1. Чи кордура така ж хороша, як кевлар?
No. Kevlar is for extreme strength—think bulletproof vests and stab-proof gear. Cordura’s tough and great against scrapes, but it’s not ballistic.
2. Чи дорога тканина Cordura?
It costs more than basic nylon or polyester but is more affordable than specialty materials like Kevlar or Dyneema.
3. Чи міцніша кордура за шкіру?
For resisting wear and tear, yes—especially thick versions like 1000D Cordura can outlast leather. But leather’s better at handling punctures and feels more flexible naturally.
4. Чи плавиться кордура?
Yes, it can—since it’s usually nylon, it melts at around 255°C to 265°C (491°F to 509°F). It’s not flame-resistant unless specially treated for that purpose.
5. Is Cordura fabric Breathable?
Not much—it’s too tightly woven. That said, some Cordura gear adds breathable coatings or mesh to help air flow, like in jackets or backpacks.
6. Чи можна прати тканину Cordura?
Yes. Use cold water and mild detergent. Avoid hot water, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the fabric or its coating.
7. Чи є кордура водонепроникною?
It’s water-resistant with coatings like PU (polyurethane) or DWR (Durable Water Repellent), but not 100% waterproof. For that, it needs an extra membrane or lining.
8. Що міцніше за кордуру?
Fabrics like Kevlar, Dyneema, and Spectra are stronger than Cordura in terms of tensile strength and cut resistance. They’re used in things like body armor and high-performance outdoor gear.
9. Кордура тягнеться?
No, it’s stiff due to its dense weave. Some blends with spandex or other stretch fibers give it a little flexibility, though.
10. Кордура стійка до ударів ножем?
No. It’s awesome for durability but won’t stop a knife or sharp object like Kevlar can.
11. Який матеріал схожий на кордуру?
Ballistic Nylon, Ripstop Nylon, and heavy-duty Polyester are close matches. Балістичний нейлон especially rivals Cordura for toughness and abrasion resistance.
