Product catalog summary

Product Overview

The document presents the LAC SLF range of tensile architecture fabrics by Saint Clair Textiles, including LAC 720 SLF, LAC 950 SLF, LAC 1050 SLF, and LAC 1050 SLF BO. These fabrics are designed for tensile architectural applications, featuring high durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic qualities.

Product Specifications

LAC 720 SLF: 720 g/m², 3.00 m width, 60-250 lm length, Type I, both sides weldable, PVDF lacquered finish.
LAC 950 SLF: 950 g/m², 3.00 m width, 60-200 lm length, Type II, both sides weldable, PVDF lacquered finish.
LAC 1050 SLF and LAC 1050 SLF BO: 1050 g/m², 3.00 m width, both sides weldable, PVDF lacquered finish. The BO version offers blackout properties.

Performance and Durability

The fabrics incorporate Saint Clair Textiles’ unique LOWICK anti-wicking system, which impregnates the yarn coating to enhance longevity and maintain appearance. Reinforced formulations improve resistance to environmental factors such as UV exposure, temperature variations, and humidity.

Key protective additives include thermal stabilizers, UV stabilizers, fungicide protection, pigments, PVC, and plasticizers.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The Cleangard topcoat lacquer on both sides provides a smooth surface that resists soiling and facilitates easy cleaning, contributing to longer fabric life and maintaining aesthetic quality.

Solar and Optical Properties

LAC 720 SLF: 75% solar reflection, 0.08 solar factor (fabric + glazing), 15% solar absorption, 15% translucency.
LAC 950 SLF: 76% solar reflection, 0.07 solar factor, 16% solar absorption, 12% translucency.

Durability and Ageing

Accelerated ageing tests (3750 hours, equivalent to 15 years in Southern France) confirm the fabrics maintain mechanical strength and aesthetic appearance with minimal degradation. Tests comply with EN 16472:2014 standard.

Weld resistance is tested at 70°C for 24 hours to simulate extreme conditions, ensuring safety and durability of welded joints.

Aesthetic and Comfort Features

Maintains color transparency and homogeneity through controlled raw materials and visual inspections.
Thermal and visual comfort options include blackout (LAC 1050 SLF BO) and classic SLF versions, offering varying light transmission and thermal comfort.

Advantages Summary

All-weather resistance with smooth, less soiling-prone surface.
Easy cleaning and longer lifespan due to Cleangard topcoat.
Excellent weldability.
Enhanced resistance to environmental ageing factors.

Standards and Certifications

Products comply with multiple standards including NF EN ISO 1421 (tensile strength), DIN 53363 (tear strength), NF EN ISO 2411 (adhesion), NF EN 15619 (elongation and deformation), NF EN 1876-2 (temperature resistance), NF P 92503, DIN 4102, BS 7837, NFPA701, and others for flame retardancy.
