WeatherShieldHD
WeatherShield®HD is a heavy-duty version of our popular
automotive WeatherShield® fabric, and it was designed
to meet the protection needs of the RV market.
WeatherShield®HD uses the patented EPIC
by Nextec® encapsulation process. Their proprietary
technology uses precision and controlled placement of
special polymers to make ordinary fabrics extraordinary!
This encapsulation process places an ultra-thin film around
the fabric fibers and precisely places a durable, breathable
barrier within the woven polyester fabric to complete
the high performance finish process. Unlike traditional
coatings and laminations that just protect one side of
the fabric, Nextec uses up to 40 computerized process
controls to place protective polymers inside the fabric
to shed water, dust, bird droppings, tree sap and industrial
pollutants.
The encapsulation coats the fibers and fills the voids
between the threads with a breathable barrier to assure
moisture, dust and pollutants are kept away from the vehicle's
finish. The base high-strength polyester fabric is naturally
UV resistant, but we've added UV inhibitors to the polymers
to help slow down the degradation that occurs naturally
on anything exposed to sun for an extended period of time.
-
Sheds Water - Polymer
finish helps the fabric shed water as soon as it hits
the cover.
-
Superior Dry Time -
Because the fabric sheds moisture, it has an absorption
factor of only 2%, compared with up to 40% for standard
woven and non-woven fabrics. Less absorption means faster
dry time.
-
Breathable - Allows
any heat, moisture or condensation under the cover to
easily escape.
-
UV Block - Solution-dyed
300 denier polyester provides superior UV block to protect
the RV exterior and interior.
-
UV Resistant - Special
additives prevent fabric UV degradation and help provide
a longer cover service life.
-
Dust-proof - Patented
fiber encapsulation process prevents dust from filtering
through the fabric.
-
Scratch-less - Polymers
provide a silky smooth finish to the fabric and provide
superior paint protection. Nextec fabric has been tested
at 1,000 cycles on abrasion wheels without scratching
(surface must be clean and waxed).
-
Durable - The encapsulation
process is not affected by heat or cold and the process
won't degrade over the life of the fabric.
-
Easy Care - Can be
washed right on the RV. Air dry is fast due to the fabric
finish.
