Covercraft WeatherShield Two-Tone Car Covers
Additional Information:
WeatherShield® employs a patented immersion process that uses heat and pressure to permanently encapsulate the fabric’s fibers to shed moisture and block dust, dirt, bird poop, tree sap and grime. This encapsulation process places an ultra-thin coating around the fabric fibers, while at the same time creating a durable, breathable barrier within the woven polyester fabric to complete the high performance finish process. Unlike traditional coatings and laminations that just protect one side of the fabric, WeatherShield® places long-lasting protective formulas inside the fabric. The resulting fabric provides maximum protection -- but isn't bulky and hard to store.
 This magnified photo gives you an idea how the immersion encapsulation coats the fibers, filling the voids between the threads with a breathable barrier. This assures that any moisture that does get under the cover (or heat on a hot summer day) can easily escape through the fabric. During evaporation moisture turns into vapor and the vapor is smaller than water droplets, so it easily transfers through the fabric. The base, high-strength, polyester fabric is naturally UV resistant, but UV inhibitors have been added to the polymers to help slow down the degradation that occurs naturally on anything exposed to sun for an extended period of time. WeatherShield Benefits: - Weatherproof - Fabric sheds water as soon as it hits the cover.
- Superior Dry Time - Because the fabric sheds moisture, it has an absorption factor of only 2%, compared with up to 40% for standard woven and non-woven fabrics. In other words, if the cover has been sitting out in the rain, you only need to shake it and the residue moisture will easily dry, in the trunk or on the car.
- Breathable - Allows any heat or condensation under the cover to escape easily.
- UV Resistant - Special additives prevent UV degradation and protect the vehicle’s finish and interior.
- Dust-proof - A patented fiber encapsulation process prevents dust from filtering through the fabric.
- Scratch-less - Polymers provide a silky smooth finish to the fabric and provide superior paint protection. The fabric has been tested at 1,000 cycles on abrasion wheels without scratching (surface must be clean and waxed).
- Durable - The encapsulation process is not affected by heat or cold and the process won't degrade over the life of the fabric.
- Easy Care - Unlike non-woven fabrics, you can clean most car-size WeatherShield covers in your HOME washer and dryer.
- Packs Small & Light - All this protection in a lightweight package that packs into 1/4 to 1/2 the volume of multi-layer, non-woven fabrics.
