Polyester Taffeta Waterproof Fabric With Pu Coating For Kite Umbrella decorative wedding red cloth flags clothing lining

Product Overview

This lightweight polyester taffeta is supplied in a plain-dyed, PU-coated configuration and is described on the product page as waterproof, durable, and suitable for both decorative and functional applications. Its 38–60 gsm weight range and available 170T, 180T, 190T, and 210T densities make it relevant to projects requiring a lightweight woven fabric with a coated surface.

Primary applications include umbrellas, kites, decorative flags, wedding and event decoration, and clothing linings. The source also lists bags, bedding, garments, home textiles, sofas, and luggage. Suitability for each application should be confirmed against the selected weight, density, coating specification, required hand feel, and applicable performance standard.

The source lists several coating and finishing routes, including PU, PA, PVC, silver coating, and plain-dyed fabric without coating. This product page specifically identifies the fabric as PU coated. Alternative finishes should be treated as separate customization options and confirmed during quotation and sampling.

Product Specifications

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

The fabric is made from 100% polyester and uses a taffeta construction. Taffeta fabrics are commonly selected when buyers want a lightweight woven material with a relatively smooth surface and more shape than a soft, flowing lining fabric. The exact crispness, sheen, surface noise, drape, and hand feel are not quantified on the source page and should therefore be evaluated using a physical sample.

The PU coating is described as providing the fabric’s waterproof barrier. The source does not state the coating weight, coating side, hydrostatic-pressure result, spray-test grade, water-repellency chemistry, coating-adhesion result, or wash-durability level. Buyers with measurable waterproofing requirements should communicate the required test method and acceptance value before sampling.

Custom colors are available according to the buyer’s requirements. Because coated polyester may show color and surface appearance differently under indoor, outdoor, or event lighting, a lab dip or approval sample should be reviewed before bulk production.

Key Product Features

• Lightweight specification range: The available 38–60 gsm range supports projects where low fabric weight and compact packing are important.

• Quantity-based pricing: Pricing depends on the selected quality and order quantity, with more favorable terms indicated for larger volumes.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Umbrellas and Lightweight Rain-Protection Components

Umbrellas are one of the product’s primary stated applications. The 38–60 gsm construction helps control finished-product weight, while the PU coating provides the source-described waterproof barrier.

Before bulk production, umbrella buyers should confirm the required water-pressure or spray-test standard, coating continuity, seam construction, tear strength, colorfastness, UV exposure, repeated folding performance, and coating adhesion. Needle holes and sewn seams can create water-entry points even when the fabric surface meets the required waterproof specification, so seam design or sealing requirements should be evaluated on the finished product.

Kites, Flags, and Outdoor Decorative Products

The low fabric weight can be useful for kites, flags, banners, and suspended decorative elements where movement and manageable weight are important. Custom colors allow the material to support promotional, event, national-color, or seasonal designs.

Wind exposure places stress on cut edges, corners, seams, and attachment points. Buyers should test tear strength, edge fraying, seam slippage, reinforcement methods, and outdoor colorfastness for the intended product. The source does not provide wind-load, UV-resistance, or outdoor-lifespan data.

Wedding Decoration and Decorative Red Cloth

The product title specifically references wedding red cloth and decorative use. Custom color development can support wedding backdrops, venue accents, flags, bows, draped panels, and temporary event decoration.

The PU-coated version may have a firmer hand and different drape from uncoated decorative taffeta. Buyers should approve the selected weight, color, gloss, coating side, opacity, and drape using a full-width sample. If a venue or destination market requires flame-retardant performance, that requirement must be stated before sampling; the source’s flame-retardant feature listing is not evidence that every PU-coated version carries that treatment or a supporting test report.

Clothing Linings, Coats, and Jackets

The source lists clothing lining and general garment use. A lightweight taffeta can provide a smooth internal layer and help garments slide over other clothing. For coats, jackets, costumes, uniforms, or weather-oriented garments, the coated version may also be evaluated where a barrier layer is required.

PU coating can change breathability, flexibility, sewing behavior, and skin-contact comfort compared with plain-dyed uncoated lining. Buyers should confirm whether the lining will face the body, another fabric layer, or the exterior. For sleepwear or other close-to-skin products referenced by the page metadata, physical sampling and relevant chemical, comfort, and safety assessments are particularly important.

Bags, Luggage, Purses, and Totes

The fabric may be considered for lightweight bag shells, internal linings, pockets, covers, or non-structural panels. The coating can help protect contents from incidental moisture when the complete product is properly constructed.

For high-wear locations, buyers should evaluate abrasion resistance, tear strength, seam strength, coating adhesion, rubbing colorfastness, and compatibility with reinforcement materials. The 38–60 gsm range should not automatically be treated as a heavy-duty luggage specification without testing.

Bedding, Home Textiles, Sofas, Toys, and Industrial Uses

The source also references bedding, home textiles, sofas, toys, and industrial applications. These should be treated as conditional uses rather than proof that the fabric is suitable for every product in these categories.

For upholstery or sofa programs, confirm whether the fabric will be used as a lining, dust cover, decorative layer, or exposed seating surface. Its source-listed weight range is lightweight and should not be assumed to meet upholstery-grade abrasion requirements.

