Ripstop Fabric Details
Ripstop fabrics are woven fabrics often made out of nylon,
using a special reinforcing technique that makes them resistant to
tearing and ripping. During weaving (thick) reinforcement threads are
interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern. The intervals
are typically 5 to 8 millimeters (0.2 to 0.3 in). Thin and lightweight
ripstop fabrics have a 3-dimensional structure due to the thicker
threads being interwoven in thinner cloth. Older lightweight
ripstop-fabrics display the thicker interlocking thread patterns in the
material quite prominently, but more modern weaving techniques make the
ripstop threads less obvious. A similar effect can be achieved by
weaving two or three fine yarns together at smaller intervals.Advantages of ripstop are the favourable strength-to-weight ratio and that small tears can not easily spread. Fabrics used to make ripstop include cotton, silk, polyester, and polypropylene, with nylon content limited to the crosshatched threads that make it tear-resistant.
