Knowing how everyday materials impact the environment helps spread awareness and uphold social responsibility in reducing the health and environmental impact of a product. Solis Products, NSW-based experts in window furnishings, proudly brings to Australia REVOLUTION® sunscreen fabric. REVOLUTION® is known to be the first sunscreen fabric in the world that was given a Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Gold.
The Cradle to Cradle Certified™ product design standard serves as the guiding principle for designers and manufacturers to follow through a continuous improvement process. The certification is based on five categories and scaled from Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum -being the highest level of Cradle to Cradle (C2C) certification.
3. Water Stewardship
Water Stewardship includes analyzation of industrial water impacts within the local geography close to the facility. Therefore, water leaving the industrial or manufacturing plants must not be contaminated with hazardous chemicals that can damage the natural balance of the surrounding environment.
4. Renewable Energy
The materials or products must be produced using at least 50% renewable energy; cutting off carbon emission by at least 50%.
5. Social Fairness
The manufacturing process must have a positive impact on the lives of employees and the local community. Operations are designed to provide safety of the people and the environment affected by the production, use, disposal or reuse of the product.
The Cradle to Cradle design philosophy aims to combine the progressive reduction of adverse impacts of textile manufacturing practices to human health and environment.
The manufacturing process of Australia REVOLUTION® sunscreen fabric uses 100% all natural and recyclable materials. Australia REVOLUTION® sunscreen fabric is made from plants that are grown annually. The sugar extracts go through fermentation process where the sugars are converted into lactic acid. The lactic acid is broken down into bioplastic known as polylactic acid (PLA) in the form of granules or pellets. Polylactic acid (PLA) pellets are extruded under pressure and high speed to produce yarns. Polylactic acid (PLA) yarns are then woven into a fabric called Ingeo™.
Ingeo™ serves as the catalyst for a resourceful and creative process of achieving a more sustainable textile option. Ingeo™ fibres are widely known for their natural fibre-based aesthetic, cost-efficiency and high-quality performance benefits that can surpass the traditional synthetic fibres. Ingeo™ fibres make up the core of Solis Products REVOLUTION® sunscreen fabric.
The manufacturing process of REVOLUTION® goes through a series of finishing process to meet the highest quality requirements and standards of the certifying body like the Cradle to Cradle certification.
REVOLUTION® comes in eight neutral colours: Chalk, Marble, Slate, Flint, Sandstone, Basalt, Granite and Nero. It is available with metallised backing and widths of up to 3000mm. Its ultrasonic sealed edges prevents odour build-up and proliferation of mould, and is suitable to use in humid rooms.
For maximum comfort and safety, REVOLUTION® sunscreen fabric is flame retardant. It can also withstand all forms of disinfection which reduce the risk of transferring virus and bacteria. Its high colour brilliance controls the light and shields the eyes against the glare, sunlight and UV rays without blocking the view.
REVOLUTION® sunscreen fabric is suitable to use with roller blinds.
