SPA contributes to a better indoor environment. By creating a

molecular shield around every fiber it ensures the following:

✓ Non hazardous (no CFC/PFOS/PFOA)✓ Little or no chemicals needed (maintenance)✓ Inert material without active chemicals or properties✓ Increases durability and product life cycle (up to 100%)✓ Decreases the friction between the fibers, which results

in a reduction in fluctuation of dust and fabric fibers✓ Prevents the spreading of bacterial growth, fungus and

mold, thus improving the indoor air quality

How

The Fiber ProTector product forms an

invisible shield around the fibers,

providing an effective barrier against all

kinds of organic matter, fluids, dust and

debris, that on unprotected textiles would

result in permanent stains. It adds UV

protection, and does not affect surface

texture and breathability.

Areas of application

✓ furniture/upholstery✓ carpets✓ curtains/draperies✓ bed linen/blankets/mattresses

Application

Fiber ProTector has a water based (WB) solution and a

solvent based (SB) solution. WB solution is used on

old/used fabric (thorough cleaning, using an extraction

machine, is essential prior to application of the WB

product, to ensure the best possible result). SB solution

is used on new/clean fabric.

WB

Water based solution - used for ‘wet in wet’ application,

immediately after a fabric cleaning, when the fabric is

still wet. Approximately 8 hours curing time, and 24

hours till dry (as usual when doing extraction).

SB

Solvent (isopropanol) based solution - used for dry

application, when the fabric is new and clean.

Approximately 1 hour curing time/till dry.

Maintenance

✓ regular vacuuming is usually sufficient

✓ wet spill stain - simply blot up with a

dry absorbent paper towel

✓ dried spill stain - simply use a

microfiber cloth wetted with plenty of

warm water, then blot up with a dry

absorbent paper towel

In most cases, no chemicals or shampoo

needed or to be used during regular

maintenance. If problems, use a ph neutral

cleaning agent.

“Fiber ProTector conducted protection of

our new furniture at the SAS crew lounge

at Oslo Airport five years ago. The

furniture treated has since then not

received any cleaning or extraction and

we thought we had to replace them. But

an extraction brought the furniture back

to original state, as new! This saved us a

lot of money.”

RCCL’s great cruise ship “Radiance of the seas” is one of many cruise ships that has treated their carpets and furniture with Fiber ProTector.

“On board ships, cruise passengers expect seating, carpets, curtains and similar materials to be spotless.The application of Fiber ProTector treatments can help the cruise operator maintain high standards, enabling housekeeping staff on board to remove organic stains more quickly and easily. Consequently, areas that require cleaning are rarely out of commission for long during cruise operations”

”Our custom hand tufted wool carpet is not

complete until it is treated with Fiber

ProTector. We want our distinctive carpet to

retain its original appearance for as long as

possible and there is no better shield from the

rigours and abuse of an active aircraft cabin.

We encourage our aerospace customers to

treat all of their textiles and carpets with this

great product.”
