ProSoft EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL: The Complete Guide to Wazoodle's Hook-Compatible Waterproof Fabric

What ProSoft® EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL™

ProSoft® Lightweight EZ Peel Loop Waterproof ECO-PUL™ Fabric (W-395) is the only waterproof PUL in Wazoodle's ProSoft line with a built-in hook-compatible loop surface — a polyurethane laminate that bonds 1 mil TPU film to an engineered loop knit base using ECO-Thermal Bonding Technology (permanent film fusion independently tested 50% stronger than competitor US-made PUL).

The loop surface mechanically engages hook fasteners (like the hook side of hook-and-loop tape), providing adjustable closures directly on the waterproof fabric without sewing separate loop tape onto the material.

Where EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL fits: At 110 GSM and 0.015" thickness, this is the lightest and thinnest waterproof PUL in the ProSoft line — lighter even than Lightweight ECO-PUL (100 GSM / 0.013") in weight class but with the added hook-compatible functionality. Choose this when your product needs adjustable hook-fastener closures built into the waterproof layer — cloth diaper covers with hook tabs, adjustable wet bags, or modular systems where components attach and detach. For standard lightweight waterproofing without hook compatibility, Lightweight ECO-PUL provides a simpler option.

The fabric shares the rated ProSoft waterproof barrier — rated at more than 100× any normal use pressure with breathability matched to resting body moisture output — plus Waterproof 300X Technology (rated integrity through 300+ wash cycles) and SilentFlex Technology (quiet, no plastic rustling). The 65% polyester / 35% polyurethane composition reflects the heavier film-to-fabric ratio in this thinner construction. 10% crosswise stretch with minimal lengthwise stretch. Requires seam sealing tape over all sewn seams.

Made in USA by AKAS Tex. CPSIA certified for children's products. Forever Chemicals-Free verified (no PFAS, PFOA, PFOS, BPA, or phthalates).

Working With ProSoft® EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL™

ProSoft® EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL™ uses the same core PUL sewing techniques as the standard ECO-PUL line. The lightweight 110 GSM construction is easy to work with and handles well during sewing without being too flimsy.

Machine Setup & Sewing Techniques
  • Presser foot: A Teflon/glide foot or walking foot prevents the PUL film surface from sticking. Alternatives: sew through wax paper, or dab sewing machine oil on the foot.
  • Needles: Use ballpoint/jersey needles for the knit loop base. Sharp needles slice yarns and create holes that become leak points.
  • Thread: Use quality polyester thread (Tex-27 or 65/2 grade). Cotton and rayon threads wick moisture through needle holes.
  • Hook engagement: The loop surface engages hook fasteners by direct contact — no adhesive or sewing required for the hook-to-loop connection. Position the fabric so the loop side faces outward where hook tabs will attach.
Seam Sealing Heat-activated seam sealing tape must be applied over all sewn seams. The lightweight construction means light-to-medium weight seam tape is appropriate. Apply with warm iron on the fabric side only — never iron the polyurethane film side.

Critical: Every needle hole through the polyurethane film permanently compromises waterproofing. Pin only in seam allowances and seal every sewn seam with heat-activated tape.

No pre-washing is required — the fabric ships cut-and-sew ready. Manufacturing odor from thermal bonding dissipates after a wash-dry cycle or 1–7 days of airing.


Pairing ProSoft® EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL™ With Other Fabrics

ProSoft® EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL™ serves as the waterproof outer shell with hook-compatible closure in multi-layer constructions.

Absorbent & Surface Partners
  • Zorb® Original: Absorbent core for rapid liquid capture in cloth diaper systems. Position between a skin-contact wicking layer and the EZ Peel waterproof shell. See Zorb® Original: The Complete Guide to Wazoodle's Foundation Absorbent Fabric.
  • Zorb® 3D Stay Dry: Stay-dry absorbent for direct skin contact, eliminating a separate wicking layer. See Zorb® 3D Stay Dry Dimple: The Complete Guide to Wazoodle's Premium Stay-Dry Absorbent Fabric.
  • ProCool® Performance Interlock: Moisture-wicking skin-contact surface. See ProCool® Performance Interlock: The Complete Guide to Wazoodle's Versatile Moisture-Wicking Fabric.
Proven Layer Stacks
  • Cloth diaper cover with hook tabs: Absorbent insert (Zorb® or prefold) → ProSoft EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL (W-395) as outer waterproof cover. Hook tabs on waist/rise engage the loop surface directly — no separate loop tape needed.
  • Adjustable wet bag: ProSoft EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL (W-395) as waterproof shell with hook-fastener closures for adjustable openings and modular attachment points.

ProSoft® EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL™ Applications

ProSoft® EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL™ is suited to applications requiring lightweight waterproofing with integrated hook-fastener compatibility.

Cloth diaper covers are the primary application — hook tabs on reusable diaper covers engage the loop surface directly for adjustable sizing. The 110 GSM weight and 0.015" thickness keep the cover thin under clothing.

Wet bags and travel bags benefit from the lightweight foldability and waterproof lining. The hook-compatible surface enables modular bag systems where internal components attach and detach.

Incontinence products and medical underpads use the waterproof barrier with adjustable hook-fastener closures for fitted garments.

Content Note — Food Storage: EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL (W-395) does not carry FDA food-contact certification. For food storage applications requiring certified food-safe waterproof fabric, see the FoodSAFE PUL variants (W-396, W-512, W-392, W-397, W-679).

Caring for ProSoft® EZ Peel Loop ECO-PUL™

Washing

Hot water safe. Use zero-residue liquid detergent with an extra rinse cycle. Non-chlorine oxygen bleach is acceptable sparingly.

Drying

Medium heat only — never exceed 130°F (50°C).

Avoid completely

Fabric softeners (permanently destroy waterproofing), chlorine bleach (causes delamination), vinegar and baking soda (break down the laminate bond), dryer sheets.

For complete ProSoft PUL care protocols, see ProSoft PUL Care Guide.
