DOCRIL FABRICS
VS
OTHER FABRICS
The DOCRIL® fabric is made of solution-dyed acrylic fiber. This ensures the highest color fastness even in adverse climatic conditions.
DOCRIL | OTHER TARPS |
|---|---|
The color is obtained in the process of extrusion of the fiber. Therefore, the color becomes an intrinsic part of the fiber and, consequently, the yarn. | The color is obtained by dyeing the yarn. Therefore, the color to remain only in the surface part. |
The color does not fade with exposure to weather or light (Maximum color fastness: 7/8*)
*Color fastness is the highest according to EN UNE ISO 105-B04)
| The color is losing with the passage of time due to the sun, the rain and the temperature change. |
Absolute regularity of the color in the fiber.
Guarantees the color homogeneity of the fabric.
| Color irregularities between threads of different batches, which does not ensure the homogeneity of the final fabric. |
TESTS LABORATORY – TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT (R&D)
At CITEL, we constantly carry out tests in our laboratory to evaluate the persistence of color in our fabrics in the DOCRIL® range and guarantee maximum quality, as indicated by the International Standard:
UNE-EN ISO 105-B04 Textiles.
Fastness tests.
Part B04: Color fastness to artificial weather: Xenon arc lamp
COLOR LOSS TEST
After 1000 hours of exposure to artificial weathering (Xenotest), the result shows the color loss of the samples tested. It has been contrasted Docril range (100% solution-dyed acrylic) with other fabrics on the market with similar colors.
