Product Features

  • AntistaticOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. Helps manage electrostatic charge build-up in the fabric, giving manufacturers a material option for assemblies with specified static-control requirements.
  • Flame retardantOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. A flame-retardant formulation for fabricators supplying projects with defined fire-behaviour requirements. Select the grade around the test method required for the finished application.
  • Mildew resistantOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. A mildew-resistant formulation helps address surface growth in damp or humid service conditions and during storage between uses.

Understanding the Reinforcement

A 500D yarn designation describes yarn linear mass, while the 18 × 17 count describes how frequently yarns occur in the woven base. They answer different questions about the reinforcement. In DLT-5830, that base sits between PVC faces, so the outside appearance does not reveal every detail of the textile. Compare tensile, tear and adhesion data alongside the construction when reviewing a bag material.

Planning the Joints

Hot-air welding, high-frequency welding and sewing are listed conversion options for DLT-5830. The best joint depends on the bag design and equipment available to the converter. Include folded edges, strap patches and closures in a trial assembly. Where the bag must limit water entry, review the complete seam and closure arrangement as well as the PVC sheet itself; a coated face does not seal every assembled opening.

Application requirements — Waterproof Bags

Specify the finished size, contents, carried load, closure design and the way handles or straps attach. Review tear propagation, abrasion, coating adhesion and the reinforcement around seams and attachment points. Agree the intended water-exposure level and a finished-bag test method rather than inferring protection from the sheet material alone.

Finished Roll-Top Dry-Bag Configurations

These dimensions describe closed roll-top bags. Leave sufficient fabric above the usable compartment to form the closure.

Finished-Product Configuration Examples

35 L Example60 cm closed height × 27.5 cm diameter
Top ClosureRoll top with a stiffener strip and side-release buckle
Closure AllowanceThe example sizes use 3–4 rolls; the open bag is approximately 20 cm taller
Base ConstructionReinforced bottom panel with a separate bottom holding loop
Attachment PointsD-rings and buckle connections on reinforced attachment areas
Water-Exposure CheckConfirm the finished closure and seam test; a roll-top bag is not automatically suitable for immersion

Construction Details

Roll-Top Opening

The stiffener helps form an even roll across the opening. Usable volume is measured with the required closure rolls already made.

Bottom Panel And Loop

The base and its joint carry repeated packing contact. A bottom loop can assist holding or securing the bag, with its attachment assessed separately from the body fabric.

PVC Faces and a Woven Core for Equipment Bags

DLT-5830 combines a woven polyester base with PVC on both faces. Its 500D × 500D yarn and 18 × 17 threads per inch describe the reinforcement inside the sheet. The polyester provides a textile framework, while the PVC faces form the exposed material that the bag maker cuts, joins and handles. The listed weight is 500gsm for the complete composite, rather than the weight of its polyester core alone.

The layer description does not identify a particular coating or lamination route. It does, however, identify hot-air welding, high-frequency welding and sewing as fabrication methods. These describe ways of making the bag after the roll material has been produced. A welded joint joins compatible PVC surfaces; a sewn joint makes a line of needle penetrations and may require a separate sealing detail where water entry matters. Handles, buckles and load-bearing straps need their own attachment design.

The table lists tensile values of 1283/1120N per 5cm and an adhesion value of 65N per 5cm. These measurements describe different parts of the composite: tension acts through the sheet, while adhesion concerns the bond between its layers. When selecting equipment bag panels, consider the fabric where corners fold, where contents rub and where reinforcement patches overlap. A sample bag section gives a more useful view of seam bulk and handling than a flat colour swatch alone. The available width is 1.05–3.2m, with roll length selected within the listed 50–500m range.
