Morbern is dedicated to enhancing outdoor experiences with innovative fabric solutions. That’s why the company created KoolFab™, a breakthrough technology designed to keep vinyl seats cool and comfortable – even in the sweltering heat and on dark colors, including black.
The Challenge: Hot Seats, Uncomfortable Experiences
Most people can remember at least one unfortunate experience of sitting down on scorching hot vinyl seats during a summer outing. Traditional vinyl upholstery, especially in darker colors like black, tends to absorb heat, turning outdoor moments into uncomfortable ordeals. It’s a common issue that has plagued outdoor enthusiasts for years, taking away from the enjoyment of leisurely boat rides, outdoor dining experiences, and other alfresco activities.
Our Solution: KoolFab Technology
With a legacy spanning over half a century, Morbern has remained at the forefront of fabric innovation, constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Driven by this commitment to excellence, the team at Morbern set out to provide a practical and effective solution to the problem of overheated seating.
The result is KoolFab, a game-changing technology that harnesses the power of infrared (IR) reflective properties to keep vinyl seats cool, even on the hottest of days.
How KoolFab Works
Unlike conventional vinyl, KoolFab doesn’t absorb all of the sun’s rays. Instead, its special pigments reflect non-visible IR waves, reducing the amount of heat the upholstery absorbs. This means that even dark-colored vinyl stays cool to the touch, ensuring a comfortable seating experience, no matter the weather. By using the physics of sunlight’s spectrum, KoolFab technology enables vinyl and other coated fabrics to deflect the sun’s rays away instead of absorbing them, preventing uncomfortable temperature build-up.
Perfect for Any Setting
KoolFab ensures comfortable seating whether on a boat or at an outdoor cafe, with a surface temperature difference of up to 23%. It comes in 10 colors, ranging from classic neutrals to bold hues across the Sundance textile grain palette, making it highly customizable.
This technology can also be applied to any Morbern custom coated fabric, enhancing its versatility for various settings, including marine environments, residential patios, and commercial outdoor spaces. With KoolFab, people can relax and enjoy the outdoors without worrying about hot seats, fully immersing themselves in nature’s beauty.
