The History and Evolution of Sailcloth Market: From Canvas to High-Tech Fibers

Sailcloth has been under the spotlight for quite some time now on account of it excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It is durable, abrasion resistant, and highly advanced hence considered suitable for building tents and sails.

Thanks to technological advancements manufacturers are able to use sailcloth material for spinning diverse items. For instance, a sailcloth has become a preferred fabric to engineer sturdy backpacks. Meanwhile, because of its impressive resistance to heat, sailcloth continues to be used in regular boat sails and cruise sails.

Among various fabric types sailcloth is spun into, aramid sailcloth witnesses considerably high demand. Aramid fabric is lightweight, heat resistant, and demonstrates better resistance to stretch. It is therefore one of the leading choices for laminated cruising sails and racing sails.
