Solution dyed acrylic fabric crazing
Crazing is an inherent characteristic of all solution-dyed acrylic fabrics and is caused by folding or creasing of the fabric during production, shipping or installation. Crazing lines appear as white lines on dark colored fabric when front-lit, and dark lines on light colored fabric when backlit.
The main contributor to crazing are the resins added in the final stages of manufacturing. These resins add stiffness, so the fabric lies flat during sewing, which is critical for the manufacturing process. These resins can be viewed as an industrial fabric starch with a specific end purpose.
Crazing does not affect the performance or characteristics of Para®, Dickson®, Recasens® or Sunbrella® or other solution dyed acrylic fabrics — the fabric remains water repellent (a/k/a water resistant) as well as stain and mildew resistant — and the lines will diminish over time with exposure to the elements.
Balance supports belts a/k/a intermediate tube supports/belts
Standard in the retractable awning industry worldwide in non-cassette models is the fact that balance support belts a/k/a intermediate tube supports/belts are a "wear and tear" item like tires on a vehicle.
