Vinyl-Tex™ with VK-2000™ for Textured Fabrics This proprietary process provides surface protection for textured fabrics such as tapestries, damasks and wovens. The Vinyl-Tex™ process allows the vinyl to conform to the peaks and valleys of the fabric maintaining its texture. VK-2000™, the special ingredient in Vinylizing and Vinyl-Tex™ provides • Even stronger bond • Enhanced anti-microbial protection • Increased surface protection • Improved hygiene • More durability than ever! Vinylized fabrics will retain their quality and last longer than untreated materials. They are easy to maintain since they can virtually be wiped clean. Security and Comfort Furniture manufactured using Vinylized fabric provides a sense of comfort and security to those suffering from incontinence. Studies show that residents in senior healthcare facilities will be more likely to venture out of their living quarters knowing an accident will not damage the furniture. In short, vinylizing the fabric will increase the quality of life for such residents.

technical considerations Care and Use • Vinylized fabrics can be wiped clean with a mild detergent and water • Upholstering with Vinylized fabrics works best with hard cushions • Ensure proper ventilation as with any upholstery application • Vinylized fabrics are not weatherproof and should not be used outdoors or exposed to prolonged high humidity • Fabric colors are subject to minor variations Testing Vinylized cotton fabric passed the Wyzenbeek Abrasion test (ASTM D-4157) for wearability. The results were no noticeable wear after 15,000 double rubs. Other independent tests showed that after 200,000 double rubs, there was no noticeable wear. Vinylized fabrics pass the “UFAC Fabric Classification Test method 1990” and “NFPA 260-1989” (previously “NFPA 260”) (i.e. cigarette ignition tests). Material requirements Fabrics up to 62” wide can be processed. Vinyl film width is 60”. The minimum acceptable fabric width is 36”. When fabric is over 62” wide, we must slit the material in order to accommodate the Vinylizing process; additional charges apply.
