Sunshade fabrics can be categorized into physical and chemical light-blocking methods based on their working principle.
Physical light-blocking utilizes high-density weaving processes to increase the density of warp and weft yarns, forming a physical barrier against light, or achieves light blocking through multi-layered composite structures. Chemical light-blocking employs coating technology; traditional coating processes, such as silver coating, use metal particles to reflect light, while newer environmentally friendly coating technologies include nano-ceramic coatings and graphene coatings.
Based on their actuation or usage method, sunshade fabrics can be divided into ordinary sunshade curtains and motorized sunshade curtains.
Based on function and material, sunshade fabrics include functional light-blocking materials, such as PDLC liquid crystal light-blocking film, electrochromic fibers, bamboo fibers, and seaweed fibers.
