Amsterdam's Central Hospital and the General Hospital in Utrecht are two large regular users of the LIPS services and use fire-resistive bed linen and curtains made of Securelle.
LIPS Textielservice Purchasing Manager Ronald Oostveen, explains "Before deciding in favor of Securelle, we tested a selection of fire-resistive fabrics.
Securelle came out best. It did not lose its fire-resistive properties, even after repeated washing and drying in industrial machines, and had had the further spin-off advantage of being extremely color-fast.
Another plus-point is that these textiles are exceptionally soft and feel like cotton to the touch. This enhances patient well-being when used in pillows, sheets and other bed linen. Securelle textiles are exceptionally versatile and have a very esthetic appearance."
Securelle is odorless and does not increase the risk of allergy to house dust. Itis washable at 95°C (203°F), can be tumbler-dried and bears the Öko-Tex 100 test seal confirming its ecological compatibility.
LIPS Textielservice obtains its bed linen products from Hulleman Textiel, a corporation based in the Dutch town of Almelo specializing in fire-resistive textile products for the health care, hotel and interior decoration sectors.
Hulleman obtains the fire-resistive Securelle yarn for its fabrics from German weavers Setex Textil GmbH of Hamminkeln. ADVANSA's development team has also succeeded in combining the fire-resistive properties of Securelle with the functionality of Teflon Stain Release Fabric Protector.
These two examples of advanced technology, Securelle and Teflon, together yield the ideal combination of safety and easy care, enhancing the value of furnishing fabrics and drapes by making them washable at low temperatures and stain-resistant.
These fabrics retain the new appearance much longer. Securelle fabrics containing Teflon are stain-resistant and have less tendency to pilling and creasing. Their washability ensures that stains are completely removed.
Longer intervals between washing and lower wash temperatures mean that Securelle textiles combined with Teflon Stain Release also offer additional opportunities to cut costs.
