Aurora Specialty Textiles Group Inc. has announced the addition of Encore FR™ to its Weaves of Green™ line of 100 percent recycled polyester fabrics. Made from post-consumer plastic drink bottles, Encore FR is the most substantive fabric in the Weaves Of Green collection, constructed of spun yarns which give it the drape and hand of a natural fiber fabric but with the rugged texture and the durability of polyester.
The fabric is treated to meet the NFPA 701 small-scale flammability standard for indoor use, but is also durable enough for short-term outdoor use. It’s compatible with sublimation transfer and UV cure printing and is currently available in 100 yard rolls, 58 inches wide. Possible applications include office and home décor, custom upholstery, window graphics, retail POP and indoor/outdoor signs and banners. Printed hand samples and sample rolls are available.
