Cordura Nylon vs. Cotton Duck: Analyzing Abrasion and Thermal Failure

Par

Choosing between Cordura and Canvas Duck requires analyzing how each material fails under stress. As your fabric supplier, we knows that Cordura (Nylon 6.6) excels at resisting abrasion and water, making it the superior choice for lightweight tactical gear. Canvas Duck (Cotton), with its plied yarn construction, dominates in heat resistance and breathability, making it mandatory for welders and industrial workwear.

Cordura is an air-jet textured nylon filament designed to slide. In laboratory Wyzenbeek abrasion testing, our 1000 Denier Nylon withstands over 300,000 double rubs. The synthetic filaments refuse to break under friction, whereas natural fibers eventually grind away. This makes nylon the correct specification for motorcycle skid zones or backpack bases. However, this strength comes with a thermal weakness. Nylon is a thermoplastic that melts at approximately 255°C. If you expose it to welding slag or a campfire, it melts and fuses to skin.

Canvas Duck is mechanically distinct from standard canvas due to its 2x2 plied yarn weave. This dense structure, found in our Number 1 Heavyweight Duck, resists punctures and snags better than looser weaves. Critically, cotton is cellulosic. It chars at high heat but never melts. This thermal safety profile is why industrial tradesmen rely on duck cloth. For weather protection, untreated cotton absorbs water, but applying wax transforms it. Our Waxed Canvas Army Duck offers excellent water repellency while developing a rich patina that synthetic 500 Denier Cordura cannot replicate. Synthetics often suffer from hydrolysis and coating failure after a decade, whereas cotton softens and improves with age. If your new gear feels too rigid, our guide on how to soften stiff duck cloth explains how to break it in quickly.

Select Cordura for weight savings and wet environments. Select Canvas Duck for fire safety and breathability. You can compare these textures directly by ordering printed fabric swatches before starting your next project.

HTML5 Games On Android

Par
On my last hollidays, I made two HTML5 games, and published on android market. Nowadays javascript has powerful libraries for doing almost everything, and also there are several compilers from java or c code to javascript, converting opengl c code to html5 canvas, but definitely, javascript execution is slower than dalvik applications, and of course much slower than arm c libs. For improving the speed of sounds and images loader, I have used javascript asynchronous execution and scheduling priority has been controlled with setTimeout/setInterval which deprioritize or priorize a code block. This games are published on the android market here: Android Planets and here: Far Planet Related news Hacker Hardware Tools Pentest Tools Port Scanner Hacker Tools For Mac Tools Used For Hacking Hacker Techniques Tools And Incident Handling Easy Hack Tools Hacking Tools Kit Hacking Tools Usb Hacker Hardware Tools Hacker Tools Hardware Hack Tools For Windows Hacking Tools For G...

Abdominal pain after a motor vehicle accident

Par
CASE A 22-year-old man was brought to the ED complaining of abdominal pain after a rollover motor vehicle accident. He was the front seat passenger and was wearing a seat belt. Although he was trapped in the vehicle and it caught on fire, he did not suffer any cutaneous burns. History  The patient's past medical history was significant for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. He admitted to using tobacco and alcohol socially, but denied illicit drug use. He denied any medication use or drug allergies. A review of systems was positive for complaints of abdominal pain and anxiety. Physical examination  The patient's vital signs were: BP, 112/51 mm Hg; heart rate, 110 beats/minute; respirations, 23; SpO 2 , 95% on room air; and temperature, 37.4° C (99.3° F). On ED arrival, he was awake, alert, and oriented but appeared anxious and agitated. His pupils were equal, round, and reactive to light. His head was normocephalic with a 2-cm laceration on the left ear. The pati...
