VIVATEX™

 

 

 

Our Boat covers are made from 100% cotton army duck canvas. Our canvas is the best on the market today. It has a very high thread count (54 X 42, two by two). This means that in every square inch the weave has 54 passes in one direction and 42 in the other, with 2 threads joined in each pass. The canvas is pre-treated in the mill with Vivatex™ process, making it a marine canvas suitable for outdoor use on land or sea. The mineral dyes used are totally safe, and give it added water repellency and resistance to mold and mildew. The Vivatex™ process pre-shrinks the fabric, and is superior to water-proofing, for it leaves the canvas able to breathe and therefore, not trap moisture.
