A superior Fire Rated Knitted HDPE shade fabric designed for use in modular shade structures and shade sails. Polytex® shade sails are ideal around swimming pools, beach entertainment and barbecue facilities, outdoor leisure and picnic areas. Other applications include playgrounds, preschools, secondary schools, camping grounds, hotels, motels and holiday resorts. Shade sails made from Polytex® also offer a striking alternative to flat roof timber pergolas and can be designed to accentuate any location, whether it be a home, garden or commercial establishment. It is recommended that these modular free standing structures or shade sails are designed to hold the shade cloth under firm tension. Polytex® provides maximum people protection against the sun's heat and strong ultraviolet rays and utilizes the best UV stabilizers from Ciba Specialty Products. It also provides good protection against wind, rain and hail. Polytex® has been heat set, making it more stable and easier to cut and sew when fabricating a shade sail. It also has less shrinkage while still retaining its strength and very high UV protection. |
| Fabric Care |
Heavy Duty Shadecloth is an Industrial Textile made from High Density Polyethylene, and combines Ultra Violet (UV) stabilizers and color additives. During the manufacturing process imperfections may occur. These imperfections are cosmetic only, and will not impact or interfere with the performance of the life of the shade fabric or the function for which it has been designed. Your shade sail canopy or shade structure should be installed firm and tight so as to reduce windflap in the shade fabric. Shade fabric that is loose and sloppy will cause premature failure due to mechanical breakdown. This is not UV breakdown and is not covered by the warranty. The shade sail will require periodic maintenance to ensure that the shadecloth fabric remains tight. Your shadecloth canopy may become dirty over time. Care should be taken to avoid Chemicals that may contain Bleach, or other industrial Chemicals containing Sulphur and/or Halogens (Chlorine Bromine). These Chemicals may attack the UV stabilizers within the Shadecloth, thus reducing the life of the product and voiding the warranty.The following list of chemicals that may cause such interactions are only some examples and not exhaustive. Such chemicals may include: pesticides, metals, metal oxides and metal salts, all halogens and chemical compounds containing halogens or sulphur in all their oxidation states. Care should be taken to avoid exposure to gasoline, kerosene, solvents, oils, etc. When cleaning the shadecloth, we recommend the use of a mild dish washing liquid with the use of a low pressure water hose and a soft scrubbing brush. We do not recommend the use of high pressure water to blast the fabric clean. The fabric warranty does not pertain to such damage caused by storms, hailstorm, earthquake, mechanical damage done by birds or other animals, fire, lightening etc. Again this is not an exhaustive list and it is for reference only. Please refer to our UV Warranty for further information. If you remove the shade sail over winter, ensure that it is stored away from rodents and other pests, preferably stored in a protective bag. Make sure the fabric is completely dry before putting away to avoid mildew damage. Copyright 2009 (Polyfab USA LLC). |
