A solution dyed material, is dyed at the fiber level before it is spun or woven into a fabric. This allows the color to be mixed into the solution thoroughly, bringing the color all the way through the fiber before it is extruded. Polyester can also be stock dyed, but fades faster especially if exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Acrylic canvas is among the leaders in outdoor fabric because the color and strength remain true over many years even after harsh chemical cleaning. Acrylic repels water superiorly to Olefin making it the best choice for application in an outdoor setting.
