There are three main types of fabrics for umbrellas. The cost from low to high is: polyester, PG cloth, nylon, transparent plastic.
The characteristics of the polyester cloth are: the color is more beautiful, and the umbrella fabric is placed on the hand, the crease is obvious, and it is not easy to restore. When the fabric is moving, it will feel resistance, and when it is smashing, there will be a rustling sound. Applying a layer of silver glue on the polyester is what we usually call a silver plastic umbrella. The function of the silver tape to protect against ultraviolet rays is better, but after a long time of use, the silver glue in the folded place is easily separated. Applying a layer of silver powder on the polyester is what we usually call a pearl cloth umbrella. The color of the pearl cloth is more beautiful, which is very popular among women, but the anti-sun UV effect is not ideal.
PG cloth
PG cloth is also called impact cloth, high density impact cloth is a new type of fabric. PG has the following characteristics: the color is matte and dark. The fabric feels like cotton, the light resistance is better, the cost of PG cloth is relatively high, but the UV protection function, the stability of the quality, the grade of the color are ideal, it is a better umbrella cloth, and the general PG cloth is only used in high-grade In the umbrella.
Nylon
Nylon cloth is also a high-grade variety of umbrella fabrics. This poncho has a bright color and feels like silk on the hand. It is moved back and forth with hand, and the resistance is very small. However, this kind of cloth has a weakness, which is greatly affected by the humidity of the air, and the umbrella cloth shrinks more seriously, sometimes even affecting the normal opening and closing of the umbrella surface. Therefore, in our commonly used umbrella fabrics, it is not particularly large.
Transparent plastic
Transparent umbrellas, which have been popular in recent years, are made of POE or PVC plastic fabrics, and some have various patterns and colors.
Black rubber layer fabric
Compared with other umbrella fabrics, the black rubber layer fabric has the following advantages: 1. It is not easy to age, and the silver rubber fabric is easy to cause the coating to aging and fall off after being used for a long time; 2. The temperature is lowered, and the black rubber layer fabric is made of a parasol in the sunlight. It can effectively cool down 3-5°C; 3. Super strong UV protection, the parasols on the market are different due to the different quality of black rubber coating process or fabric, and the actual UV protection performance is different. The more convenient test method is: use mobile phone Flashlight flashlight, use the parasol fabric in the dark to stick to the flash to see if there is light leakage.
