Material question
Material question
(OP)
I have an unusual requirement for a cotton-like material which will not accumulate surface charge as readily as nylon or teflon fibers. This material needs to be moisture resistant like nylon, and also needs to be transparent to radio frequency energy. Most of all, it needs to be durable and resist tearing and fraying. We have tried heavy cotton canvas and it is not sturdy enough for our application at the 9 oz weight we tried.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Dacron?

Dacron is DuPont's trade name for their Polyester.
I agree Polyester/Cotton blend sounds like the way to go.
