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%. When fabric yarns are fused with the NuHyde treatment, its high viscosity content creates an additional puncture-resistant barrier on the surface of the fabric without compromising the existing tear and tensile strength of the original fabric.
