Container Material Question

Recommended Posts

"Foam laminated parapack". Supposedly ParaGear used to sell it but I've only been able to get it from container manufacturers. There are different weights / thicknesses used by different manufacturers, so your best bet is to just call around and see what you can find.

200 to 400 denier, nylon para-pack or oxford cloth with open-cell foam bonded to to the backside.
Flame-bonded foam used to be fashionable, but the process made too many toxic fumes (only during production) that it fell out of fashion. Ever since then foam-backed fabric has been difficult to find. A few mills now glue foam onto Oxford cloth, but it is difficult to find.

The material is not a PIA-SPEC, (mil-spec) material so each manufacturer has their own material specifications. If you want to match a specific manufacturer call them.

Here is a link to a foam backed nylon oxford.
