Swimwear Fabric Eclipsepaque LYCRA® Sun Protection


UPF 50+ Eclipsepaque Polyester is a circular knit non-transparent fabric containing ceramic core technology. The Polyester yarn contains ceramic within the central core of its filaments. This technology prevents the “see-through” effect, in turn creating a UV blocking fabric. Due to the construction, the fabric also offers a completely new handle, creating a powdery feel with a graceful drape. Eclipsepaque is the perfect sublimation base when working with fashion swimwear in pastel pallets and large white areas due to the non-transparent effect it creates.
Relaxation of up to 5% is to be expected on all Elastane-based fabrics and is not claimable on Eclipse Textiles. 5% relaxation allowance should be calculated into stock requirement figures. Sublimation bases can react differently from machine to machine. Please ensure you test each fabric as a variation may occur due to machine settings and paper variation.
Custom batches available.

// Do not iron.
// Do not tumble dry.
// Line dry out of direct sunlight.
// Avoid any rough surfaces such as pool edges, dancefloors or rough ground in general.
// Do not pack or store when wet.
