core yarns. Textilene® with its proprietary polyvinyl coating, provides

exceptional coating has been formulated to provide maximum chemical
resistance by prudently selecting optimal plasticizers, stabilizers, and
color additives. - Textilene® fabric is resistant to a wide range of inorganic acids
and alkalis. It resists many corrosive inorganic chemicals. The
polyvinyl chloride coating provides excellent water resistance and low
water absorption. It has been shown that most oils, alcohols, aliphatic

designed to resist the transfer of most types of indigo dye. - To clean all Textilene® Brand Fabric, sponge with a solution of one
cup of mild detergent with one cup of household bleach in three gallons
of water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and air-dry completely.
