Solution dyed polyester

Solution dyed polyester outperforms other fabrics in terms of Anti-UV rays, colour fastness, GREEN nature, etc., and allows long-time exposure to the sun.

Fansuby Sailcloth’s UV protection have excellent Anti-UV performance (UPF 50+) and color fading resistance (over 4.0 out of 5 Grade), which makes Fansuby Sailcloth’s Solartex ST series a great alternative for either Sunbrella or WeatherMax on the market.

  • Marine Applications
  • ・ST170 (170 g/m2) – Leech and Foot protection
  • ・ST250 (250 g/m2) – Bow cover, Roller-furling cover, Sail cover, Curtain, Windscreen cover, etc.
  • ・ST300 (300 g/m2) – Sail cover, Lazy bag, Winter cover, Small Bimini top, Flybridge enclosure, Cradle, Mooring cover, etc.
  • If you don’t have sewing machines, ST240PSA is the best choice for you:
  • ・ST240PSA：ST170 with PSA in the back.

PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive): insignia type of UV protection, produced with lightweight release paper, is ideal for sails which require more reinforcements and extra protection.

If you are making covers, we would recommend ST250/ST300 with water-proof coating, the best resolution for Marine products that require water proof.

Let our Solartex ST series be your best shield to protect whatever you value most from sunlight.
