Anzea's High Performers: Fabrics that perform Best for colorfastness are Solution Dyed
Colorfastness
All of Anzea’s textiles pass the ACT Standards
for contract textiles. One of the most
important standards to pass is the colorfastness standard. Colorfastness is the ability of a material to
resist color change or color transfer when exposed to various physical and
environmental conditions during processing, storage or use. Although dozens of tests evaluate aspects of
colorfastness, panel and upholstery fabrics are most commonly tested for
Colorfastness to Light (AATC 16) and Colorfastness to Crocking (AATC 8). Crocking is the transfer of dye from the
upholstery to another surface. At Anzea
we make sure that our products not only look great but will perform under some
of the harshest conditions. With our major
markets being healthcare and hospitality we must continually develop products
that can handle being exposed to harsh cleaning methods and extended hours of
light exposure.
Fabrics that perform best for colorfastness
are solution dyed. These can be nylon,
polyester or acrylic. Frames is just one of Anzea’s products that is
indoor/outdoor woven in Bella-Dura solution dyed acrylic. It had a colorfastness to light rating of
1500 hours and a 5 (the highest) rating for crocking. It is also bleach cleanable. Frames was designed by Jhane Barnes and is
sold exclusively by Anzea.
Coated fabrics of nylon, polyvinyl or
polyurethane also perform at the highest standards. Our outdoor fabrics have
been specifically engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to light as well
as hot and cold weather conditions. Anzea’s Out & About is an indoor/outdoor coated fabric that has
ultra violet resistance of 1400 hours. It
is also mildew resistant, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and can be cleaned
with bleach. It has a 5 (the highest) rating
for crocking.
