Data specifications is based on The Association for Contract Textiles (ACT), a professional trade association comprised of companies involved in the design, development, production and promotion of textiles for commercial interiors.

ACT reminds you that there are many points to consider when specifying textiles. Wyzenbeek double rub numbers are only part of the equation in fully assessing a textile’s predicted durability and appearance retention. All of the following issues should be included in any such assessment:

• Type of Setting or Facility
• Specific Demands of End-Use Applications
• Durability Characteristics of the Textile
• Lightfastness
• Physical Properties (Pilling, Seam Slippage, Breaking Strength)
• Colorfastness
​• Surface Abrasion Resistance
• Protocols of Maintenance and Cleaning
• A Material’s Ability to Withstand Cleaning Products and Disinfectants
• Aspects of End Product Manufacturing

ACT Voluntary Performance Guidelines make fabric specification easier. Learn what each ACT Registered Certification Mark represents. Flammability, Wet & Dry Crocking, Colorfastness to Light, Physical Properties, Low Traffic Abrasion and High Traffic Abrasion.
