A fine weave 70 denier textile with a silky-like look and feel. Pretty much impervious to dust without
proofing, although we utilise a variety with a light acrylic proofing rendering it absolutely dustproof.
This proofing also gives it some water-repellancy.
Superb for inside use, never use any nylon outdoors as it deteriorates in the ultra-violet; nor even
close to a window (think of net curtains) as glass filters out only UVB, whilst UVA gets through. See
UV Guide.
Can be cool washed in a domestic washing machine, provided that no fabric conditioner is used.
We use this textile mostly for our In-Garage car covers
, & In-Garage motorcycle covers
(and car seat covers made to order only).
Another use could be dust sheets for just about any inside purpose.
Available off the roll in a width of 5 feet/1.5 metre, in a choice of 5 colours. Priced at £1.26
per linear foot/300mm, including VAT & free delivery. Minimum 1 foot/300mm.

DEFINITION OF TERMS (click to show/hide definitions)
|
|
Denier (or D) can be roughly defined as the diameter (thickness) of the thread used to weave the textile,
and this approximation is acceptable for everyday use. However this is not strictly correct in the technical sense.
An excellent full definition of denier can be found here.
A textile can be defined as a fabric or cloth created by either weaving or knitting (also crocheting & felting)
with a thread, fibre or yarn.
Breathability is about water vapour evaporation, not breathing ! For a technical definition go to the BSI (British
Standards Institute) website; our textiles comply with
BS3424 (water vapour permeability).
We also use two plastic materials, for which thickness is defined in
microns. A micron
is 1/1000th of a millimetre; for comparison, a human hair is about 100 microns. For true English we also
show the approximate 1/1000th of an inch equivalent !
These plastics are 100% waterproof (ie completely impervious to water) and therefore not breathable.
