How waterproof is PUL fabric?

For our products, we only use Eco-PUL&#;. In this particular version of PUL, the polyurethane is made from renewable raw materials, such as vegetable oils rather than mineral oil. Eco-PUL is a smart choice for the environment.

The high quality polyester jersey fabric and the polyurethane film are bonded to create a single layered fabric using a combination of heat, pressure and adhesion.

Eco-PUL is manufactured using a &#;green&#;, solvent-free adhesive in the spirit of environmental sustainability.  The resulting laminated fabric &#; the PUL &#; is totally safe for health.  

Eco-PUL is made in the USA from a 73% polyester, 27% polyurethane mix and meets CPSIA standards.

Is PUL fabric durable?

It is a very durable fabric with many people reporting that they have been able to use nappies made with this material for the nappy wearing duration of at least a couple of children with only the elastic needing updating between children. You can imagine how much they are getting used and washed. I made my son's nappy wraps to go outside his cloth nappies when he was tiny and they stayed in perfect condition despite being used 3 1/12 years constantly between him and his little sister and being washed every other day for that whole time.

Polyurethane is more durable even than thermoplastics, so as a coating it lasts extremely well. Combined with polyester fabrics, which are inherently strong, resistant to tearing and don't damage over time with repeated washes and abrasion, this combination makes for a long-lasting fabric.

How Can you Make PUL Fabric Even More Durable?

If damage occurs to the laminated side of the fabric, then over time and use /repeated washing, the laminate can begin to separate away from the polyester. This is usually only a problem if you have large areas of unsewn laminate without any backing to protect it. For example, this happened to me with a large unlined laundry wash bag that got turned inside out into the washing machine - over time, small damage inside the washing machine where it was rubbing over sharper surfaces such as zips and velcro caused damage. This is simply fixed by using sandwich PUL, or adding a lining layer, or turning the fabric so the polyurethane is inside or within a protective laundry bag, or washing it without other abrasive laundry items. I used a bit of old curtain lining to line my large full load of laundry wet bags for our cloth nappies after that and with the added lining it was happily going for a couple of years with no problems until we stopped using nappies and it became a washable recycling bin liner instead which is still just as good 6+ years after making it.

Is PUL Eco Friendly?

Yes and No. Polyurethane is much better at biodegrading than many other types of plastics, however, polyester is very poor at biodegrading. However, this fabric is very durable and is very well suited to replacing many single-use plastic products such as sanitary towels, breast pads, continence pads, plastic bags, nappies and much more. In this respect, a small piece of fabric that may last through regular use for 10 years or more will save many many pieces of single-use plastics from going to landfills.