Bedding, toy, and other consumer-product programs may require additional chemical, flammability, migration, skin-contact, or age-specific safety testing. Industrial uses should be defined by the actual performance requirement; the page does not provide a protective-clothing rating, hazard classification, or industrial certification.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

The following points are development checks rather than confirmed product specifications:

• Coating specification: Confirm coating type, coating side, coating weight, appearance, adhesion, flexibility, and required waterproof test.
• Functional finishes: State whether flame retardancy, anti-static performance, tear resistance, shrink resistance, or another function is mandatory. Request the applicable test method and acceptance criteria.
• Cutting and edge control: Lightweight taffeta can require suitable edge finishing, binding, overlocking, heat cutting, or another fraying-control method. Test the chosen method on the actual coated fabric.
• Needles and seams: Select needle size, thread, stitch density, and seam type through sewing trials. Excessive needle penetration or dense stitching can damage lightweight fabric or reduce water-barrier performance.
• Reinforcement: Reinforce high-stress corners, attachment points, handles, eyelets, and hardware areas where required.
• Printing and branding: Confirm whether the selected coating accepts the intended print, transfer, adhesive, ink, or logo process. OEM and logo customization depend on the requested method.
• Color approval: Approve the lab dip and production sample under lighting relevant to the finished product.
• Heat and bonding: Test ironing, heat sealing, lamination, welding, and adhesive bonding temperatures before production because coating response can vary.
• Care instructions: The source does not provide a confirmed wash or cleaning method. Care requirements should be established according to the coating, color, finished construction, and intended end use.
• Bulk approval: Confirm usable width, roll length, shade tolerance, coating consistency, defect standard, inspection method, and performance requirements in the purchase specification.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Color and Product Development

Colors can be produced according to customer requirements. The source also references different densities, weights, coatings, patterns, and finishing routes. Exact feasibility depends on the requested quantity, performance target, manufacturing route, and destination-market requirements.

OEM service is available subject to the project request. Logo customization is also referenced, but the application method—such as printing, branding on packaging, selvage marking, or another process—should be confirmed rather than assumed.

MOQ and Sampling

• Standard MOQ: 2,000 meters per color
• Lab-dip time: normally 3–5 days
• Plain-color approval sample: normally 7–10 days
• Sample quantity, sample charge, freight cost, and sample-payment method: confirm when requesting the sample

Buyers should submit a physical color reference, Pantone reference, technical standard, or other agreed target where applicable.

Production Lead Time and Capacity

The source lists a bulk-production time of 3–20 days. Actual timing will depend on quantity, color approval, greige availability, coating route, functional finishing, testing, packaging, and production scheduling.

The page also states:

• Daily output of up to 150,000 meters
• Monthly production capacity of more than 3 million meters

These figures indicate volume-production capability but do not guarantee that capacity is reserved for a particular order. Confirm the production schedule before issuing the purchase order.

Packaging and Container Loading

Standard roll packing is listed as 50, 100, or 200 meters per roll. Packing details can also be adjusted according to the buyer’s requirements.

The source gives the following usual loading references:

• 20GP: approximately 200,000 meters
• 40GP: approximately 380,000 meters

Actual loading depends on the selected weight, width, roll length, packaging dimensions, and shipping requirements.

Shipping and Payment

Available shipping methods include express and sea freight.

For large orders, the page states that first-time clients typically use a 30% T/T down payment and 70% before shipping. Another product-page section states 30% T/T in advance and 70% upon receipt of the copy of the bill of lading. Because these payment descriptions are not identical, the final payment milestone should be confirmed in the quotation and pro forma invoice.

L/C may be considered for repeat clients, and other payment arrangements may be negotiable. Sample-payment terms should be confirmed separately.

2024–2026 Fabric Regulations & Compliance Update

Because this product is marketed as PU coated and waterproof, buyers should document the complete coating formulation and any additional water-repellent, stain-repellent, flame-retardant, anti-static, printing, or bonding chemistry used in the final specification. A PU coating by itself does not establish whether PFAS are present or absent.

Buyers supplying EU consumer products should review the EU REACH PFHxA Restriction and the China Fabric Supply Chain and the broader 2024–2026 Global Textile Compliance Guide.

The product page does not state that this fabric is PFAS-free, REACH compliant, certified, or tested to a particular restricted-substance or performance standard. Requirements vary by destination market, product category, intended use, finish, customer specification, and date of sale.

Before bulk production, buyers may need to request:

• Final composition and coating declarations
• SDS or TDS information for relevant coating and finishing chemicals
• Restricted-substance or PFAS declarations where required
• Available third-party test reports for the exact quality, color, finish, and production batch
• Flame-retardant, anti-static, tear, shrinkage, waterproofing, coating-adhesion, or colorfastness reports when these functions are specified
• Lot identification, production records, or traceability information
• Destination-specific packaging and labeling documentation
• Third-party testing support based on the buyer’s RSL, retailer protocol, or legal requirements

Communicate all mandatory standards before sampling and quotation. Supporting documents may depend on the final specification, production route, batch, destination market, and requested testing program.
