When weighing options for outdoor fabrics, many people wonder about olefin fabric vs acrylic --another fabric commonly used in outdoor cushions and upholstery. The main difference is acrylic is solution-dyed acrylic yarns, while olefin (as mentioned) is made from solution-dyed yarns spun from a polyolefin fiber. Both types of fabric are well-suited to outdoor use, but olefin has several advantages.

在權衡戶外面料的選擇時，許多人想知道烯烴面料與腈綸 - 另一種常用于戶外靠墊和室內(nèi)裝潢的面料。主要區(qū)別在于腈綸是溶液染色的腈綸紗線，而烯烴（如前所述）是由聚烯烴纖維紡成的溶液染色紗線制成的。這兩種類型的織物都非常適合戶外使用，但烯烴有幾個優(yōu)點。

Greater wear-resistance: Olefin fabric is more resistant to wear than acrylic, particularly when it comes to abrasion.

更耐磨：烯烴織物比腈綸更耐磨，尤其是在耐磨方面。

Wider variety of textures and weaves: Compared to acrylic, olefin upholstery fabric is also available in a much wider selection of styles, textures and weaves, which opens up a whole world of exciting design possibilities.

更多種類的紋理和編織：與腈綸相比，烯烴室內(nèi)裝潢面料的款式、紋理和編織方式也更加豐富，這為整個世界開辟了一個令人興奮的設計可能性。

Does not transmit static charge: Unlike acrylic, olefin fabric isn’t prone to transmitting static charges -- a small but important consideration when you’re lounging on your patio furniture wearing shorts!

不傳遞靜電荷：與腈綸不同，烯烴織物不容易傳遞靜電荷——當您穿著短褲躺在露臺家具上時，這是一個小而重要的考慮因素！

There aren’t many disadvantages to using olefin, however, keep in mind that this fabric is heat sensitive and should not be put in a dryer. Rather, allow it to air-dry to keep it in great shape. Also, avoid ironing olefin fabrics whenever possible. If you have to iron olefin, make sure that you use the lowest temperature setting available and a very light touch.

使用烯烴沒有太多缺點，但是請記住，這種織物對熱敏感，不應放入烘干機中。相反，讓它風干以保持良好狀態(tài)。此外，盡可能避免熨燙烯烴織物。如果您必須熨燙烯烴，請確保使用可用的最低溫度設置和非常輕的觸摸。

Luckily, maintenance of olefin is easy: a simple wipe-down with soapy water now and then will keep it looking great. If you’re dealing with a trickier stain, check out our comprehensive cleaning how-to guide for all of Phifer’s designed fabrics.

幸運的是，烯烴的維護很容易：時不時地用肥皂水擦拭一下，就能讓它看起來很棒。如果您正在處理更棘手的污漬，請查看我們針對所有 Phifer 設計面料的全面清潔操作指南。
