Vinyl Technical Information
All Meditelle vinyl's are suitable for use
in high risk Infection Control areas and
contain an antimicrobial additive to
provide long-lasting effectiveness even
after regular cleaning which is
proven to be effective against the
spread of MRSA, E coli and other
bacteria on its surface.
Stain Resistance
All Meditelle Vinyl coated fabrics are
hydrophobic and do not absorb water or
retain dampness and can be completely
dried after washing. Resistant to urine,
mild acids/alkalis, drinks and beverages
which can be easily wiped off.
Performance
Meditelle
Contract Grade PVC ensures:
Superior
Thermal Stability
and additional Resistance
to acids & bases (e.g. bleach, cleaning
agents, etc.)
Enhanced Lacquer
formulation providing better adhesion,
abrasion, flexibility and anti-soiling
properties.
Improved Antimicrobial Additive
formula with increased performance
against the spread of bacteria, moulds,
mildews and yeasts, making the fabric
perform better in situations where this
is a priority such as healthcare.
Significantly strengthened
Backing Cloth cotton yarn
elevates strength parameters in all
strength tests performed on our fabric.
Improved Plasticiser
Barrier on vinyl offers better
performance during use. Note:
Our vinyl's are
phthalate free.
Improved ratio of Stabilisers
for PVC & Pigments give better
UV resistance to degradation and enables
higher performance against sunshine and
weather conditions.
