It uses advanced nano-technologies to preserve the beauty and cleanliness of textiles while maintaining its breathability, original color and texture. Our products can be applied to nearly any type of fabric, carpet, or rug.
Environmentally Friendly
Fiber ProTector® is EPA-rated safe, non-toxic and non-allergenic. In fact, Fiber ProTector® proprietary formula contains no harmful fluorocarbons, known as PFC's, PFOA, or PFO's. It is the only protection product in the world to earn the EnviroSeal® certification! EnviroSeal® is an evaluation and certification for environmentally responsible maintenance products for use on carpets, rugs, and furnishing fabrics.
Resists Soiling and Staining
Fiber ProTector® nanotechnology-based formula makes a penetrating bond. Although no protection product will last forever, it will provide superior protecting performance for many years and will survive many professional cleanings.
It reduces surface tension. This prevents damage causing particles from attaching to fibers and reduces fiber to fiber contact which leads to fiber wear. It creates an invisible shield against oil and water-based stain causing liquids and soil types. It even provides a reduction in damage causing UV exposure.
The Fiber ProTector® formula can be used on virtually every type of fibrous material including wool, cotton, nylon, polyester blends, silk, natural suede, synthetic suede, velvet, sisal, and even tinsel.
Fiber ProTector® Testing
Mechanical Bacteriostat Testing - Fiber ProTector® makes fibers uninviting to bacteria and viruses by mechanical means, not pesticides. This independent test shows a consistent 99.9% reduction rate in the growth of bacteria; Staphylococcus Aureus and Kiebsiella pneumoniae.
UV Protection Testing - Fiber ProTector® acts like a sunscreen for your textiles. UV damage can really damage fine natural textiles. This test shows the UV protection vs. no protection. On a scale of 1-8, the seemingly small increment is A LOT of protection!
VOC Emissions Test - The Norwegian Building Research Institute tested samples of Fiber ProTector® to show that no VOC's are emitted.
FAA Flammability Report - Fiber ProTector® has been tested to FAR 25.853 requirements over and over by FAA designated flammability test labs to show a reduction or no effect to flame propagation in the aircraft cabin environment.
Fluorocarbon Content - Fiber ProTector® has been tested to show that no Fluorocarbons, known as PFC's, PFOA, or PFO's exist on treated materials.
DNV Certification - DNV is an International Accredited Registrar for Marine Vessels. This Certification Statement shows that professionally applied, Fiber ProTector® will not impair the flammability for DNV certified vessels.
Air Permeability - Natural fibers need to breath to stay healthy. Many surface protection products try to "seal" off the fiber. This test shows that fibers are still able to breath naturally when applied with Fiber ProTector®.
Corrosion Test - This test shows it is safe to apply our Fiber ProTector® leave behind treatments in and around installed airframe structures such as seat track and frame attach points. Once cured, Fiber ProTector® has been proven to be chemically inert.

Application of Fiber ProTector® will only extend the lifespan, benefit cleaning and prevent future staining of all of your heirloom fabrics and fibers.
When can I utilize the items I've had a Fiber ProTector® product applied to?
The length of time will depend on which one of our products is utilized for your project. Our solvent based product dries the fastest, usually within one hour with most items returned to light, normal use about 4-6 hours after application. Fiber ProTector® Delicate, Light, and Water-Base product could take longer. Full protection is achieved after product has cured for 24 hours.
Does Fiber ProTector® have an odor?
For our entire line of protection products, there is no scent once cured. Fiber Protector’s family of solvent protection products have a discernible odor when applied. The intensity of this odor will depend on which of these protection products is utilized for your project. Our premium protection product utilizes medical grade Isopropyl Alcohol as a carrying agent which dissipates very quickly while our Delicate and Light protection products has a slight odor. Our water-base product has no discernible odor at all. Ventilation and air-movers can accelerate the process.
Will Fiber ProTector® make my textile fibers last longer?
Fibers treated with Fiber ProTector® are up to 60% more resistant to wear and abrasion because soil must wear off the protection before causing wear on the fibers. Similarly, fibers must wear off the protection before they can wear on each other. This “wear resistance” promotes longer fabric life and less frequent need for replacement.
How does Fiber ProTector® prevent the growth of mold mildew and bacteria?
Fiber ProTector® is created with nano-tech particles when applied reduce the surface tension of the individual fibers. It creates an invisible, yet breathable shield around each fiber, providing an effective barrier against organic fluids, soil and dust. The unique and proprietary Fiber ProTector® system is engineered to mechanically produce a bacteriostatic surface to resist the growth and spread of pathogens, mold, and mildew. This is of particular value for individuals with allergies, asthma or a weakened immune system when subjected to recycled indoor air.
Is Fiber ProTector® a disinfectant?
Fiber ProTector® does not claim to be a disinfectant, however, Fiber ProTector's premium solvent based protection product utilizes medical grade Isopropyl which is an EPA listed disinfectant. Items sprayed with Fiber ProTector® and allowed proper dwell time have had a highly effective disinfected applied. This is an added benefit of the Fiber ProTector® application.
What types of fabrics and fibers can Fiber ProTector® be used on?
Virtually all types of fibrous items natural characteristics are enhanced by the application of Fiber ProTector®. Some types of fibers include: wool, cotton, nylon, polyester blends, silk, natural suede, synthetic suede, velvets, and even sisal! Fiber ProTector can also be applied to most any porous material you would like to keep the natural look without adding a sheen to the surface of the item treated.
Are Fiber ProTector® products safe to use on wool, silk, or other delicate fibers?
All of the Fiber ProTector® family of protects are Silicone free! Silicone has been shown to produce a residue when apply to natural wool that can actually cause rapid re-soiling of fibers when exposed to oil-based contaminants. Our Fiber ProTector® products are tested and approved by the WoolSafe organization and therefore safe to use on wool. A Fiber ProTector® application is the absolute best way to protect you silk, viscose, bamboo, or other delicate fibers from damage causing moisture.
