Vinyl of the Week: Abocado

-


This weeks Vinyl of the Week is ABOCADO. Earth-friendly, with no plasticizers, Abocado has a leather-like appearance and a soft, supple hand that is easy to fabricate. Abocado, which is Enduratex’ first PU collection, offers a stunning color palette and aesthetic perfect for hospitality designers and a cleaning protocol that hotel owners/operators will embrace.

This cleanable polyurethane (PU) may be disinfected with a diluted bleach solution, making it a breeze for housekeeping teams to keep it looking new.  Another key benefit to Abocado is the tricot-knit polyester backing, which eliminates  ‘puddling’ worries that have previously presented challenges to the industry. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers a polyurethane collection that meets our performance standards.

 Abocado showed superb resistance to hydrolysis in the seven-week “Jungle Test,” once again proving that the right textile can be beautiful, soft and tough at the same time.

ABOCADO is made of Polyurethane and features a Polyester backing. The line is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, has an abrasion resistance of 100,000 cycles #10 cotton duck on the Wyzenbeek, has a nominal weight of 21 oz per linear yard, is .9 mm thick and come in 21 stunning SKUs.

Color and Autism

Throughout my career I ’ ve helped countless frustrated parents of autistic children to make empowering color choices for their kids ’ environments. My experiences of getting to know these families inspired me to research the effect of color on people with ASD and to offer solutions for creating colorfully harmonious environments. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 88 children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As more and more children are diagnosed, it ’ s imperative that parents and design professionals be aware of the specific requirements for this growing population. Special consideration needs to be given when selecting colors, finishes, lighting and storage. Does your child avoid a certain room in the house or an area of his classroom? The culprit may simpler than you think. Your child may be avoiding these areas because they ’ re too colorfully decorated. ASD children and adults tend to have heightened sen

1.    What was your initial vision for Enduratex? Has Enduratex become what you envisioned it would, or has the vision changed with time? Jeff: My original vision for Enduratex was to build it as a ‘household name’ in the markets we served. We were known as CGPC back then and I made it a point to make sure that we got the brand Enduratex out there and that over time, we became known as Enduratex. People began to call us Enduratex and I recognized the need to promote that name. I think we have accomplished a tremendous job in re-branding ourselves and making the brand name of ENDURATEX one that is known and respected. 2.    What qualities define a ‘dream team’? What constitutes a strong team and how have you tried to develop your team into a ‘dream team’? Jeff: The qualities of a dream team: persistence, tenacity, a winner takes all attitude and a servants heart- somebody who is willing to do all the work without taking any of the glory. I think I’ve tried
