What types of fabrics can be sewn or RF-Welded?

Fabrics

Bullet Point Spacing Example
  • Coated fabric sewing
  • Laminated fabric sewing
  • Coated fabric RF-welding
  • Laminated fabric RF-welding

This material is a polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-coated or laminated polyester, which makes it water- and air-tight. However, sewing the seams can cause leakage due to needle perforations. For this reason, we opt to weld PVC-coated and PVC-laminated materials when a completely leak-proof seal is required.

Vinyl

  • Flexible Vinyl fabric sewing
  • Flexible Vinyl fabric RF-welding
Vinyl is also made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic plastic polymer. The production process for vinyl involves two main components:

    Ethylene: A hydrocarbon derived from crude oil or natural gas.

    Chlorine: Extracted from salt (sodium chloride) through a process called electrolysis, which separates chlorine from sodium.

Nylon

  • Nylon and polyester sewing
  • Nylon and polyester RF welding

Nylon and polyester fabrics can be coated with Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) or Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) on one or both sides. As previously stated, RF welding requires these thermoplastic layers; otherwise, the nylon or polyester material must be sewn.

Canvas

  • Canvas sewing contractor
Canvas is a heavy-duty, plain-woven fabric typically made from cotton, linen, or sometimes polyester blends. It is known for its strength, durability, and versatility. Historically, canvas was made from hemp, but cotton and linen are now more commonly used.

Thermoplastic

  • Thermoplastic sewing
  • Thermoplastic RF Welding
Thermoplastics also come in films without a reinforcing scrim, which provides stability to the material. A pure thermoplastic film is stretchable depending on the density of the plastic. We do not recommend sewing plastic films, as the perforations from stitch holes can lead to easy tearing. However, if the thermoplastic contains a polyester or nylon scrim, the material can be sewn or RF welded.

Amcraft has again supplied an exceptional product for another one our projects.Their sales and engineering groups were able to meet our extensive custom order. The ship date was as promised, and received in perfect condition. I can’t think of any other manufacturer who could meet our food grade needs.

Kristen and the team at Amcraft was very accommodating. They made the ordering process simple, efficient and communicated their expertise with precision and accuracy. The customer curtains (2), were made to our expectations and the lead time/delivery was faster than expected.Although, they were built as curtains, we work in a hot environment and change the way we mounted the curtains. We have seen a decrease in temperature in our facility, which can be an oven.We wish the best for Amcraft, and thank you again.

Our company installed a machine that is known for the generation of relatively high decibel readings. The readings were exacerbated by the location of the machine adjacent to a concrete block wall. The combination of machinery and location resulted in decibel readings that exceeded expectations.We spoke with several companies for a solution, and AmCraft was chosen for the flexibility of their product. It allowed the sound dampening wall to be retracted when service needed to be done and provided an excellent amount of sound cancellation.Andrea at AmCraft was very patient as we sorted out what was best for our process and our budget.The customer has expressed an interest in using these same panels for other applications in their mill.Good Job AmCraft!! Thank You Very Much.
