Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

Recycled-polyester composition

The fabric is specified as 100% recycled polyester. This makes it suitable for buyers developing products with recycled-material requirements or seeking an alternative to virgin-polyester taffeta.

If a sourcing program requires verified recycled content, chain-of-custody information, transaction documentation, or a particular certification scheme, communicate that requirement before quotation and sampling. The product page identifies the material as recycled polyester but does not specify a particular certification or verification standard.

190T and 210T constructions

Both 190T and 210T options are available. The selected density can influence coverage, opacity, body, surface uniformity, coating behavior, and end-product cost. A 210T option will generally provide a denser construction than 190T, but the exact performance difference should be evaluated using physical samples of the required finish.

Lightweight taffeta character

The source describes this taffeta as lightweight and durable. Taffeta construction normally provides a relatively smooth surface and light body, making the fabric easy to handle in linings, lightweight shells, covers, and decorative components.

Actual softness, crispness, drape, noise, opacity, and skin comfort can change with density, coating, color, and finishing. Buyers should approve a finished sample rather than relying on the base-fabric description alone.

Plain-dyed and coated options

The fabric may be supplied plain dyed or with silver, PA, PU, or PVC coating. These alternatives are not identical products: each coating can change the fabric’s appearance, hand feel, weight, flexibility, opacity, water resistance, sewing behavior, and suitability for direct skin contact.

The source also describes the material as suitable for dyeing and printing. Printing method, artwork reproduction, colorfastness, coating compatibility, and MOQ should be confirmed through development trials.

Key Product Features

Custom colors

Colors can be developed according to customer requirements. A lab dip normally takes 3–5 days, while a plain-color approval sample normally takes 7–10 days.

Provide the required color standard, such as a Pantone reference or physical swatch, together with information about the intended coating and end use. Color approval should be completed on the final construction whenever coating or finishing could affect shade.

Lightweight and durable construction

The fabric is promoted as lightweight, durable, and resistant to wear and tear. These characteristics support applications where buyers want manageable weight and practical service life.

Required tear strength, abrasion resistance, seam strength, or repeated-use performance should nevertheless be defined by the buyer and confirmed through testing when these factors are critical.

Configurable functional properties

Waterproof, flame-retardant, anti-static, tear-resistant, and shrink-resistant features are listed for this product. Buyers should treat these as specification-dependent properties rather than assume every plain-dyed or coated version includes every function.

Before sampling, identify the required property, test method, performance level, intended market, and wash or durability requirement. FabricsTrades can then confirm the feasible construction, treatment, and available supporting documents.

Flexible commercial configuration

The product supports custom colors, several coating routes, OEM service, logo customization, printing evaluation, and custom packaging. This allows the fabric to be adapted for private-label, garment, accessory, and home-textile programs, subject to technical feasibility and MOQ.

Quantity-based pricing

Pricing is determined by the required quality and order quantity. The source page states that online pricing is divided into three quantity levels and that higher quantities may receive more favorable pricing. Request a project-specific quotation for the selected density, finish, color, testing requirement, and delivery terms.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Umbrellas and rain-related accessories

The lightweight taffeta structure and available coated configurations make this fabric relevant to umbrella canopies and related rain-accessory programs. A suitable coating can contribute to water resistance while the low fabric weight helps keep the finished product manageable.

For umbrella development, buyers should confirm waterproofness, water repellency, coating adhesion, tear strength, seam performance, colorfastness, UV exposure requirements, and resistance around rib and tip attachment points. Needle holes and seams can affect water penetration, so the completed umbrella—not only the fabric—should be tested.

Plain-dyed fabric should not automatically be treated as waterproof. Specify the required coating and performance standard before sampling.

Bags, luggage, purses, and totes

The fabric can be used for bag and luggage linings, internal compartments, lightweight covers, drawstring bags, packing components, and selected exterior panels.

For lining applications, its lightweight structure and smooth taffeta surface can help reduce bulk and allow contents to move without excessive friction. Custom colors also support brand coordination.

