NuWa's Abrasion and Hybrid Design
Fabric Developments
by Beth Cochran
Abrasion is a pack and luggage killer, as worn-out, poor quality products populate many warranty rooms at luggage factory warehouses. Turning to chemistry, Nuwa® began working with coatings to create a tougher fabric to offer luggage and bag manufacturers. The process to perfect its new compound, NuHyde™, took nearly a year to develop. The result is a patent-pending coating that increases the abrasion resistance of its poly/nylon fabric as much as 450%.
