 Nova-shield
Flame Retardant Woven Polyolefin Fabric.
FRU 88X has been developed recently for the outdoor shelter
market. This durable material is exceptionally lightweight
at 12.1 ounces per yard. This means it is very easily assembled
and disassembled. This material has a 5 year prorated warranty
and a 6-8 year life expectancy. This material is available
in translucent white only.
18
oz. PVC
We have been fabricating with this material for over 20 years.
Some of these covers are still in place on shelters throughout
the world. We can fabricate these covers in a multitude of
patterns to create visually pleasing systems. This material
is in inventory in translucent white, opaque white, opaque
green, and opaque tan. Translucent white allows a warm glow
of light into the shelter. Opaque blocks all light from passing
through the membrane (the fabric in the upper right on this
page is opaque white).
24
oz. PVC
This
material is an upgrade to the 18 oz. PVC. Our 24 oz. material
is the material of choice where durability is the main priority.
This material comes standard with a fluorocarbon top coat
which blocks plasticizer migration. Plasticizer migration
is the technical name for vinyl forming a chalky layer on
the surface. This top coat not only prolongs life but keeps
the material cleaner longer.
28
oz. PVC
28
oz. PVC is the ultimate structure material. The backbone of
this material is the polyester fiber that gives the material
700 lbs./inch tear strength. Our 28 oz. PVC is purchased with
a two part acrylic/urethane top coat. This two part system
improves weathering, abrasion resistance, and minimizes plasticizer
migration. This is the choice for consumers who demand the
highest performance characteristics from their equipment.
This is the standard material on our 150 ft. wide span.
