CORDURA® NYCO Fabric – Comfort of cotton with enhanced durability
Originally designed as a rugged, lightweight comfort solution for military combat uniforms, durable CORDURA® NYCO Fabric is engineered with an intimate blend of INVISTA T420 nylon 6,6 staple fiber and cotton delivering enhanced abrasion and tear resistance, No Melt No Drip*** performance and 3-5x slower flame spread* versus internally tested equivalent weight polyester/cotton.
CORDURA® NYCO Fabric Extreme –
For decades, a part of the CORDURA® mission has been to support members of the military by using some of the world’s most durable fabrics. CORDURA® NYCO Fabric Extreme based on INVISTA T420HT high tenacity fiber technology has a mission to create a new generation of durable, yet even lighter weight fabrics. Strong, rugged fabrics like CORDURA® NYCO Extreme Fabricare specifically designed for hot weather combat uniforms, and are an excellent alternative to NYCO Mil-Spec fabric.
CORDURA TrueLock™ Fabric – Responsible fabrics with locked-in color
CORDURA TrueLock™ Fabric is engineered with high-tenacity nylon 6,6 multi-filament fiber that locks in the color at the molten polymer extrusion level to create deep, durable color throughout the entire fiber structure. CORDURA TrueLock™ Fabric has excellent color fastness, resists color loss after UV exposure and long-lasting color vibrancy. Color consistency is crucial when pairing fabric with other materials such as webbing to create military and law enforcement gear. Additionally, compared to conventional level acid piece dyeing, the process used to make CORDURA TrueLock™ Fabric uses less water, energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases****.
CORDURA® TrueLock™ Fabric is available in Desert Sand, Tan-499, Coyote-498, Ranger Green, Camo Green-483, Wolf Gray and Black. End-uses include bags, load carriage, and reinforcements as well as use in responsible webbings and trims.
