If coated with a layer of silver on polyester plastic, it is exactly what we usually refer to the silver umbrella, which has a strong UV protection. But the silver is easy to detach from the fabric after a long time, especially in the folding area.

 

Pongee
PG with high density is a new fabric. The color of PG usually is matte and dark. You have a sense of cotton cloth when touching. What is more, it has a good light resistance. Although the cost of PG is relatively high, it is still a good choice for umbrella fabric because of its anti-ultraviolet function and stability of quality.

However, this fabric has a defact that it is easily influenced by air humidity and shrinks terribly, sometimes even affecting the normal opening and closing of the umbrella.
