New High Performance Fabrics Look to World of Competitive Sports
Sina Pearson, designer/manufacturer of New York City-based Sina Pearson Textiles, premieres Fast Track, a new high performance upholstery fabric collection. Five complementary patterns in a total of 30 colorways reference iconic athletic motifs and colors from the world of competitive sports. The collection consists of a knit mesh, a textured chenille, a PVC-free polyurethane, a bleach cleanable polyester/acrylic, and an indoor/outdoor Sunbrella® Contract jacquard weave. Fast Track is ideal for workplace, healthcare, institutional, hospitality, or any application calling for visually striking, exceptionally durable solutions.
Five patterns in a total of 30 colorways. Marathon is a large scale pattern featuring dramatic diagonal bars that seem to be on the move. It is offered in five colorways, a palette that includes coral, lime green, electric blue, mint, purple and grey. Woven of Sunbrella Contract yarns and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, Marathon is colorfast, mildew-resistant, soil-, stain- and water-repellant. Fleecey is a coordinating solid-color chenille also woven of Sunbrella Contract yarns, available in beige, white, grey and charcoal. Both Marathon and Fleecey are bleach cleanable and harsh chemical-safe. Relay, in seven rich iridescent hues, is a PVC-free, anti-microbial and anti-bacterial polyurethane. Mesh is a dimensional polyester knit intended for both upholstery and wall covering application. Reminiscent of high-tech running gear, it is offered in nine vivid solid colors and neutrals, including tangerine, citron, cobalt and silver. Sprinter is a fine line pattern inspired by a race track, offered in five colorways. Woven of bleach cleanable, recycled polyester and nylon yarns, it has an Incase® stain-repellant finish.
Durable. All five patterns exceed the Association of Contract Textiles’ standard for high performance, with the following Wyzenbeek abrasion test results: Marathon, Relay, Mesh and Sprinter: 100,000 double rubs; Fleecey: 45,000 double rubs.
Sustainable. Marathon and Fleecey (Sunbrella Contract) are woven in the U.S.A. and meet ACT’s FactsCM silver level, a sustainability ratings system developed by the Association of Contract Textiles. The program evaluates a textile for environmental, economic and social aspects across its life cycle. The silver level demonstrates the fabric conforms to the rigors of the multi-attribute standard NSF-ANSI 336, and is third-party certified. Relay (the polyurethane) is PVC-free and contains no formaldehyde, phthalate, BPA, lead or heavy metal. Sprinter is woven in the U.S.A. of post-consumer recycled fibers; dyeing and finishing occur within 500 miles of the mill, all of which contribute to LEED points.
