Polytex 230 is manufactured from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), using a monofilament and tape construction. The fabric is produced by knitting the
monofilament and tape together utilizing "Rachel Knit" (lock stitch) construction to ensure that the fabric will not tear or fray if cut or pierced by sharp
objects. Today, safety is a prime concern of any project. Compromising on material quality therefore is not an option because the risks are substantial.
POLYTEX 230 has been designed for shade structures and architectural shade sails. It's high strength to weight ratio, UV performance and fire rating makes it
the ideal choice for small scale commercial or residential shade projects - anywhere shade and protection is desired. POLYTEX 230 is available in 13 popular
colors and has a 10 year limited manufacturer's warranty. Sold in full, 100 foot, rolls only.
It is perfect for use in structures for pools, patios, parking lots, school play areas, gazebos, car and RV dealership
lots... anywhere shade and protection for
people and property is desired.
