What is Acrylic in Technical Textiles?

Acrylic is a synthetic fiber developed as a lightweight and resistant alternative to natural fibers. Its appearance is reminiscent of wool, but with far superior technical performance, offering excellent resistance to sunlight, moisture, and weathering.

 

In the field of technical fabrics, acrylic is used in both indoor and outdoor applications, thanks to its ability to maintain its shape, color, and feel even in extreme weather conditions.

 

At Alonso Mercader, we develop collections of technical acrylic fabrics that adapt to the needs of sectors as diverse as hospitality, catering, nautical, and communities, always ensuring the best balance between durability, comfort, and design.

This makes it an ideal material for architects, interior designers, upholsterers, and specifiers looking for durable and aesthetically appealing textile solutions.

Technical acrylic fabric stands out for a number of properties that make it one of the most highly valued materials in the professional upholstery sector.

 

Weather resistance

Acrylic is an ideal material for outdoor spaces and nautical environments, as it withstands UV radiation, humidity, and temperature changes without losing color or texture.

 

Durability and easy maintenance

Its stain resistance and ability to repel liquids make technical acrylic a long-lasting material, even in environments subject to intensive use or frequent cleaning.

 

Comfort and textile aesthetics

Unlike other synthetics, acrylic retains a soft, warm texture to the touch, offering a visual and sensory result very similar to natural fabrics.

 

Color stability

The mass dyeing process ensures that colors remain vibrant for years, even on furniture exposed to sunlight or outdoors.

 

Design versatility

Available in multiple finishes, colors, and textures, acrylic adapts to all types of interior design projects, from minimalist concepts to more sophisticated proposals.

Alonso Mercader’s technical acrylic is used in a wide variety of sectors:

  • Contract: armchairs, sofas, and headboards in common areas of hotels, offices, or public spaces.
  • Hospitality and catering: indoor and outdoor furniture subject to intensive use, such as chairs, terraces, and decorative panels.
  • Nautical: upholstery in boats and yachts, resistant to moisture, saltpeter, and solar radiation.
  • Furniture and transportation: durable fabrics for chairs, vehicle seats, and everyday furniture.
  • Aviation: lightweight, fire-resistant, and friction-resistant upholstery in cabins and seats.
