Project Specifications
Manufacturing Details
1. Material Preparation
Base Material: A woven polyester/Hytrel composite with a reinforced structure designed for high-stress applications.
Fiber Composition: Carefully blended to achieve optimal stiffness, elasticity, and tensile strength.
2. Weaving and Finishing
Weaving: The Dymetrol fabric was woven using precision looms to create a consistent, uniform pattern that supports weight distribution.
Finishing: A stiffening treatment was applied to achieve the client’s exact stiffness specifications without compromising flexibility or performance.
3. Slitting and Re-Rolling
The woven fabric was slit to 82 inches of usable width and re-rolled into 50-yard rolls for ease of handling.
Each roll was inspected during re-rolling to ensure consistent length, tension, and edge quality.
4. Packaging and Logistics
Rolls were moisture-protected and securely wrapped to withstand transport.
All shipments were labeled according to the client’s specifications, with skid counts and carton counts clearly documented on each bill of lading.
Deliveries were scheduled to avoid Friday shipments requiring forklift unloading unless pre-arranged.
