Don all solution-dyed fabrics do what 100% Acrylic does?
Absolutely not, so make sure you purchase 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabrics. There are other fabrics on the market today that are made from synthetic, solution-dyed fibers that have different names and make similar claims. If they are not solution-dyed acrylic, they will not perform, last or retain color as well as a solution-dyed acrylic. [Back To Top] • Why does 100% Acrylic not fade in the bright sun? Special yarns made from solution-dyed acrylic in which the pigment is added while the fiber still is in solution. With this method, the color permeates the fiber so it can’t rub off or wash away. Stabilizers are also added in the same way to minimize the effects of the sun, to help the fabric maintain strength over time, and to inhibit rot. [Back To Top] • Is 100% Acrylic fabric waterproof? No, only the Outdura Trio® is waterproof, and it has all the positive attributes of the other Outdura® fabrics. In fact, Trio is the only outdoor fabric that is both waterproof and breathable.
