Acrylic marine fabric is 100% acrylic solution dyed, teflon treated, synthetic fabric with traditional canvas appearance. Teflon impregnation treatment, providing water resistancewith a water column rating of 350mm, while still allowing for some breathability to manage moisture and dampness. And more, we added PU coated backing for this collection of fabric. This special PU (polyurethane) resin coating adds a barrier layer to the underside of the acrylic fabric increasing its water column rating from 350mm to 1000mm. So this material can avoid water leaking in heavy rains.

Solution dyed acrylic is the most colour stable cloth available with the highest UV resistance. Acrylic marine fabric is a synthetic woven material, supplied in a range of finished, designed for outdoor applications. A highly technical but natural canvas appearance makes this fabric perfectly suited to withstand the rigorous of the outside and marine environment. The fabric’s durability is further enhanced by its resistance to mildew, water, stretching, and shrinking, withstand temperature and weather variations while maintaining a popular canvas look.

DOUBLE LAYER ENHANCED WATER BARRIER TREATMENT FOR MARINE USE

1. Teflon or Carbon Zero water resistant solutions
	Teflon®  PTFE treatment, the acrylic fiber is soaked with a Teflon-based coating that has the remarkable property of being both hydrophobic (water shedding) and oleophobic (oil shedding). Water cannot readily wet out the surfaces. The water droplets behave like mercury when confronted with the coated surface. This creates a barrier effect against common growth of mould and black dot mildew and reinforces the water-repellent properties of the fabric. Furthermore, it delays the adherence of dirt in the fabric.
	Carbon zero is designed to replace traditional Teflon coatings, it is an advanced water-resistant treatment developed to provide superior fabric protection without the environmental drawbacks associated with fluorocarbon-based treatments like Teflon. This technology ensures that your outdoor fabrics remain durable, clean, and vibrant while significantly reducing their ecological footprint.
2. PU coated backing
	The special resin coating adds a barrier layer to the underside of the acrylic canvas increasing its water column rating to 1000mm plus. The PU coating is the most popular of finishes supplied into the marine market, with its main use being Sprayhoods and Enclosures.

What does “100% solution dyed” mean?

DuraSuntex DLT-AM1000 fabric is made with 100% solution dyed / Dope dyeing technology. It integrates pigments during the polymer extrusion stage, fundamentally altering color fastness compared to conventional post-production dyeing methods. The stage at which color is introduced significantly affects the final fabric’s durability, resistance to fading and rub fastness. Below is a structured analysis:

There are many types of outdoor fabrics on the market labeled as “Solution-dyed.” In fact, they vary significantly based on the dyeing stage—ranging from dope dyeing, stock dyeing, fiber dyeing, yarn dyeing, to fabric dyeing. The colorfastness of these methods can range from as little as 0.5 years to up to 5 years. However, it is extremely difficult to distinguish between these dyeing techniques just by looking at the surface of fabric sample . The cost difference between these dyeing processes can be substantial. Even more concerning, some manufacturers use polyester yarns hidden in the weft to reduce production costs while maintaining the appearance of acrylic fabric. Therefore, do not be misled by low prices.
