What’s the Waxed Canvas Fabric?
Canvas is made of linen, cotton, which is in turn made of flax, or, more commonly, hemp that is returning to being a sought-after choice. Contrary to other heavy-duty fabrics like denim which is made using the twill weave and canvas is constructed using an unwoven weave. Canvas is available in two plain varieties and duck. With the duck canvas, the threads are tighter knit and, consequently, more durable. British sailors developed waxed canvas; having observed that wet canvas sails were more effective at catching the wind, they soaked their canvas with Linseed oil. Cuts from the oil-soaked canvas were later used to make waterproof clothing. Nowadays, waxed canvas is created by impregnating the fibers of the canvas with wax. The strength and quality of the canvas can be judged by the thickness of the yarn and the weave’s density. The majority of canvas made from wax is created with a paraffin-based wax; however, there are hybrid waxes that use fluorocarbon and paraffin to enhance the waterproofing. Also, it is possible to make a waxed canvas with natural resins, like beeswax; however, this is a costlier alternative.
