You will often see material descriptions stating that the material is 600D, so what does it mean!

Denier is the unit of measuring that is utilised to define the fiber thickness of individual threads or filaments utilised in the formation of textiles and fabrics. Fabrics with a higher denier count tend to be thicker, more sturdy, and durable. Fabrics with a lower denier count tend to be less sheer, soft, and silky. 600d polyester fabric exactly means single strand of 9000 meters silk its weight 600 gram.The same definition to 600D, 300D,400D,500D,210D polyester fabric.

Many clothing products are made from 600d polyester material like backpacks, Duty gear, Load bearing vest, camping gear. So, is it a durable fabric? What is the service life of the products?. Along with 300D nylon, 400D nylon, and 1680D, 600D polyester is one of the favourite materials used by many manufacturers,due to it’s well-known durability, strength, and the reasonable pricing. Strength tested,600D polyester PVC backing to tear up with 300N strength,and 600D polyester PU backing to tear up with 130N strength. So its very strong and suitable for a large range of everyday products needing durability and strength all in one.
