Content
Fabric selection often comes down to how a product looks on the shelf. Standard coated oxfords perform well but appear generic. The PU 420D With Silver Coating (300D FDY) takes a different route: it applies a silver PU coating over a 420D polyester base, producing a metallic finish that stands out while retaining waterproof and tear-resistant properties.
At 120gsm, the fabric stays light enough for fashion bags and home textiles, where heavier constructions add unnecessary weight.

What the Silver Coating Delivers
The silver coating is more than a decorative layer. It produces functional effects that suit specific product categories:
-
Distinct metallic appearance – visually separates products from plain oxford competitors
-
Waterproof protection – the PU layer blocks moisture penetration
-
Heat reflection – the metallic surface reflects a portion of radiant heat
-
Modern aesthetic – fits fashion-forward bags, cosmetic cases, and linings
For brands competing in crowded retail categories, visual differentiation often matters as much as physical durability.
