Frequently Asked Questions Is Crypton a fabric? Yes, it is a textile. Fiber constructions are encapsulated to work within our patented systems. What makes Crypton different from other fabrics? Crypton is the only fabric that offers extreme stain, spill, moisture, odor, and bacteria resistance with its integrated moisture barrier. What uses are there for Crypton? Crypton is the perfect upholstery solution for households with kids, pets or just messy adults. In addition to upholstery, Crypton can be used as drapery, wall coverings, car covers, and more. Crypton has recently unveiled its new line of consumer and pet products. How does Crypton feel? Like it's supposed to! Crypton comes in a range of fabric options: Suede, Wovens, Prints, Twill, Chenille, and even Velvet. Is Crypton safe for kids and pets? Yes, Crypton does NOT contain any toxic chemicals or carcinogens that can be leached out with water, upholstery cleaners, or even saliva from children and pets. Supported by extensive research, our products have been thoroughly tested and found safe for kids and pets — they can even chew on them. What are some of the bacteria and microbes that Crypton protects against? Our fabrics prohibit the growth of molds like Aspergillus Niger and bacteria like Staphylococcus Aureus. Our fabrics' process includes chemistry that prohibits bacteria and mold from spreading. Can I be allergic to Crypton? Most likely not, but highly allergic individuals may want to check with their doctor. We don't use chemistry that comes off the fabric. Some Crypton Fabrics use acrylic latex, but never rubber latex. How can Crypton Fabric be both breathable and provide a moisture barrier? The test for breathability (ASTM-E96) measures the amount of vapor that can pass through the fabric. The pores formed during Crypton's treatment are large enough to let air pass through but small enough to keep water out. Is Crypton covered by any warranty? Yes, we offer a five-year warranty on our moisture barrier. What that means for you is that we absolutely stand by the statement that our fabric will remain spill, moisture, bacteria, and odor-free! Can my fabric be Cryptonized? No. Fabrics must be specifically woven to be compatible with our systems. Is there any vinyl in Crypton? No. There are no plasticizers, and manufacturing the product is far more advanced than a lamination process. Does Crypton have VOCs, PFOAs, or formaldehyde? No. Crypton Super Fabrics do not contain VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that can be emitted over time into the air, adversely affecting indoor air quality. Crypton also uses no PFOAs (perfluorooctanoic acids) during its manufacturing process nor does it use formaldehyde. Can you use Crypton for outdoor applications? Standard Crypton will provide 40+ hours of fading resistance just like
any other interior fabric. 500 hours are recommended for continual outdoor
use. However, Crypton has been used successfully in protected outdoor
areas. Crypton's new outdoor product is colourfast (500+ hours) and
bleach-resistant. It can be used outside for pool or spa settings.
