Luxhide

Luxhide - Grade 2

The Luxhide textile is a vinyl-coated fabric with a bonded leather backing, designed to mimic the look and feel of leather. It's easy to clean, highly durable (exceeding 100,000 double rubs), flame-retardant, and bleach-cleanable.

Specifications:

  • Grade 2: The Luxhide textile is classified as Grade 2, which represents a step up from entry-level options. It offers higher quality than Grade 1 fabrics, with a corresponding increase in cost.
  • Content: The fabric consists of a Vinyl (PVC) Coated Fabric Face with a Polyester Liner and a Bonded Leather Backing, creating a durable and leather-like appearance.
  • Width: The fabric is 140cm/54" wide, which is a standard width for upholstery materials.
  • Weight: At 31.5± 1.5 oz/lin.yd. (ounces per linear yard), this is a heavy-weight material suitable for upholstery.
  • Cleaning: The WS code means it can be cleaned with water-based cleaners or solvent-based cleaners. Additionally, it is BC (Bleach Cleanable) at a 9:1 ratio, allowing for more thorough sanitization.
  • Abrasion: The fabric exceeds 100,000 double rubs in both warp and fill directions in the Wyzenbeek Method test, indicating high durability and resistance to wear.
  • Flammability: The fabric meets several fire safety standards, including UFAC Class 1, BIFMA Class A, CAL TB117-2013, and NFPA 260A.
  • Light Fastness: The fabric is tested according to ASTM D5053-03 for resistance to fading from light exposure, though the specific rating is not provided.
  • Breaking Strength: This measures the fabric's ability to withstand tension. The warp (lengthwise) can withstand 115 lbs of force, while the fill (crosswise) can withstand 120 lbs.

These specifications indicate that the Luxhide textile is a highly durable, easy-to-clean, and flame-retardant material suitable for office chair upholstery
