Citel proudly introduces a new, cutting edge, innovative finish that is fluorine-free . Our new, proprietary finish offers many performance benefits including water repellency , stain resistance , enhanced durability and luxurious, soft hand . Specifiers, designers, retailers, and homeowners now have the opportunity to create a healthy and sustainable indoor and outdoor living space which remains durable and functional. BLISS Citel is one step closer to a more environmentally friendly and resilient, performance textile option.
The exclusion of PFAs, associated with many health concerns, from our fabrics is critical for safeguarding human health. As a persistent compound, PFAs can remain in the environment for extended periods, contaminating soil, water, and air, and accumulating in living organisms. This can cause damage to natural ecosystems. Therefore, avoiding its use in fabrics helps reduce environmental pollution and protect ecosystems.
Citel’s investment in R&D, our success in PFAS free manufacturing coupled with the inherent durability and performance of BLISS Citel’s fabrics make our brand the most sustainable option.
At BLISS Citel, our mission is to manufacture performance and d ecorative fabrics made by and for the senses. Our team, leveraging the technical knowledge and resources of Citel –the outdoor performance fabrics manufacturer founded in 1875 in Barcelona – strives to not only demonstrate technical expertise with 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabrics but also to express a philosophy of life.
The solution-dyeing process infuses pigments directly into the fiber molecules, thereby creating far stronger bonds than those obtained by simply dyeing the thread.
Creating is our favorite state of mind—our bliss—and the desire to envision and produce truly special fabrics is our very reason for being.
ADVANTAGES OF 100% SOLUTION-DYED ACRYLIC FABRIC
Maximum color fastness: Solution-dyed acrylic yarn is highly resistant to fading caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight and environmental elements. This ensures that colors remain vibrant and sharp for much longer than other types of yarns.
Durability and Strength: Acrylic fabrics are known for their strength and durability. They can withstand adverse weather conditions such as moisture and UV exposure without compromising their structural integrity or properties.
Easy of Maintenance: The nature of Citel finish (solution-dyed acrylic) makes cleaning and maintaining the fabric easy. It is stain-resistant and can be cleaned easily with water and mild soap, making it ideal for applications requiring regular c leaning.
Environmental Impact: The solution-dyeing process is more environmentally friendly compared to other dyeing methods, as it uses less water and chemicals during production.
Enhanced Outdoor Performance: Due to their fade and weather resistance, solution-dyed acrylic fabrics are a superior choice for outdoor applications such as patio furniture, awnings, cushions, and umbrellas, where weather resistance and durability are essential.
Superior Water Resistance: Laminated fabrics are completely waterproof, ideal for outdoor use exposed to rain or humidity.
Easy Cleaning: The waterproof surface allows for easy cleaning of stains and dirt with just water and mild soap.
