About Crypton

Crypton fabric is engineered to be a high-performance textile that meets or exceeds heavy-duty contract fabric test requirements. It is highly stain-resistant, durable, and comes with a five-year warranty on its moisture barrier, ensuring it remains spill, moisture, bacteria, and odor-free.

Key features include:

  • Performance: Achieves high ratings in stain resistance (Class 4-5), lightfastness, tear and tensile strength, and resists fungal and bacterial growth. It also passes various flammability tests, including NFPA 260 and UFAC Class 1.
  • Abrasion Resistance: Contract-grade Crypton exceeds 50,000 double rubs, while residential-grade exceeds 15,000 double rubs.
  • Moisture Barrier & Anti-microbial Protection: It prevents spills and moisture from penetrating cushions, inhibiting the growth of microbial organisms and bacteria, which helps prevent odors.
  • Safety: Crypton fabrics are safe for children and pets, as they do not contain toxic chemicals, heavy metals, carcinogens, VOCs, PFOAs, or formaldehyde.
  • Variety: Available in various textures like suede, wovens, prints, twill, chenille, and velvet.
  • Availability: Architects and designers can source Crypton through distributors listed on their website.

It's important to note that existing fabrics cannot be "Cryptonized" as they must be specifically woven to be compatible with Crypton's patented systems.
