Contains U.V. and mildew resistent agents. Most mills, including Sunbrella, apply a fluorocarbon polymer to the cloth at the factory for waterproofing and stain repellency. This is the most durable and effective waterproofing technology currently known. A polymer is like Teflon for cloth.Armada AquaBlock uses virtually the same fluorocarbon technology as the mills do to replenish waterproofing after each cleaning with a polymer-waterproofing agent. Application is therefore more effective, more durable and easier to use than a less compatible agent.
AquaBlock has been independently laboratory tested against the three leading waterproofing products in the marine industry and was found superior.
