Product Features

  • Flame retardantA flame-retardant formulation for fabricators supplying projects with defined fire-behaviour requirements. Select the grade around the test method required for the finished application.

Semi-Coated Material Construction

DLT-5301 is identified as semi-coated, with a 1000D polyester base and PVC film faces. Keep the manufacturing description at that level unless the production route is confirmed for the order. Its 350gsm nominal mass covers the complete composite. When checking a sample, consider the layer bond and flexibility along with the surfaces that will become the inside and outside of a dog tunnel.

From Flat Roll to Supported Tunnel

A dog play tunnel adds hoops, sleeves, seams and anchoring to the DLT-5301 sheet. Those fabricated details need their own trial rather than relying on roll-material strength figures. Use a representative curved section to check folding, hoop containment and accessible edges. Colour can be specified separately from the listed yellow and black options. Animal-contact suitability must be established for the actual finished product and use.

Application requirements — Ventilation Ducts

Specify duct diameter and section length, positive or negative operating pressure, airflow conditions, connector design and suspension spacing. Review tensile and tear properties, coating adhesion, seam integrity and leakage in the assembled duct. Identify any required fire behaviour, static-control and temperature criteria for the installation; these must be checked against the selected configuration and applicable test evidence. Another application is dog play and agility tunnels. For these, specify the tunnel diameter, length, support hoops, anchoring and cleaning needs; assess the seams and the finished tunnel around the intended dogs and setting.

Duct Construction And Connections

Layflat Blowing Duct
DL

A welded top fin carries the suspension points. The end sleeve seals the connection between sections.

Spiral-Reinforced Extract Duct
DL

The reinforcement supports the duct wall during extraction. Wire specification and pitch follow the suction duty.

Dog Tunnel Fabric: A Flexible Reinforced Composite

DLT-5301 is a flexible PVC-and-polyester composite listed at 350gsm, with a stated tolerance of ±10gsm. Its structure is described as PVC film on each side of a polyester base, with 1000D reinforcement. The technology entry specifies semi-coated production. That wording should be retained rather than replaced with an unsupported knife-coating description.

The textile base gives the sheet its reinforcing framework, while the PVC faces form its exposed surfaces. The bond between those parts needs to remain distinct from the joints used to assemble a tunnel. The listed peeling value concerns the composite itself. It does not determine the strength of a stitched or welded connection, a hoop sleeve or an attachment added by the fabricator.

Yellow and black are listed, with custom colours available. The stated width range is 1.02m to 3.2m. For a dog play tunnel, select the width and colour around the proposed tube diameter, panel layout and support-hoop construction. A full-size section can show how the material bends between hoops and how the inside surface and seams behave in use.

The finished tunnel needs smooth, secured edges and an assembly suited to the intended users and setting. Inspect hoop containment, seams and anchoring separately from the roll fabric specification. The source lists a fire-class reference, which requires supporting documentation if relevant to the order. It supplies no animal-contact safety test, so that property should not be inferred from the proposed application.
