Our waterproof coatings are always applied to the inside of the pockets, and are thus protected against outside influences. These coatings are highly waterproof thermoplastic coatings and cannot be compared with known tent fabrics or rucksack coatings.
optimised coating adhesion
An exceptionally high degree of coating adhesion is essential to ensure that the inner coating on the fabric is durable.
fold resistant up to 100,000 folds
Most of our products feature the tried and tested "roll’n’snap catch" and must therefore meet tough requirements relating to their folding strength.
manufactured to ORTLIEB’s specifications
Our coated fabrics are not standard materials. They are jointly engineered with our suppliers for a specific field of application and are manufactured to our own quality standards.
quality-controlled
We test all important material properties in the course of our incoming goods inspection using defined test systems.
high-frequency welded
Only industrial-standard high-frequency welds allow high seam strengths and excellent waterproofing within narrow manufacturing tolerances. This quality standard cannot be attained with other types of weld.
Azo-free dyes
Although our products are not subject to the Azo Ordinance, we make sure that the manterials we use do not contain Azo dyes.
