Detailed description
Most enquiries for this item come down to three decisions made in the wrong order: grade, width, then price. Grade sets the cycle life, width sets the roll cost, and the unit price is only comparable once the first two are fixed.
What the buyer is choosing
The mistake in comparing quotes is looking at the width and the colour and ignoring the yarn. A 25 mm roll at 380 g/m2 and a 25 mm roll at 300 g/m2 look identical in a photograph and behave completely differently after five hundred cycles.
The material question
The fibre is polyester. It takes up less water than nylon, so the width is stable in humid storage and in a container crossing the tropics, and it holds up under UV where nylon would chalk. The trade-off is a slightly stiffer hand and a narrower colour range at the deep end.
How it is quoted
Payment is 30 percent deposit with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading. Mixed widths on one purchase order are quoted as separate lines with a shared lead time, which is usually cheaper than splitting the order.
What ships with the goods
Colour is checked against the retained standard under D65 on every lot, and weft skew, oil marks and hook damage are inspected across the full roll rather than on a cut sample.
Checking it on arrival
On arrival, measure the width at the core and at the outside of the roll before you cut anything. A roll that measures wide at one end and nominal at the other was slit under uneven tension, and the whole lot will behave the same way on your line.
If the grade is still open, send the application and the cycle count and we will tell you which of the three constructions is the cheapest one that will survive it.
