By the very nature of the way in which they are used, many fabrics are exposed to harmful conditions and substances that prematurely degrade, age and even destroy them, and this is especially noticeable where fabrics have a high level of exposure, such as those in floor coverings, curtains, clothes and upholstery. Protecting such fabrics from the damaging effect of the sun’s UV rays and staining helps to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the fabric but finding ways in which textiles and fabrics can be protected from micro-organisms and the ravaging effects of fire offers far more substantial benefits.

Australian Hi-Tech Fabric Treatments was founded in 1991 and since our inception, 35 years ago have constantly striven to keep pace with new groundbreaking technologies surrounding fabric protection and we were in fact pioneers in the transition from the use of solvents – that were often toxic in certain conditions, to non-toxic, odourless water based treatments.

Today our fabric treatments are at the cutting edge of technology, utilising safe chemicals and heat to provide differing facets of protection without compromising the feel or look of even the most delicate fabrics like linen and silk.

Flameseal is our flame retardant fabric treatment which is suitable for use on textiles as well as paper wall coverings and leathers, and as such is particularly effective as a flame retardant for curtains, wallpapers and upholstery, significantly resisting the effect of fire. This flame retardant for fabrics is subject to a hi-tec application but once applied provides a permanent, invisible and non-toxic layer of protection from fire which meets Australian and International standards on fire safety; and once your fabrics have been subjected to our fire retardant treatment you will receive appropriate certification.

Along with protecting your fabrics from fire, maintaining hygienic levels of cleanliness is of great importance. Many fabrics harbour numerous micro-organisms including viruses, bacteria, mould and mildew and microscopic mites, all of which can be damaging to your health. Mediseal is one of the foremost antibacterial fabric treatments available today and kills up to 99.9% of all micro-organisms, including the virus responsible for COVID, strains of Herpes and Influenza whilst also eliminating mould and mildew spores and dust mites that live and feed within the fibres of fabrics in your home and workplace. A simple treatment with hypoallergic Mediseal offers long term protection to all fabrics, whether synthetic or natural without any effect on the other characteristics of the fabric.

Sunlight is acknowledged to be highly damaging to most fabrics, causing colours to fade and textiles to degrade leading to untimely levels of wear and tear – curtains and outdoor furniture and furnishings being particularly prone to such damage, but our UV treatment for fabrics, Fadeseal significantly reduces the photo-chemical damage caused to fabrics by UV rays and can extend the useable life of fabrics by 100%. In a similar way, Fabricseal our stain protection for fabrics creates a water and oil resistant covering that prevents most staining, thereby reducing the need for cleaning and preserving the durability of your fabrics.

Whether you are in need of mould protection for curtains, UV fabric protection or a fire retardant treatment, count on Australian Hi-Tech Fabric Treatments to deliver the service that you deserve.