For exterior panels exposed to repeated abrasion, heavy loads, or sharp objects, buyers should evaluate whether the 190T or 210T construction provides sufficient strength. Reinforcement, backing, lamination, or a heavier alternative may be necessary. Confirm abrasion resistance, tear strength, seam slippage, coating adhesion, and color transfer through prototype testing.

Garment linings, coats, and jackets

Recycled polyester taffeta can be considered for linings in coats, jackets, skirts, dresses, uniforms, and other garments. Its lightweight character helps limit bulk, while a smooth surface may make garments easier to put on and remove.

For lining programs, evaluate hand feel, breathability, static behavior, opacity, seam slippage, perspiration colorfastness, and compatibility with the shell fabric. The listed anti-static option may be relevant where static control is required, but the specific treatment and performance must be confirmed.

A coated version may also be evaluated for lightweight outer shells or rainwear. Shell applications require testing appropriate to the final garment, including water resistance, seam leakage, coating durability, comfort, and laundering performance.

Sleepwear and direct-skin-contact garments

Sleepwear appears among the product’s listed applications. Suitability will depend strongly on the selected finish and the buyer’s comfort expectations.

A plain-dyed option may be more appropriate for evaluation than a stiff or impermeable coating, but buyers should still assess softness, breathability, static, seam comfort, chemical requirements, and wash performance. Approval through a finished-garment sample is recommended before bulk production.

Bedding and home textiles

Potential home-textile uses include lightweight covers, decorative panels, internal layers, bedding components, storage products, and protective or backing materials.

The final use should determine the required density, coating, colorfastness, flame behavior, washability, and skin-contact performance. For bedding or other products used close to the body, confirm comfort and chemical requirements for the destination market.

Sofa and upholstery components

For sofa-related products, this lightweight taffeta may be more appropriate for concealed linings, dust covers, backing, internal barriers, or decorative components than for a primary seating surface exposed to continuous abrasion.

If the fabric is intended for visible upholstery or a high-wear area, conduct abrasion, seam, tensile, tear, colorfastness, and flame-performance testing. Reinforcement or a more substantial construction may be required.

Toys and decorative products

Custom colors and the fabric’s light structure can support selected toy components, costumes, decorative panels, flags, covers, and craft products.

Toy applications can have specific chemical, mechanical, flammability, and small-component requirements. Buyers should communicate the destination market, age group, accessibility of the fabric, and required testing before production.

Interlining and internal garment components

The product may be evaluated for lightweight internal layers or interlining-related uses where low bulk and coverage are priorities. It should not be assumed to provide fusibility, stiffness, or bonding performance unless the required backing or treatment is specifically developed.

Test adhesion, heat response, dimensional stability, strike-through, hand feel, and compatibility with the face fabric when bonding or lamination is required.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

Confirm weight and usable width

The source lists a weight of 80–95 g/m without clarifying whether this is a linear or area-based measurement. Confirm the intended unit and approved tolerance before costing or consumption planning.

The source also gives both 57–67 in and 150–170 cm. Since these ranges do not precisely correspond, confirm the finished width, usable cuttable width, edge allowance, and tolerance.

Select the density by application

Request both 190T and 210T samples when coverage, opacity, body, or coating quality is important. The denser option may not automatically be preferable if the project prioritizes softness, lower weight, or cost.

Match the coating to the finished product

Silver, PA, PU, and PVC coatings can produce different results. Confirm:

• Required coated side and appearance
• Target hand feel and flexibility
• Water-resistance requirement
• Opacity and light-blocking expectations
• Coating adhesion and aging performance
• Sewing, sealing, lamination, or bonding method
• Chemical and restricted-substance requirements
• Care and cleaning conditions

Do not approve the base fabric when the bulk order will use a coated construction; approve a sample containing the intended coating.

Control cutting and sewing

Lightweight polyester taffeta can be susceptible to edge fraying, seam puckering, or needle marking if unsuitable sewing settings are used. Garment and product manufacturers should trial a fine, sharp needle, compatible thread, controlled tension, appropriate stitch density, and a suitable edge finish.

For waterproof constructions, evaluate whether stitched seams need sealing or another water-management method.

