A K Industrial Fabrics

Waxed Proof Canvas is one of our most trusted pre-treated industrial fabrics, engineered to protect against harsh weather, tropical rain, mould, UV exposure, wrinkles, flame, and oil. Cotton fabric of varying weights undergoes a conventional molten wax treatment to become genuinely water-resistant, without losing the natural strength of the base cloth.

Key Features

Traditional molten wax treatment

Fabric is treated with conventional molten wax to build lasting water resistance directly into the weave.

Multi-hazard weather protection

Beyond water, the treatment helps guard against tropical rain, mould, UV exposure, and wrinkling over long-term outdoor use.

Flame resistant tentage option

Available in a flame-resistant tentage variant for applications where fire safety is a requirement alongside waterproofing.

Wide weight range for every use

Supplied from 8 oz up to a heavy-duty 24 oz, so you can match the fabric to overcoats, tarpaulins, or bags.
