Title: Comparison to Leading Marine Fabric


1
  • Comparison to Leading Marine Fabric
  • Each chart depicts from left to right as worst to
    best
  • Fabrics have measurements in two directions
    warp fill. The fabric is as strong as its
    weakest direction (typically the fill direction).
    Therefore, the lower figure is used for each
    fabric

2
Fade ResistanceHow many hours of UV resistance
300 hours is generally considered 1 year normal
exposure
3
Mullen Burst The force required to rupture the
fabric critical for trailerable covers
4
Tensile StrengthThe force required to pull the
fabric apartimportant for trailering covers and
large vessel tops
5
Water ResistanceThe amount of water required to
force moisture throughImportant for both covers
and bimini tops
6
Heat Reduction - Shade FactorThe percent of heat
that is blocked by the fabricThe higher the
percent the cooler the person beneath the fabric
7
WeightThe lighter the weight, the easier to
handle(Either extreme is negative)
