Built to Brave the Elements: Discover Recacril & Recwater

When it comes to marine-grade textiles, durability and elegance are essential. Recasens, a global leader in technical fabrics, has mastered the art of combining high-performance engineering with refined aesthetics. Whether you're outfitting a sleek yacht or crafting a resilient awning for coastal climates, Recasens offers solutions that stand up to sun, salt, and storm.

Let’s dive into what makes Recasens fabrics exceptional and explore the Recasens products available at Perfect Fit: Recacril® Marine and Recwater.

Recasens: Innovation Woven Into Every Thread

Recasens fabrics are crafted from solution-dyed acrylic yarns, a process that infuses color into the fiber before it’s even spun. This technique ensures vibrant hues that resist fading, even under relentless UV exposure. But the magic doesn’t stop there:

The Infinity Process

Recasens applies its proprietary Infinity Process to all Recacril®, Recacril® Marine, Recsystem®, and Recwater canvases. This high-tech finish uses nanoparticles to coat each fiber, creating a permanent shield against:

  • Mold and mildew
  • Water and oil
  • Dirt and environmental damage

The result? Fabrics that maintain their beauty and integrity for years, with minimal maintenance.

Manufacturing Excellence

From spinning to weaving, every step of the Recasens production line is optimized for strength, dimensional stability, and ease of fabrication. Their tight weave structure supports sharp, high-definition printing, which is ideal for branding or decorative applications.

Recacril® Marine: Elegance Meets Endurance

Designed specifically for marine environments, Recacril® Marine is the go-to fabric for boat tops, Biminis, enclosures, awnings, and more. Available in both 47 inch and 60 inch widths, it’s engineered to adapt to the complex contours of nautical and outdoor structures.

Key Features:

  • Superior colorfast solution-dyed acrylic fibers hold up in salty, sun-drenched conditions
  • Enhanced Infinity Process for increased waterproofing and a softer, more supple touch
  • Essential UPF 80+ protection to shield passengers and interiors from harmful UV rays
  • Easy fabrication thanks to a superior smooth surface, weight and flexible hand

Recacril® Marine isn’t just tough; it’s tailored for the sea.

Recwater: Total Waterproof Protection with PVC Power

For vessels and awnings that face extreme watery weather conditions, Recwater is the ultimate defense. This 60" wide marine-grade fabric combines the elegance of solution-dyed acrylic with the rugged impermeability of PVC backing.

Why Recwater Stands Out:

  • 100% waterproof thanks to its acrylic face and PVC-coated backing
  • Improved oil and water repellency on the PVC side
  • Refined look comes from textile-inspired embossing, lasting even in heavy-duty applications
  • Excellent dimensional stability that resists cracking, delamination, and warping
  • Ideal finish and durability for rainy climates and high-impact marine use

Recwater is heavier and more robust than Recacril®, making it perfect for boats navigating harsh conditions or awnings and enclosures in wet, windy regions.
