Crypton Green is a proprietary treatment produced by the company Crypton. The treatment for textiles is used to resist stains and inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungus, while creating an impermeable barrier. Crypton Green is a two-pass process where the antimicrobial and stain resistant treatments are applied to the surface of the textile and then an impermeable treatment is applied to the back of the textile. With silver ion technology, Crypton Green also prohibits the growths of bacteria, virus, odor, mold, and fungus. In addition, the integrated impermeable barrier prevents liquids and stains from penetrating into the product.
Crypton Green has higher environmental cautious standards and must meet one of the following criteria: 50- to 100-percent recycled; 100-percent heavy-metal-free polyester; 100-percent wool with heavy-metal-free dyes; or 100-percent polypropylene. Crypton Green fabric pass Section 01350 emissions requirements and are MBDC Cradle to Cradle Silver certified.
Crypton Green can be applied to flat woven, knits, textured, and printed fabrics, as well as synthetic and natural fibers. The fabric can be used in moderate- to high-traffic areas, such as healthcare and hospitality environments, restaurants, and public spaces. Adding Crypton Green treatment does not change the color or the hand of the fabric.
