Q

CAL 133

A

refers to the California Technical Bulletin 133, an open flame test for upholstered seating, which required the use of flame-retardant chemicals. TB133 was repealed in January 2019, because the chemicals had been found to cause adverse health issues. CAL 117, known as a “smolder test” — that furniture makers can meet without using flame-retardant chemicals.

Q

Tekton is a trade name for what?

A

Olefin

Tekton is the brand name for Olefin (polypropylene) fibers used in carpeting and carpet backing. It’s most well known asa brand of housewrap, which reduces the risk of air and moisture infiltration that could ultimately waste energy or lead to mold.

Olefin is inexpensive and is highly resistant to chemicals, mildew, and microorganisms. It is highly resilient and nonabsorbent. Its desirable qualities make it useful for carpeting and carpet backing, but its low resistance to sunlight, heat, and flame makes it undesirable for most upholstery fabric.
