-matte, delicate surface, non-sticky, almost no odor 🧼
- Weight: 10%–20% lighter than PVC, easier to carry, transport and use 🚗
- Weather Resistance: Cold-resistant (no hardening at -20℃), UV-resistant, hydrolysis-resistant, long outdoor service life ⛅
- Environmental Safety: Non-toxic, no plasticizers, compliant with EU/US REACH, RoHS and other export standards ✅
- Durability: Anti-aging, not easy to crack or stick, longer service life ⏳
- Price: Higher cost 💰
- Applicability: Foreign trade export, high-end water floating platforms, long-term outdoor use 🌍
3. DWF PVC Fabric 📦 (Double Wall Drop-stitch Fabric + PVC Coating)
- Material: Double Wall Drop-stitch Fabric + PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) traditional coating
- Appearance & Touch: Slightly glossy/semi-glossy, strong plastic feel, hardens in low-temperature environments ❄️
- Weight: Relatively heavy ⚖️
- Weather Resistance: General anti-aging performance, easy to age and stick after long-term sun exposure ☀️
- Environmental Safety: Plastic odor, contains plasticizers, restricted in some overseas markets ⚠️
- Durability: Usable under normal use, but shorter service life than TPU
- Price: Low cost, high cost performance 🤑
- Applicability: Domestic sales products, limited budget, short-term/temporary use 📍
4. Core Comparison Summary 📊
