How Is ECOPAK™ Fabric Constructed?
ECOPAK™ (EPX) Layered Construction
Each layer optimizes strength, waterproofness, and eco-friendliness. EPLX versions use film for seam taping; EPX variants use a ripstop backing for durability.
What Makes ECOPAK™ Fabric Stand Out?
- Recycled Polyester Fabric Construction: All layers—including face fabric, film, and backing—are crafted from recycled polyester, primarily sourced from post-consumer bottles.
- Durable and Waterproof: As a laminated structure, ECOPAK™ is abrasion-resistant, waterproof, and provides long-lasting UV resistant protection.
- Non-Toxic Innovation: Free from fluorocarbons, PVC, and solvent-based adhesives. Uses C0 DWR to ensure non-toxic water repellency.
- Recyclable and Circular: The fabric can be recycled post-use, aiding a circular textile economy.
What’s the Environmental Impact of Non- toxic ECOPAK™ Recyeled Fabric?
- Recycled Components: One yard = 20+ plastic bottles diverted.
- Lower CO₂ Emissions: 50% less than nylon, 38% less than virgin film.
- No Harmful Emissions: Completely non-toxic and solvent-free.
- Water & Energy Savings: Less consumption than traditional laminated nylon production.
How Durable Is ECOPAK™ Fabric?
- Abrasion Resistance: EPX400 outperforms 420D nylon; EPX600 is on par with 500D Cordura®.
- UV Resistance: 97%+ UV resistant, ideal for long-term exposure.
- Weight & Strength: EPX200 (≈200 gsm) balances durability and ultralight use.
- Tear Resistance: Triple the tear strength of DCH Dyneema® with seven times more abrasion resistance.
