Product description
The Fabric (style #4832, black in color) is of lOO% woven nylon oxford construction (400Dx280D/48x32) and has been laminated on one side with a polyvinyle chloride plastics material. Your specifications indicate that the warp is composed of 400 denier filament yarns with a weft or filling of 280 denier filament yarns. Our New York Customs laboratory found 410 and 413 deniers, respectively. Although the exact denier is not relevant to the steal classification of such material, it could cause problems in relating and identifying a shipment of this quality with the fabric or quality described and ruled upon in this letter. It is suggested that you confer with the manufacturer on the actual manufacturing specifications of the material. The stated weights are very close to the analyzed weights, therefore the difference is of no consequence. They are as follows: ..Customs Lab Yarn size (warp) 400 denier Yarn size (weft) denier 413 denier Warp yarns per inch per inch 32 32 Wt. before lamination 3.96oz/sq.yd. (28.1%) .... 10.15oz/sq.yd. (71.9%) 10.77oz/sq.yd. (72.3%) Total weight of fabric 14.lloz/sq.yd. (100%) ./sq.yd. (100%)
