Double-wall or drop stitch fabric is becoming increasingly popular with applications such as inflatables, paddle boards, gym mats, and more.
Our advanced hot-air technology machine welds double wall fabrics, ensuring air and water tight seams for various applications.
What Is Double-Wall / Dropstitch?
It’s a coated nylon joined by thousands of vertical fibers that are uniform in size. The distance of fibers can vary in sizes and the panels are covered with polymer coatings to form an air tight cavity. When double-wall (dropstitch) fabric is welded into the desired shape and pressurized with air, it is transformed into a strong, hard surface.
The welding process often utilizes hot air heating to precisely control temperatures, ensuring strong and durable bonds.
Double-Wall Fabric Benefits:
Double-wall fabrics can be used to manufacture inflatable products that are lightweight and easy to transport yet are rigid and structurally stable.
- Created using a 3D weaving process
- Has a smooth surface structure
- 85% more tensile strength than knitted drop-stitch fabric
- Favorable adhesion during the welding process
- Our welding machines come as a complete machine, fully assembled and ready for immediate use, ensuring a seamless production process.
Products Produced Using Double-Wall Fabrics Include:
- Paddle Boards
- Inflatable Boat Bottoms
- Athletic Mats
- Water Mats
- Air Tracks
- Inflatable Dock Systems
- Cushions to Secure Cargo
- Work Tents
- Inflatable Molds
- Absorption Cushions
- And more...
With the characteristics of this material combined with the welding process, the possibilities are endless. Is double-wall fabric right for your applications
How is Double-Wall / Dropstitch Material Cut?
Double-wall fabric is recommended to be cut with an ultrasonic cutter. An ultrasonic cutter allows. patterns to be precisely cut; producing clean, straight edges when welding.
- First you will align the top and bottom panels for the fibers to match up
- Mark your pattern where you want to cut
- Clamp your material together and cut the pattern with Miller Weldmaster's Ultrasonic Cutter
- Start welding your sidewall fabric. We recommend our T300 Extreme Curve Double-Wall for welding double-wall / dropstitch material
