Specialty Fabrics Review April 2023 - 51

make that last as long as possible? " he
says. " Stain protection and backings
can increase durability significantly.
Some fabrics, by the addition of stain
protection and light knit backing, can
have their life span nearly doubled. "
What about advancements in
areas such as flame retardancy and
antimicrobials? " It's quiet, it's very
quiet, " says Rosenstein. Instead, he
says many of the projects his company
is working on " are the types of things
you'd see on Shark Tank. "
" Can you do it? "
" People are coming to us and saying,
'Here's what we want to do; can you
do it?' " he says. " They might say, 'I
am doing this overseas, but I want a
domestic supplier in the United States.
Can you help?' I'm getting more Shark
Tank-type projects than ever before.
I don't know if that's because there
are more entrepreneurs out there
or Kickstarter campaigns. But it has
nothing to do with PFAS. "
In the end, fabric finishing in
many ways comes down to tradeoffs.
" If you're trying to use a highly
renewable resource to make fibers, it
can be difficult to make it durable for
commercial applications, " says Banks.
" But it does seem that designers are
wanting those products as natural and
as green as possible. What's driving
their choices is what is beautiful and
what is sustainable. The question for
us is how do we increase the usefulness
and durability of these fabrics while
retaining the same look and feel? "
Jeff Moravec is a freelance writer based
in Brooklyn Park, Minn.
