The Mitchell Group, a major converter of coated fabrics to upholstery markets around the world, is proud to announce that it now holds the highest hydrolysis rating for polyurethane fabrics in the industry. Recent hydrolysis tests for the company’s Sta-Kleen Polyurethane and Sta-Kleen Polycarbonate lines have returned unprecedented results, setting a new benchmark for durability and performance in the performance textiles market.

- Sta-Kleen Polyurethane
- Wet process: 19 weeks (includes Bubble and Harmony patterns)
- Dry process: 24 weeks (includes Highwood, Hudson, Lodge, Payson, and Tucson patterns)
- Sta-Kleen Polycarbonate
- All patterns: 24 weeks
Bill Fisch, president of The Mitchell Group, expressed his pride in the company’s continued commitment to innovation and quality. “Our Sta-Kleen Polyurethane and Sta-Kleen Polycarbonate products are designed to provide unmatched durability and longevity for our customers, and this new rating affirms that we’re delivering on our promise of superior performance.
