Made in the usa
Twitchell Technical Products LLC, located in Dothan, Alabama, produces PVC coated polyester fabrics, which carry the trademark name Textilene® and which are used in an array of applications.
Premium pigment selection
The pigments that produce Twitchell’s products are very UV stable. The majority of the pigments that fit these criteria are only produced and sold in the US and Europe not the Far East. In laboratory tests they are designed to last more than 1200 hours under Xenon and QUV light exposure. This in the natural sunlight produces many years without degradation.
Superior Plasticizer
Textilene® is comprised of a specialized plasticizer, a softening agent for PVC, which is very slow to exude. This specialized product also a non-phthalate based plasticizer which makes it safe to use in contact with children. Other plasticizers tend to leach at a faster rate causing fabrics to degrade sooner. Some of these plasticizers are also listed on California’s Proposition 65 and require special labeling.
