Stain Resistant Fabric

Crypton is an engineered textile made with pre-tested and approved fabrics with specific fiber and construction requirements to ensure the name Crypton means consistent performance. Approved fibers are permanently transformed with stain and microbial protection through an immersion process and an impenetrable moisture barrier that protects the fabric from spills.

This fabric is engineered with an integrated backing that will never separate, permanently enhancing the performance of the fabric. In fact, Crypton’s technology is so stable it has been deemed a solid surface by the EPA. Unlike Crypton fabrics, laminated fabric can delaminate, creating a pocket between the surface fabric and the lining where moisture can pool, compromising the performance of the fabric and allowing germs to grow.

The patented barrier formula is vapor-permeable, which keeps Crypton comfortable. It is the only fabric that meets or exceeds all of the following heavy duty requirements: stain resistance, water resistance, abrasion, tearing strength, breaking strength, seam slippage, flammability, and resistance to fungal and bacterial growth. Its performance in the hydrostatic resistance test, which measures the ability of a fabric to resist water penetration when water pressure is exerted over its surface, is off the charts!

Crypton’s exceptional protection from stains, odors, moisture and mildew makes cleaning a breeze! Liquid spills bead up and can be blotted off with a clean, dry cloth. Most new stains come off with a clean, damp cloth and water. For more stubborn stains, a mild soap and water mixture is very effective.   

Crypton prohibits the growth of molds, like Aspergillusniger, and bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, E coli, and MRSA, as well as viruses like HIV and Hepatitus. The fabric process also includes chemistry that prohibits bacteria and mold from spreading. Because this chemistry is permanently integrated into the fibers themselves, this chemistry will never wear off, but highly-allergic individuals may want to verify use with their doctor. Some Crypton fabrics use acrylic latex in the construction of their moisture barrier, but never rubber latex.

Crypton is made in the USA. The manufacturer offers a 5-year warranty on the barrier protection for: Crypton, Crypton Green.
