Printable textile media major Fisher Textiles has announced the launch of dye-sublimation printable canopy tent fabric— GF 5300 Waterfall. The new printable fabric, when wet water beads up on the GF 5300 dye-sublimation printable canopy tent fabric’s surface instead of leaking through the material, making it an ideal choice to withstand precipitation elements. Tested under AATCC TM 22-2017, ‘Water Repellency: Spray Test’, which measures the water-repellent efficacy of the DWR finish, results were 95, 95, 100.
The grading system used is from 100 (no sticking or wetting of the upper surface) to 0 (complete wetting of the whole of the upper and lower surfaces). In fact, GF 5300 Waterfall can also be used for street pole banners, awnings and home decor products such as water-resistant table cloths and shower curtains. This fabric is stocked in a 309.8cm (122 inches) wide size and is flame retardant (NFPA 701).
