40D RIPSTOP NYLON FABRIC
- EMMA KITES 40D Ripstop Nylon is ultra-light [48 GSM], durable, tear proof, airtight and water resistant [500~1000mm HH].
- Further enhanced by PU coating for better UV protection, extended service life and low stretch.

- From kites, windsocks, inflatables, flags to stuff sacks, bags, pack covers, extending to tarps, hammocks, and more.
Tear Proof
- Reinforced double threads spread across the fabric to form strong "Ripstop" grids that give fabrics significantly increased tear resistance and tensile strength.
- This exceptional advantage of ripstop nylon ensures that kites remain in top condition, even after enduring multiple hard impacts from the sky to the ground.
- Creates additional barriers for stuff sacks and bags to hold up against pokes of wood and thorns, rubbing from rough rocks.

- We can take advantage of this lightweight material to make things like (stuff sacks, bags, tarps, and ponchos) where weight savings are important, especially for outdoor use and portability.
- Ideal fabric weight for kites.
- Its lightweight nature allows kite sails and inflatables to maintain taut, full airfoil shapes in varying winds, optimizing performance.
Sewing Tips
- Being thin and of low stretch, the 40D ripstop nylon easy to sew with.
- The fabric is inherently slippery due to the Nylon material and PU coating.
- It's recommended to use ball pins, or Painters Tapes, an easy and quick way to hold seams in place.

I needed a wipe able table cloth for a sign in table. But I also needed it not to tear. This has held up very well!

I bought this fabric to make a signal panel similar to a military VS-17 signal panel. The finished panel is a little under 36X60 , has 6 peek-a-boo tie down points, and is hemmed all the way around for durability. The finished project can be used as a wind break, ground cloth, sun shelter, emergency signal device , or a way point marker. This panel weighs almost nothing and takes up little space in may backpack. The price was right and was delivered promptly.

This was great kite material to use for an art project, where I needed to do some sewing. Worked great and the material reminds me of what you'd find a windsock to be made from.

It was the exact material I was looking for. It was a little thinner than I excepted but I still loved it. Works perfect for horse tail bags.

After discovering that Louisiana allows hunters to wear blaze pink for safety as opposed to blaze orange, I went in search of blaze pink hunting apparel. After being unable to find many items for sale, I decided to make my own. This fabric is a good pic for blaze pink - it's a hot neon color that will show up good in the woods. Unfortunately, it is thin and a bit sheer, so I added a liner to my vest to solve that problem. The other thing I don't like is that the fabric is a bit shiny and noisy. It makes noise when I move, kind of like a plastic bag. I'm still looking for another fabric that to possibly make another. So, it is not ideal for what I bought it for, but it was definitely not a waste of time or money. I'll just keep hunting for another hot pink fabric that is a bit thicker and more quiet. In the meantime, I think my vest will do nicely. It was inexpensive and easy to cut and sew. And I think it came out pretty cute!!

I can't speak to how well this material works for kites and the like, but it makes wonderful banner material, which is what I purchased it for. It's very easy to cut it to the desired size with a rotary cutter, stitch it with a sewing machine, and paint on it with acrylic paint. The paint dries nicely on the surface and does not bleed through to the back, and the material is flexible enough so that the paint on the surface folds with the fabric and does not crack or peel off. I stitched the cut edges with a zigzag stitch to prevent minor raveling of the material; you don't need to do more than that, which is nice. I also stitched small round circles on the corners, cut out the inside of the circles, and used it with a rope to tie it up. It is lightweight, and the next banners I make will have a dowel rod sleeve on the top to keep the banner fairly straight while it's hanging inside of a pop-up canopy.If you're looking for a good material that will easily accept acrylic paint to use for homemade banners, this is an excellent solution.
