ULTRAFABRICS GOLDEN WARRANTY Q&A
Here are a few answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Delamination?
Delamination is failure in a laminated material, often a composite, which leads
to separation of the layers of reinforcement or plies. Delamination failure can
be of several types, such as:
- fracture within the adhesive or resin
- fracture within the reinforcement
- debonding of the resin from the reinforcement
From Ultrafabrics: Our proprietary Takumi™ Technology makes up the DNA
of every roll leaving our mill. Continually perfected, Takumi is the only process
able to achieve the premium quality of Ultrafabrics. This innovative process
engineers mastered performance directly into four layers - combining them
into one unified system that assures enduring bond strength and longevity.
What is Crocking?
Crocking occurs when excess dye rubs off of one fabric onto another fabric.
The rubbing-off of dye from a fabric as a result of insufficient dye penetration
of fixation, the use of improper dyes or dyeing methods or insufficient washing
and treatment after the dyeing operation. Crocking can occur under either
wet or dry conditions.
From Ultrafabrics: Our products do not crock. There is no dye utilized in our
manufacturing process. The color is achieved by mixing the color into the
polyurethane top skin then laminating the skin to the foam layer creating one
unified system.
What is Fading?
Fading refers to the diminishing of color or tones usually caused by excessive
exposure to light. Ultraviolet rays can break down the chemical bonds and
thus fade the color(s) in an object - it is a bleaching effect. Some objects may
be more prone to fading, such as dyed textiles and watercolors. Other objects
may reflect the light more, which makes them less prone to fade.
From Ultrafabrics: Ultrafabrics products are manufactured to pass the AATCC
16.3 testing method. This test measures a product's color fastness to light
for indoor applications. Our products meet or exceed 200 hours of direct
exposure to a Xenon Arc light source.
What is covered under Ultrafabrics' workmanship?
The most common kind of warranty on goods is a warranty that the product
is free from defects in materials and workmanship. This simply promises that
Ultrafabrics properly constructed the product, out of proper materials, and
implies the products will perform as well as such products customarily do.
