APPLICATIONS:
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.
A Sheet with Two Working Faces
PVC on both sides gives the converter two polymer surfaces around the polyester base. This construction matters when arranging overlaps, turning panels and planning internal faces. DLT-5831 is listed at 600gsm, but weight alone does not determine how a finished pannier will carry a load. Review the stated strength and peel data together with the mounting detail, seam position and any additional local reinforcement.
From Flat Roll to Shaped Bag
A pannier introduces repeated folds and concentrated forces around its fittings. The material sheet lists hot-air welding, high-frequency welding and sewing, giving the converter several ways to build those details. Trial the selected process on the actual colour and finish. Include the mounting reinforcement and closure in the assembly so that the sample represents the finished construction rather than only an uncomplicated straight joint.
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.
| Specification | Configuration |
|---|---|
| 10 L Example | 34 cm closed height × 19 cm diameter |
| 22 L Example | 52 cm closed height × 22 cm diameter |
| 35 L Example | 60 cm closed height × 27.5 cm diameter |
| Top Closure | Roll top with a stiffener strip and side-release buckle |
| Closure Allowance | The example sizes use 3–4 rolls; the open bag is approximately 20 cm taller |
| Base Construction | Reinforced bottom panel with a separate bottom holding loop |
| Attachment Points | D-rings and buckle connections on reinforced attachment areas |
| Water-Exposure Check | Confirm 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.

A PVC and Polyester Composite for Pannier Construction
DLT-5831 is a 600gsm bag fabric with PVC faces around a woven polyester base. The listed reinforcement uses 500D × 500D yarn at 18 × 17 threads per inch. This is a composite sheet: the yarn network and the polymer faces have different roles, even though they arrive at the bag maker as one roll. The PVC provides the working surfaces for panel joining, while the woven base gives the material a textile structure across both directions.
The production route is not specified in the current record, so the layer sequence should not be treated as evidence of knife coating. Hot-air welding, high-frequency welding and sewing are listed as subsequent fabrication methods. For bicycle panniers, the conversion detail extends beyond the main panel: mounting points, folded corners, internal stiffeners and closures all affect how the roll material performs in the assembled bag. A smooth welded area and a stitched attachment require different preparation and inspection.
DLT-5831 has listed tensile values of 1500/1300N per 5cm, tear values of 210/180N and peel adhesion of 90N per 5cm. Keep these units with the values when comparing samples; tear and tensile figures are different tests. The stated width range is 1.05–3.2m and roll lengths range from 50–500m. Use the intended pannier shape to assess panel yield, then examine a representative mount and seam assembly. Colour and other custom options belong in the agreed material specification rather than being assumed for every roll.
