CJMW80 Weathermax® Breathable Polyester Canvas

CJMW80 Weathermax® Breathable Polyester Canvas is designed to be water resistant and breathable. The high water repellent impregnated finish delivers water and mildew resistance whilst maintaining the fabric’s natural breathability and dimensional stability. It is highly resistant to dirt and staining; an anti-microbial component is also added to the finish to help reduce any potential mildew or mould growth on the top of the fabric. Engineered for long-term colour and strength retention, CJMW80 Weathermax® can outperform and outlast other marine fabrics in certain applications. This lightweight, the easy-to-handle fabric in unmatched in appearance and provides excellent performance.

Thread

The standard thread that we use is an anti-wick, U.V. stable, bonded polyester; designed specifically for marine use and the colour is matched to the marine acrylic canvas. When used with our unique seam binding method, a water resistant seam is achieved.

As an option, we also offer Tenara® PTFE thread with a 15-year thread warranty. It maintains the strength of the seam even under the harshest outdoor conditions. It does not deteriorate, burst or break, despite years of exposure to weather, extreme temperature or chemicals.
