What Is Dipped Fabric?
Dipped fabric (also known as rubber-coated or rubber-impregnated fabric) is an industrial reinforcement material woven from high-strength polyester, nylon (NN), or EP yarns, and then impregnated with specially formulated rubber compounds.
Unlike ordinary canvas, dipped fabric is designed for high mechanical load, pressure resistance, and strong adhesion with rubber.
It’s a key structural layer widely used in conveyor belts, industrial hoses, rubber sheets, and outdoor sealing products.
Key Advantages of Our Dipped Fabric
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| ⚙️ High Strength & Dimensional Stability | Made with high-tenacity industrial yarns, ensuring uniform tension and resistance to deformation during high-load use. |
| Excellent Adhesion to Rubber | Dipping process enhances bonding strength between the fabric and rubber compound, preventing delamination or bubbling. |
| Durability & Chemical Resistance | Resistant to moisture, oil, and chemical exposure — ideal for harsh industrial environments. |
| Heat & Abrasion Resistance | Suitable for dynamic rubber products exposed to friction or high temperature. |
| Lightweight Yet Tough | Engineered balance between fabric thickness and tensile strength for easier processing and weight reduction. |
| Consistent Quality Control | Produced under precise weaving and dipping tension to ensure batch-to-batch stability. |

Case Study — Solving a Delamination Problem for an Automotive Client
A Southeast Asian automotive parts manufacturer faced frequent delamination and expansion issues in their high-pressure fuel hoses.
After testing several materials, they partnered with us to supply custom EP dipped fabric.
We optimized the dipping formula and applied double impregnation for stronger bonding.
The result:
Adhesion increased by 35%
Delamination rate reduced by 85%
⏱ Product lifespan extended by 40%
The client has since standardized our dipped fabric for all their hose production lines.
Summary
Dipped fabric is the hidden strength behind many high-performance rubber products.
With its superior bonding, mechanical strength, and dimensional stability, it ensures that hoses, belts, and sheets perform reliably under extreme conditions.
If you are looking for a trusted manufacturer of dipped reinforcement fabrics,
we provide customized solutions to meet your exact technical and production requirements.
