THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
The spun polyester material that we use of our Poly-Max U.S. Outdoor Flags is produced with a Jet Dying process. Our Jet Dying process forces the dye molecules into the fabric at 265 F. Polyester materials which are dyed with a beam process cannot attain temperatures over 210 F thus producing a ring dyeing effect. The dye molecules are forced into the substrate and subsequently dye only the outermost parts of the fiber. If you are looking for a flag that exhibits superior wetfastness, lightfastness and a more luxurious hand, then our Jet dyed Poly-Max Flags are your only choice.
How Long Should a Flag Last?
There is no definite answer to this question. How long any flag will last depends on the weather, it’s location, airborne contamination and how often you fly your flag. Remember, your flag is a piece of cloth that works very, very hard. Throughout its lifetime your flag shakes, trembles, drapes, snaps, chafes, bakes, freezes, ripples, flutters, furls, twists, flaps, strains, flies, unfurls and hangs! Is it any wonder that a flag that flies continuously needs replacing two or times year? Wind, water, sun and carelessness are the major enemies of a flag. No one can control the weather but you can take some important steps to lengthen the life of your flag. Occasionally washing your flag in warm detergent water will prevent pollutants and dirt from weakening the fabric. Always let your flag dry thoroughly before storing it to prevent mildew or color transfer. At the first sign of fraying, have your flag repaired before further damage is done. Always keep your flagpole as clean as possible and move your pole if your flag does not have adequate room to fly unobstructed.
