Tyvek® UV Soft Structure - Style 1460

Tyvek® 1460 is an extremely versatile soft structure style because it is UV stabilized. Used for outdoor furniture covers, table covers, and anything that needs protection from damaging ultra-violet sunlight,Tyvek® 1460 can replace bulkier and heavier materials and has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. All Tyvek® styles are breathable and resist mildew by allowing trapped water to evaporate. They also keep out acid rain, bird droppings, soot, debris, pollen, and other forms of environmental pollution. Brilliantly white and reflective, Tyvek® Style1460 keeps the temperature of what it is covering lower than other competitive fabrics. Style 1460 is significantly lighter than most traditional fabrics and is easily fabricated into protective covers that are light weight and store compactly when not in use. Tyvek® can be sewn on any conventional sewing machine. Click Here for instructions on sewing Tyvek (PDF).
