Solution-Dyed Acrylic Fibers are created through a unique process that adds pigment during fiber production. These fibers are then spun into yarn resulting in permeated colour throughout the fabric. Colour and fibers are one complete product, so the colour lasts as long as the fabric does.

For dyeing process of conventional fabric, pigment is applied after the fabric is made. Because colour is not an integral part of the fabric, conventionally dyed fabrics are more susceptible to fading. In addition, stain removal can be extremely difficult and may ruin the fabric.

In addition to the solution dyed process, Sunbrella® fabrics are treated with a fluorocarbon finish that acts as a sealant resistant to water and stains. Glen Raven is one of the only few SOLUTION DYEING capable manufacturing plant in the world and with the highest quality. Visually, Sunbrella® fabrics look similar to other acrylic canvas, however the difference is apparent after pro-long period of use, constant sun light exposure and other harsh conditions.
