TRELLEB ORG ENGINE ER E D COAT ED FAB R I CS Fact Sheet: Dartex® Zoned Coatings An innovative concept for medical support surfaces, Dartex® Zoned Coatings by Trelleborg allows different areas of the support surface to perform multiple functions on a single cover. Is this the ultimate medical support surface? How does it work? The support surface cover is ‘zoned’ to create specific areas of functionality in conjunction with targeted areas of the mattress core. High friction / low slip sides for improved patient and mattress handling KEY BENEFITS • Zone your mattress cover in harmony with the mattress core for ultimate performance. • Unlimited options and combinations – on one roll of fabric for efficient manufacturing. Durable, abrasion-resistant central panel High friction / low slip sides for improved patient and mattress handling Multiple ‘zoning’ combinations are possible, depending on the end use of the mattress. Coating options include: • Abrasion resistance to protect against mechanical damage • Chemical resistance for durability and long lifetime • High, Low or Easy Stretch fabric options available: • High friction / low slip for improved patient and mattress handling • Highly breathable for patient comfort • Low friction / high slip for improved patient and mattress handling • Static dissipation for operating rooms • Use Zoned Coatings process to change the stretch properties within each zone • Need something different? Talk to our technical team • Multiple physical properties without joins, welds or seams. • Trusted Dartex® polyurethane coating technology from Trelleborg for patient comfort and quality. 71ºC & 95ºC machine washable Dyed and Scour fabrics available No delamination Eco flame retardant: Crib 5 CAL 117 BS7175, sources 0, 1, 5 conforms when when used with a suitable combustion modified foam CTB117-2013 – Class B Anti-Microbial Tested to AATCC Test Method 30 (Aspergillus niger) and ISO 22196 (k. pneumoniae) Bio-compatibility (ISO10993-5) Cytotoxicity = < Grade 1 (ISO10993-10) Skin Irritation – classed as non-irritant; Skin Sensitisation – considered to be non-sensitiser Fungistatic Contains an anti-fungal / antimicrobial agent to control microbial deterioration; The products do not contain any nano materials Base fabric (under) – High friction / low slip for improved mattress handling Recommended cleaning Always follow the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
