The Cover Fabrics range is constituted by highly specialized materials that
introduce important novelties in the market
All the by Aquastop fabrics are easy to clean just using tap water. Liquid dirt cannot in fact penetrate the
yarn.
by Aquastop fabrics are athermic and although the maximum isolation factor is reached using
the Ultra version in the RainCover by Aquastop range (13°C), even the Parasol 150 will create a
temperature differential of 5°C.
The various Parasol styles are characterized by a high transpiration and water repellency.
The diagonal stability of the Parasol by Aquastop fabric is naturally determined by the mechanics of the
weave. In the need of a higher diagonal stability we suggest giving up the higher level of breathability
of Parasol and instead utilize the RainCover by Aquastop.
All the Parasol fabrics provide maximum UPF, UV protection factor (+50).

Parasol 70
Parasol 70 is highly breathable and its water column is 70mm. Making it the ideal material for
parasol umbrellas. The weaving, the colours and the hand feel were designed to obtain a very technical
appearance, typical of composite fabrics.
Parasol 100
Parasol 100 is the fabric that we designed to be the cross over between parasol umbrellas and cushions.
The 100mm of water column is sufficient for a typical tropical or temperate area, where rain and sun
alternate rapidly.
Parasol 150
Parasol 150 can be tailored to many situations and is the basic construction fabric for the line RainCover
by Aquastop. Its water column is 150mm and its strength makes it the ideal fabric for an awning or a large
sized umbrella.

Aquastop the yarn
Aquastop is outdoor-functional by nature if compared to other fibers such as Polyester or Nylon. It is an innovative and performing fiber.
Eco friendly The raw material consists exclusively of carbon and hydrogen. There is no waste yarn in spinning process.
Hydrophobic yarn Aquastop is hydrophobic by nature: with a maximum absorption rate of 0,05% is the least absorbent yarn available for soft woven textiles.
As it does not absorb moisture into the fiber, drying time is minimal.
Lightweight Aquastop is the lightest of all fibers and is lighter than water (density is 0.91). It is 30% lighter than polyester, 20% lighter than nylon and 25% lighter than Acrylic.
Thermal conductivity This fiber possesses the lowest thermal conductivity of any natural or synthetic fiber.
The insulation factor is greater by weight for Aquastop than other fiber.
Chemically resistant Aquastop will not react to ordinary chemicals, body salts
or sweat and will not degrade in their presence. Why is this significant? Even if attacked by acid rain, it will not break down.
No retention Bacteria, mold and mildew cannot grow on AQUASTOP, and will not damage the fiber. This because they only grow with water.
Colour fastness Aquastop is pre-colored in the liquid stage before spinning so the color in the fiber is part of the fiber itself. This fiber will hold color no matter
the final use. During life of the fabric colors won’t be damaged. The test method selected for Color fastness to light was the European UNI EN ISO 105 B02
and give 7-8/8 in the Blue Scale.
Abrasion resistant It is a durable fiber, and will withstand use and tear. Fabric will stay looking new for longer. The abrasion resistance to the Martindale test method
leaves the woven unchanged after 50.000 cycles. The Spray Test has given the highest result in the evaluation scale.
Applications: upholstery, covers, curtains, bags.
