Cordura: the ideal fabric for durable work clothing

You have probably already seen it in our webshop: Cordura workwear. Tricorp uses the wear-resistant fabric Cordura in various products. But what exactly is that substance? You can read more about this in this article. We also give you an overview of our Cordura collection.

WHAT IS CORDURA?

Cordura is a brand name for various types of textiles. These types of textiles have one important common property: they are able to withstand heavy loads. The basic fabric of Cordura is nylon 6.6. It is lightweight, yet very robust.

THE HISTORY OF CORDURA

Cordura was developed in 1929 by the DuPont company and is now produced by Invista. It was initially mainly used for military purposes. Since the 1970s it has been possible to dye Cordura in any desired color. This also made the material interesting for the commercial market. Nowadays Cordura is used in work clothing that involves heavy work. Manufacturers also regularly use Cordura in motorcycle clothing, backpacks and work shoes.

TEAR RESISTANT AND WEAR RESISTANT

The main characteristic of Cordura is that it is resistant to abrasive loads. This means that it is resistant to wear and tear due to abrasion. Cordura is also cut and tear resistant. The PU coating also makes the fabric waterproof, dirt-repellent and breathable at the same time.

TRICORP WORKWEAR WITH CORDURA

In practice, it appears that work clothing with Cordura lasts much longer than work clothing without this strong fabric. Below is an overview of Tricorp work clothing in which Cordura has been used.
