Awning Fabrics With Water Resistant and Self Cleaning Design from Dickson

Self cleaning and water resistant Sun Shade Fabrics

• Dickson provide the latest generation awning fabrics that are self cleaning and water resistant.
• The technology used in the development of the Permaclean self cleaning finish is based on the observation of the structure of a Lotus leaf, which, despite its development in muddy rivers and lakes, manages to keep clean.
• The microscopic structure of the plant surface, covered with numerous superhydrophobic small bumps of the order of several microns, allows its leaves never to be wet. Instead, the drops of water keep rolling on the surface of the leaf, carrying with them debris, insects and dust.
• Therefore, the Permaclean finish contains nanoparticles that, once applied on the fabric, assemble to form an extremely dense protective layer that keeps dirt on the surface. Rain or simple rinsing is sufficient to clean the fabric.
