Base cloth

A woven linen blend containing flax. It has a natural woven character that all-polyester canvas does not, at a lower cost than pure linen.

It is not pure linen and is not supplied as such. For a 100% linen requirement this is not the correct product.

Labelling

Composition is listed in descending order by weight, as US FTC and EU 1007/2011 textile labelling require. It is the same figure your customs broker and your lab will see.

Production

How a roll is made

Step 01

Woven base cloth

Linen-blend cloth woven to our specification and checked for weave regularity before priming.

Step 02

Multiple-coat white priming

Primer applied in multiple passes. The formulation is adjusted by season and by destination market, so the cloth suits the climate it will be used in.

Step 03

Inspection & roll-up

Surface and weight checked through the run, then rolled on a cardboard core.

Step 04

Wrapped & dispatched

Polythene-wrapped 50 m rolls, packed for export, with documents arranged for your broker.

Test record

Material safety

A representative primed linen-canvas sample passed CPSIA total-lead, phthalate and ASTM soluble-heavy-metal testing at a CPSC-recognised laboratory (report CTT2405016992CN, June 2024).

The report covers one submitted sample and is not a whole-scope CPSIA compliance statement. It is available on request.
