Bella-Dura® facts
What is Bella-Dura® ?
High-performance fabrics that inherently resist pilling, staining, or fading, making them ideal for any design application— indoors or out.
Solution Dyed
Bella-Dura® is solution-dyed, meaning color is integrated into the very fiber- allowing heavy cleaning without fading.
Exceptionally Durable
While acrylic fibers are prone to pilling and abrasion, Bella-Dura® proprietary yarns are not. Tested to the highest abrasion standards, Bella-Dura® fabrics perform well beyond expectations. Every time.
Bleach Cleanable
For most spills, a mild soap-and-water solution is all that is required, but Bella-Dura® fabric can be safely cleaned with bleach— a crucial detail in settings where regular cleaning and disinfecting are of the utmost importance.
Fade Resistant
Bella--Dura® yarns meet or exceed 1,500 lightfast hours, and the fabrics will resist fading, even when exposed to hot sun or dry temperatures.
Sustainable
Fully recyclable, Bella-Dura® proprietary yarns begin as a by-product and end as a usable product for the manufacturing of many common goods.
Tweakable
Made in the USA
Still confused about California's Proposition 65?
You are not alone trying to decipher the various ins and outs of California's Prop 65!What started out in 1986 as a "safe drinking water" California law has evolved over time requiring businesses to provide a clear and reasonable warning before exposing individuals to products containing chemicals that may cause cancer or reproductive harm.
Please note that businesses could face serious legal repercussions if it is determined that a Prop 65 warning was not included when it was required. When your company intends to use Douglass Fabrics as a component in a product(s) sold into the State of California, we recommend that you take steps to determine whether the warning requirements apply.
Remember your company is solely responsible for determining whether your finished consumer product needs to be labeled in compliance with Prop 65.
Additional information can be found at… www.p65warnings.ca.gov.
Our team is available to assist you further with any questions or concerns you may have on our products. Please contact info@dougind.com for additional information.
California 117 Test - simplified
The newly revised Cal 117 2013 test method uses a cigarette as an ignition source where the earlier version used an open flame. Both methods evaluate the ease of ignition along with the char length to determine a pass/fail rating. In accordance with the updated testing requirements, all new fabrics (introduced January 1st 2015 and beyond) shipped to the State of California, must pass Cal 117 2013.
All upholstery products introduced prior to December 31st 2014, are "grandfathered in". However, depending on the local fire marshal' s requirements, furniture manufacturers and end users in California can still use the original Cal 117, UFAC or NFPA 260 certificates going forward.
