WeatherShield HP is made with solution-dye fibers, which makes the fabric fade resistant.
The color pigments are mixed into the compound that is extruded as thread, rather than using a dye process.
This method puts the color throughout each fiber, making it more fade resistant and saving 1,000 gallons of water for every 1,000 yards of fabric produced since surface-dyeing is not used.
Pre-finishing chemistries are applied to the solution-dye polyester fabric to prepare it for the encapsulation process.
Nextec proprietary equipment applies a viscous patented mixture of silicon-based polymers onto the fabric.
Heat and pressure are applied to the polymers, working them inside the fabric and wrapping the individual fade resistant fibers.
Most spaces are filled, and the micro holes that remain allow the fabric to breathe so moisture or heat under the cover can escape easily.
Specially designed ovens cure the polymers to a solid state, and the fabric is ready to be made into covers.
There are no microfibers, no laminates, and no surface coating.
Nextec's encapsulation process delivers all-weather protection, compact packability, easy care, and a soft-to-paint touch without sacrificing breathability.
WeatherShield is not waterproof, but if kept clean, it will shed most water and helps prevent dust, dirt, bird droppings, and tree sap from reaching the vehicle surface.
The breathable properties of the fabric assure that heat, moisture, or condensation under the cover can escape easily.
This cover is backed by a four-year warranty against fabric flaws and workmanship.
