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.
