Isabella takes an all-carrotand-no-stick approach! Isacryl - Isabella’s famous acrylic product which due to its outstanding characteristics has been used for our awnings for decades. Characteristics – orshould we say “carrot-eristics”? – which are paramount if campers are to feel confident with their awning and comfortable inside it. With a density of 295/m2, Isacryl is extremely durable. However, despite the density of its weave, this material is precisely why Isabella describes its Isacryl awnings as “living”.
And what does that have to do with carrots?
“When you break a carrot in two, the colour is the same all the way through; it’s the same with the fibres in Isacryl, which are solid-dyed – or dope-dyed to use the more technical term. Each fibre is dyed in this way before they are spun into thread and go through the entire weaving process. The material is then treated with a surface coating that protects against mould, fungus, and the like. The “living” awning Isabella’s Isacryl awnings can both “think” for themselves and “breathe”…! “Thinking” in the sense that Isacryl belongs to the category of intelligent textiles. In short, Isacryl regenerates itself when you wash the surface – and that goes for its strength, impregnation and
colour. (But recommend reproofing with Aqua Tex nevertheless.) The best and most important property of Isacryl is that it is a breathable material. Not least for the indoor climateof the awning. The effect of heat and cold from the outside and moisture from the ground make great demands on the awning. If the fabric is too thick, the moisture from the ground and the heat you give off cannot escape and this will most likely lead to condensation and dampness inside the awning. Isacryl “breathes” with you, making your stay in the awning so much more comfortable – wherever you are, whatever the time of year!”
