Sanders Filmless Membranes (SFM)

The shape, stability and durability of our Filmless Membrane are so impressive that we confidently guarantee it against delamination for three years. Our Filmless Taffeta is treated with a UV-blocking resin and sanitised to resist mildew, ensuring longevity and reliability even in the harshest marine environments. At just 88 g/m², it is lighter than conventional taffetas, enhancing sail efficiency without compromising strength. Available in White, Black, Grey, and Dark Grey, it provides both aesthetic flexibility and superior protection.

• Film (available in 12, 19, and 23 microns / 0.5, 0.75, and 1 mil thickness).
