Taslan fabric - what is it: description and characteristics

Description

The description of taslan fabric is as follows: this material is extremely light and durable. The fibers, thanks to rep weave, form a scar on the surface of the fabric that is barely visible to the eye. Because of this feature, the material rustles, so it is not suitable for hunting or fishing; it is better to buy such things for purposes where there is no need to maintain silence.

Taslan is 100% artificial material. The trick of taslan is its additional impregnation, which gives additional properties to the material.

Taslan can be of different densities, depending on the thickness of the fibers used in its manufacture.

185t - thin
228t – more dense
330t – the densest

Photographs of this material will help us get an idea of what kind of fabric taslan is. Let's look at the photo.

Raw materials and production

The fabric is produced by rep weaving, in which small scars appear on the surface of the material. Thanks to this, its strength increases, and the canvas becomes a little rough in feel, although it can be matte or smooth in appearance.

Surface of the material

The material owes its protective properties to a special polymer layer; it is applied to it from the inside. The porous structure of this polymer does not allow cold air and moisture to pass through from the front side, and, conversely, allows air and moisture to pass out, preventing the latter from remaining on the skin.

There is a wide variety of such fabric. The classic type is called Nylon Taslan or (N) Taslan. This is a traditional water-repellent material for the production of raincoats and outerwear, which is created from threads of different thicknesses. Light material is marked as 185T, dense - 330T.

For your information! To increase strength, the material is reinforced with stronger threads, adding them in transverse or longitudinal weaving.

Kinds

As we have already said, impregnation provides additional protective characteristics to taslan fabric.

What kind of membrane impregnation is applied to the canvas can be understood by looking at the markings. Let's figure out what it means if the taslan label says “milky” or “rip stop”.

If the marking indicates Rip-Stop or R/S, it means that stronger fibers have been added to the taslan, and the material itself, accordingly, has also become stronger
“Milky” is a white polymer layer that is applied from the reverse side. Milky ensures waterproofness of the fabric and also prevents filler fibers from penetrating the surface of the fabric
“PU” - this layer is colorless, and therefore can be applied both from the back and from the front side. What does this give to the taslan material? This impregnation gives the fabric the properties of artificial leather and guarantees increased protection from moisture.
"PU 3000" or higher. This taslan is considered waterproof; the numbers in this case indicate the height of the water column
“PU foam” means that the impregnation was applied by spraying
“WR” is a water-repellent impregnation, after application of which moisture rolls off the fabric in drops
“Hi-Pora” is a membrane impregnation that provides the product with increased breathability.

The price per meter also depends on the impregnation and starts from 100 rubles.

Fabric composition and characteristics

Taslan has incredible lightness combined with high strength.
Synthetic taslan fabric consists of 100% polyamide fibers (nylon). On the inside, a special porous coating is applied to the fabric, which not only protects the human body from the penetration of moisture and cold air from the outside, but also removes fumes to the outside.

Unlike other materials of the same kind, taslan has incredible lightness combined with high strength. The weight of 1 m² of material is about 180 g.

Thanks to the rep weave of fibers, a small scar is formed on the surface of the fabric, barely noticeable to the touch. This fabric structure increases the strength of the product. Visually, the surface of the canvas can be either absolutely smooth, with a slight shine, or matte.

About raincoat fabrics

When choosing what material a thing will be sewn from, everyone is based on their preferences. Therefore, everyone must decide for themselves what is better, taslan or, for example, a membrane. Here are the fabrics that are considered the best in this segment, and which ones can be compared with taslan:

Taslan or cat's eye
Duspo (read about its features at the link);
Oxford fabric - characteristics in another article.
Nylon (properties and benefits follow the link);
Taslan or alova - which is better if products made from these materials are very similar in all respects.

Waterproof plus water repellent. Drops of liquid will simply roll down the surface
Maintains color brightness - does not fade in the sun
The products are very easy to care for
Does not absorb sweat and fat
A huge advantage of products made from this material is the fact that under constant and fairly strong influence of aggressive external factors, taslan retains all its properties.

Fabric properties

Numerous studies and customer reviews confirm that the performance characteristics of this material are extremely high:

very durable and lightweight;
technologically advanced in manufacturing and sewing;
resistant to wear, abrasion, deformation, bending, ultraviolet radiation;
slightly hygroscopic and dries quickly;
repels water and dirt, and is also resistant to sweat and grease;
waterproof;
removes air and evaporation from the surface of the skin;
Easy to clean even at home.

Products made from rep nylon with water-repellent impregnation are comfortable, durable and beautiful; their performance characteristics and attractive appearance are maintained even with repeated washing and intense exposure to external factors.

Taslan has the following performance characteristics:

wear resistance. Resistant to numerous friction, bending, pulling and other mechanical influences. It is tear resistant;
ease. Despite its high density, the material has a low specific gravity;
breathability. Taslan allows the skin to breathe, does not interfere with air penetration and does not create a “greenhouse effect”;
waterproof . Thanks to the water-repellent impregnation, the material does not allow water to pass through and does not get wet. Drops of water falling on the material simply roll off it without being absorbed;
resistance to sebum and sweat. Thanks to the same impregnation, sebum and sweat are not absorbed into the fabric and do not clog its pores;
ability to remove moisture. It does not absorb moisture from the surface of the body, but removes it outside, thereby helping to maintain a favorable microclimate;
low hygroscopicity. The material does not absorb moisture, due to which it dries very quickly;
resistance to ultraviolet rays. The fabric does not collapse and does not lose its properties even with regular direct exposure to sunlight;
ease of care. Taslan products are easy to care for at home.

Application

What are they sewing from this material? First of all, those things that are constantly exposed to external influences.

Sports outerwear and activewear. Jackets made from this material are resistant to any weather. The addition of insulation allows these clothes to be used for winter sports, such as skiing or snowboarding. A taslan suit with many pockets is very popular. It's called "Gorka".
Children's outerwear. In this case, Taslan will be an ideal option, because things made from it do not allow water to pass through, but at the same time breathe. They are difficult to tear, and dirt can be wiped off with an ordinary napkin.
Durable and waterproof material is good for making bags and backpacks, as well as protective gloves and hats
This material proved to be excellent as a covering for furniture.

Application area

This fabric is used mainly to create outerwear: from jackets to winter pants. It is also used to make warm linings, sew special overalls, sports and ski suits.

Suit "Saboteur"

Children's clothes are made from taslan. High-quality jackets, coats, pants and overalls look good, do not tear, do not restrict movement and are very light. These are great items for bad weather, especially since kids love running through puddles or rolling around in snowdrifts. Dirt from the surface of these items can be cleaned with a wet cloth; no other special care is required.

Rompers

In addition, things for an active lifestyle or sports are sewn from taslan. In this case, the same characteristics are important as when sewing children's clothes. If a person is involved in skiing, then bad weather should not be a reason to give up his favorite hobby; you just need a water-repellent suit with reinforced threads. For extreme sports, it is better to buy a more expensive suit, but for ordinary walks in the winter, a simpler (inexpensive) option will suffice.

You can also find protective accessories from taslan: hats, backpacks, scarves that will not get wet and prevent you from freezing. They will be a good addition to a winter or all-season suit.

Taslan gloves

Upholstery for furniture that is installed in shopping centers, restaurants and other public places is also made from this material. Furniture upholstered in taslan looks quite beautiful (but it will not be like premium material), is durable and is relatively cheap.

Note! Many reviews say that this material is very durable and also lasts a long time. Thin fabric will be flexible, it drapes well and can be used to sew original things. Hi-Pora and PU Ultra fabric are difficult to cut, and sewing can only be done on a special machine.
