Raw Materials for Industrial Sewn Products

Textile Materials

Textile materials encompass a wide variety of essential fabrics, listed below. Natural fibers, like cotton, provide breathability, while synthetic options, like polyester and nylon, are more durable, often making them suitable for outdoor gear.

• Canvas
• Cotton
• Nylon
• Polyester
• Coated Fabrics
• FR Treated Fabrics
• Webbing
• Cording
• Mesh
• Scrim

Thermoplastic Materials

Thermoplastic materials become pliable when heated, allowing them to be easily shaped in many ways. Thermoplastics can be melted and reshaped multiple times without undergoing chemical changes. They are widely used across industries for applications like packaging and medical devices.

• ABS
• ABS Flame Retardant
• Acetal
• Acetal with Glass Fill
• Nylon 6
• Nylon 6/6
• Nylon with Glass Fill
• POM (Acetal Copolymer)
• HDPE (High-density Polyethylene)
• LDPE (Low-density Polyethylene)
• Polycarbonate
• PET (Polyethylene)
• PET-G (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified)
• PP (Polypropylene)
• PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• UHMW-PE (Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene)
• Silicone

Film Materials

Film materials offer durable, waterproof options for custom sewing projects, guaranteeing longer product life cycles and protection against the elements.

• Expanded/Support Vinyl (PVC or Urethane)
• EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)
• Laminates
• PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Polyolefin (Olefin)
• Urethane (PU) (TPU) (Ether-based or Ester-based)
• Polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE, MDPE, HDPE)
• BOPA (Biaxially-oriented Polyamide)
• BON (Biaxially-oriented Nylon)

Foam Materials

Foam materials provide cushioning and structural support within custom sewn products. Closed-cell foam, like EVA, provides shock absorption and water resistance, therefore it is often used for bag inserts or protective gear. Open-cell foam offers comfort and contouring, making it perfect for padding in various products. Various thicknesses and densities are available, allowing Polo Custom Products to meet your specific design needs.

• Open Cell
• Closed Cell
• Crosslink
• Urethane (Polyurethane)
• Polyethylene
• EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)
• Filter

Aramid Materials

Aramid materials are said to be stronger than steel. These synthetic fibers are known for their strength and resistance to heat, making them important to the fire/safety and military industries.

• Nomex
• Kevlar
• Twaron
• PBI

Non-woven Materials

As their name implies, non-woven materials and fabrics are not woven, but bonded together using methods of heat, chemicals, or mechanical processes. These materials can protect against droplets and the transmission of infectious agents, making them ideal for surgical masks, isolation gowns, and other critical components of the medical industry.

• Filtration Fabrics
• Medical Grade Non-wovens

Elastomeric Materials

Elastomeric materials are polymers that exhibit elasticity. Synthetic rubbers, like neoprene or silicone, allow the materials to be stretched and deformed, then still return to their original shape.

• Elastic
• Tricot
• Bungee Cord
• Shock Cord

Specialty Materials

• Seam Seal Tape
• Fiberglass
• Glass Mat
• Composites

• Instruction Sheets (IFU)
• Hangtags
• Retail Packaging
• Specialty Labels
• Plastic & Metal Hardware
• Injection Molded Parts
• Stamped Parts
• Formed Parts
• Custom or Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components
• Tubing
• Medical Grade Tubing
• Reflective Tape