Evaluate lining and opacity

Opacity can vary with density, color, and coating. Light colors or uncoated constructions may require lining or layering depending on the finished design. Inspect the fabric under the lighting conditions expected in the final application.

Approve color and finishing

Complete the lab dip, approval sample, and—where required—pre-production sample before bulk production. Set acceptable shade tolerance and confirm whether approval applies to the plain-dyed fabric or the final coated material.

Establish care requirements by specification

The source does not provide a care label or cleaning method. Care requirements should be established from the final coating, color, construction, and end product. Conduct washing, dry-cleaning, heat, shrinkage, and appearance-retention testing when relevant.

Although shrink resistance is listed as a feature, no test method or result is stated. Confirm the required standard and request available evidence or arrange testing before bulk approval.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Customization options

Available or source-described services include:

• Custom colors
• Plain-dyed fabric
• Silver, PA, PU, or PVC coating
• Printing evaluation
• OEM service
• Logo customization
• Custom roll lengths and packaging
• Alternative specification or product-development evaluation

Logo customization may relate to the fabric, product, label, or packaging depending on the project. Confirm the intended logo method, position, artwork, durability requirement, and MOQ.

MOQ and sampling

The standard MOQ is 2,000 meters per color.

A lab dip normally requires 3–5 days. A plain-color approval sample normally requires 7–10 days. Timing for coated, printed, specially treated, or newly developed samples may differ and should be confirmed.

Production lead time and capacity

The source lists a bulk-production lead time of 3–20 days. It also states daily output of up to 150,000 meters and monthly production capacity exceeding 3 million meters.

These figures do not guarantee immediate capacity for every specification. Confirm allocation based on density, coating, color count, order quantity, testing, approval status, and production schedule.

Packaging

Standard roll lengths are 50, 100, or 200 meters per roll. Packing can also be arranged according to buyer requirements.

The source lists usual container quantities of approximately:

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

Actual loading quantity will depend on roll length, width, coating, packing method, gross weight, and container restrictions.

Shipping

The listed shipping methods are express and sea freight. Express may be suitable for samples or small shipments, while sea freight is generally more practical for bulk fabric. Freight cost, transit time, insurance, customs documents, and Incoterms should be confirmed in the quotation.

Payment terms

For first-time clients, the source states a typical payment arrangement of 30% down payment and 70% before shipping by T/T. Elsewhere on the same page, the balance is described as 70% upon receipt of a copy of the bill of lading.

Because these descriptions differ, confirm the exact balance-payment milestone in the proforma invoice before placing the order.

For repeat clients, L/C may be considered, and other payment terms may be negotiated. Available payment methods for samples should be confirmed separately.

Factory visits

Factory visits are welcomed. The source states that airport or railway-station pickup can be arranged. Confirm the date, location, contact person, and pickup details in advance.

2024–2026 Fabric Regulations & Compliance Update

EU REACH PFHxA restriction

Buyers using coated or water-resistant versions for garments, umbrellas, bags, luggage, or other consumer products may need to review the EU REACH PFHxA Restriction.

The restriction includes application dates beginning on October 10, 2026 for specified consumer clothing, accessories, and footwear uses, with a later date for certain other consumer textiles. This does not mean that the fabric contains PFHxA or that every waterproof treatment uses fluorinated chemistry.

Before production, communicate any PFAS- or PFHxA-related restricted-substance requirement and confirm the coating chemistry, declaration format, testing method, detection limits, and destination-market rules.

ESPR and Digital Product Passport

Recycled-polyester claims and textile traceability may also be relevant to buyers reviewing the EU’s ESPR and Digital Product Passport.

Depending on the final product, applicable delegated requirements, and implementation schedule, buyers may need structured information about material composition, recycled content, suppliers, batches, substances of concern, durability, repairability, or end-of-life handling.

Requirements vary by destination market, product category, use, finish, and date of sale. Confirm the applicable legal and retailer requirements before bulk production. Available supporting documents will depend on the final specification, batch, testing request, and supply-chain records.

When necessary, contact FabricsTrades to request available test reports, recycled-content documentation, certificates, declarations, technical data, traceability information, or third-party testing support. No certification or compliance status should be assumed unless it is confirmed for the specific order.
