eTek® 900D Solution-Dyed Polyester
eTek® 900D Solution-Dyed Polyester is our strongest solution-dyed polyester; a high-performance outdoor fabric engineered for the most demanding applications. Featuring a solvent-based polyurethane (PU) coating, it delivers superior water resistance, enhanced durability, and long-lasting protection against the elements. The solution-dyed fiber provides excellent UV resistance and exceptional color fastness, while also minimizing stretch and shrink over time. Measuring 60 inches wide and offering up to 2x the strength of leading fabrics, it’s an ideal choice for boat covers, awnings, tarps, and rugged outdoor enclosures.
