This Is The Rope For Acapulco Chair

Acapulco Chair is a kind of famous woven chair used at outdoor. It is combined with metal frame and plastic ropes.




According to a story, Acapulco Chair is created by a french in Acapulco, a famous coastal city in Mexico. It is said that the french went to Acapulco to have a trip, but found there no suitable chair for sunbathe. Most chairs were too hot under sun or not waterproof.

When the french saw a hammock between two trees, he had an idea. He combined the metal frame and hemp ropes together, then a soft chair for sunbathe came out, which was named Acapulco chair.
With the development of the industrial revolution, people always try to find new better materials to make better tools. Until several years ago, most Acapulco Chair were made from light metal frame and PVC ropes. Today, people would like to find a new material to replace PVC rope because of the obvious shortage of PVC.
TPU is a choice. Compared with PVC, TPU is eco-friendly and stink-proof. So a chair made from TPU ropes would not be smelly to make people sick. Besides 100% TPU ropeTPU coated rope is also a new material for trying.

Waterproof zipper - Application of TPU coated webbing

For many sport backpacks, waterproof property is necessary, especially for hiking backpack. Some backpacks are made from waterproof fabric, but zippers are the common woven type. Actually, this kind of backpack is not really waterproof because water can get into backpack easily through the woven zippers.

At this occasion, you may need a waterproof zipper. In fact, there are several kinds of waterproof zippers. One kind is the zipper covered with hot melt adhesive on one side. Another kind of zippers is made from TPU coated webbing.



The outer coated TPU protects inner woven webbing from water, air and dirt, which makes TPU coated webbing a waterproof and cleanable material. When TPU coated webbing combines with zipper teeth, a waterproof zipper comes out.

What will happen on bad coated dog collar?

 Yesterday, I received a coated dog collar from a client. Once I got it, the sticky touch of the pet collar make me uncomfortable. But what was worse was that the outer coated plastic chapped and fell off.



Because of the sticky appearance, I casually scrubbed the collar with tissue. Just as you can see in the photo below, the collar was fading.



In order to show it more clear to you, I made a video.



Actually, some manufacturers choose bad raw materials for pet collars to cut the cost. In the shop, we always see lots of products with different price. Some are higher and some are lower. Sometimes we can even see some products with super cheap price, especially on online shops. However, some cheap products may just look like the expensive products at the beginning. Few time later, cheap products will go bad while expensive products just look like what they were before. If buyers know this fact, will they still choose the cheap one?


In my view, no matter kitty or puppy is one of the family members, maybe just like a son or daughter. I think owners would like to give the best to their pets. So a pet collar for puppies or kitties should owns several features. 1. Made of eco-friendly raw materials. For instance, good TPU coated dog collar with zinc alloy buckle. 2. Be comfortable. For instance, appearance of pet collar should be non-sticky, smooth and soft. 3. Be strong enough. Should not chap when folded. In addition, choosing a suitable pet collar should based on pets’ size. 4. If the pet collar is dyed, it can’t fade.






The outer coated TPU of this pet collar is Taiwan TPU raw material, and the inner webbing is strong polyester webbing. The buckle and rivets are made of stainless zinc alloy. (For Taiwan TPU raw material, Sunmolin has used it for 13 years. The products made of Taiwan TPU are approved by our customers and industry.)
 
Finally, in one word, low price is not equal with high cost-effective.
