Types of SuperFabric® materials

SuperFabric® is not just a single material, rather a diverse collection of materials built around the technology of SuperFabric. Small, hard guard plates in many patterns, sizes, color, and configurations embedded onto a fabric is the essence of SuperFabric® materials. With that comes inherent functionality, properties, and performance. Additional functionality can be incorporated such as reflectivity. Below, we classify SuperFabric® materials into these categories:



STANDARD

SuperFabric® standard fabrics are ones that have larger inventory volumes, and good pricing. Our standard products allow designers to quickly determine the best fit for their application. Call your SuperFabric® sales rep for the latest in pricing and information.



ANTIMICROBIAL

Am99™ and AmFr™ are two classes of SuperFabric® materials that retards and kills viruses, bacteria, fungi, and mold on the SuperFabric® itself. This has exciting market applications in many industries.



FIRE/FLAME RESISTANT

SPECIALTY

CUSTOM

MULTI COLORED
