In New York, Textile World reported that Carnegie, a provider of sustainable textiles and acoustical management solutions for the commercial industry, announced Carnegie Siltech Plus, a part of the An Ode to Textiles collection.
The firm noted that Siltech Plus is the first high-performance coated upholstery fabric on the market that’s available in a bio-based version.
Siltech Plus features bio-based polyurethane-coated upholsteries made with corn starch. Siltech Plus prioritizes extreme durability, hydrolysis, bleach cleanability, stain resistance, and comes with a 10-year warranty, the firm added.
“Siltech Plus takes inspiration from the timeless charm of vintage design, combining soft textures with a soothing color palette,” said Mary Holt, chief design strategist at Carnegie. “With its biobased composition, Siltech Plus offers a sustainable alternative that significantly lowers the carbon footprint compared to vinyl (PVC) upholstery.”
