UV and fabric
24 January 2012 | Fort Lauderdale
One of our (little ) projects on the boat was to replace our flag.
We have heard that White fabrics are more affected by UV than other colors. The flag proves it out. You will note that the White stripes are gone at the trailing edge where the red still has life in it.
We are guessing that this is because light is reflected within the fabric... where other colors absorb the light, so the surface of the fabric is the only part that is affected... let me know if you know the actual reason...
