What is the main applications of oxford fabric material?

There are fabrics that have gained popularity for their special properties - Oxford is one of them.
The material under this name is wear-resistant and does not lend itself to dirt due to the special type of weaving of fibers.
However, Oxford fabric can have different characteristics, due not only to the weaving, but also to the properties of the raw materials used, coating or impregnation.

Oxford fabric is one of the most popular in the world. A characteristic feature is the interlacing of the main threads and weft threads not one by one, but in whole groups.
The result is a relief texture of the surface, reminiscent of convex squares in a checkerboard pattern, or the surface of a wicker basket. Thanks to this weaving technology, the fabric acquires increased strength and density.
And whatever is sewn from this durable and dense material!

Ⅰ, What is the Oxford fabric material?
The key characteristic of the material is the way of weaving the threads, which has several names - basket, Panamanian or matting.
If you look closely at the canvas, you can see the structure of Oxford - relatively large squares formed by weft and warp threads (see photo).
The density of Oxford is determined by the thickness of the threads, their number in each square, the degree and quality of the impregnation.
Originated in the United Kingdom, named after the University of Oxford traditional combed cotton, Oxford cloth began in 1900 or so.

Ⅱ，Specifications for the oxford fabric material
The fabric based on nylon threads is wear-resistant, very lightweight, and has elastic properties.
If the basis of the material is a synthetic polyester thread, the fabric comes out less durable, but capable of perfectly resisting temperature effects.
The water-repellent coating is of great importance, which gives the material additional properties:

The PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coating makes the base more dense, has better water-repellent qualities than polyurethane. At the same time, the fabric impregnated with PVC is stiffer, rolls up worse, and takes up more space.
The PU (polyurethane) coating is elastic, better than PVC, it withstands sub-zero temperatures. Polyurethane-coated fabric is not only water-repellent, but also folds well without losing properties at the folds.

Ⅲ, Advantages for the oxford fabric material
Thanks to the special weaving of the fibers, the fabric repels dirt and is very durable.
However, it is better to choose it, looking back at the composition, depending on the purpose.
Nylon fabric is more durable than polyester fabric. In addition, nylon drapes better, it is easier to create products of complex cut from it due to its good elasticity.
Polyester fabric withstands prolonged exposure to sunlight more effectively, is not afraid of high temperatures and withstands chemical attack.

Ⅳ,disadvantages for the oxford fabric material
Oxford fabric also has disadvantages that you should keep in mind when buying material:

The fabric made of synthetic fiber coated with polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride is poorly breathable, does not "breathe".
This material tolerates low temperatures well, but in the cold it becomes hard and makes a rustling sound when moving.
Nylon Oxford is afraid of open fire - a spark from a fire can burn a hole. In addition, nylon thread tends to accumulate static electricity.
Polyester webbing is less susceptible to burning, but its strength is lower than that of nylon fabric.

Ⅴ,Application area for the oxford fabric material
Low density oxford (up to 240 den) is used for sewing clothes, as well as for making light shoes. According to the reviews of companies that are engaged in upholstered furniture hauling, Oxford 240-320 den is ideal for home textiles.

210-240 D - from this fabric they sew tourist accessories, a uniform for employees of law enforcement agencies. A similar material is suitable for the manufacture of backpacks, vests and light shoes.

Fabric with a density over 600 D is used for the manufacture of covers for heavy objects, car tents, trade tents, etc.

Ⅵ, Care features for the oxford fabric material
Due to its ability to repel dirt, this fabric does not need to be washed frequently.

If necessary, dirt can be easily removed under running water. Products made from this material, regardless of density, can be machine washed at 30 ° C using liquid detergents.
After washing, the garments can be tumble dried at a low temperature.
Ironing should be done with low iron heating - no higher than 110 ° C.

Ⅶ, The price  for the Oxford fabric material
The cost of the material is low, due to the unnatural composition, and depends on the density and impregnation
