Premium anti-mold coatings: protect and enhance your outdoor textiles

Outdoor environments are exposed to moisture, splashes, and heat that promote the growth of mold. At MX Home, we have selected some premium anti-mold coatingsto guarantee durability, hygiene, and aesthetics. Discover our various technical fabrics and their anti-fungal benefits.

1. Polyethylene: the rustproof hydrophobic

Polyethylene is by natureanti-sponge : its molecular structure repels water, preventing any moisture retention. Resistant to UV rays and cleaning products, it maintains flexibility and vibrant colors even after years of exposure. We use it for both our foam mattresses such as the Round Bed or for our floating range like the Recliner with Headrest.

2. Polyethylene combined with olefin: the technological duo

By combining polyethylene and olefin, you get a fiber that is even more resistant to abrasion and dirt. Olefin enhances dimensional stability while providing excellent chemical resistance: an ideal combo for stylish and ultra-durable products like our iconic one. Floating Turtle.

3. Polyester: the balance of performance and aesthetics

Polyester is an outdoor classic. Anti-mold treatment and "Color Lock" dyeing ensure intense shades; its lightness and mechanical strength offer optimal comfort. Less hydrophobic than polyethylene, it is given a water-repellent coating to prevent sponginess. We have favored it for our capsule collections such as the creations Vilbrequin x MX Home or even our XL floating poufs summer in Saint-TropezorDolce Vita

4. Polypropylene: ultra-resistant to degradation

Polypropylene stands out for its excellent abrasion resistance and its inertness to chemicals (chlorine, salt). Naturally hydrophobic, it limits bacterial and fungal growth, providing a lasting anti-fouling effect. We use it especially for our Double bed in foam - Woven fabric - White and beige or even combined with polyester in our "funky" collection, including the must-have Floor cushion".

5. Olefin: the magical anti-mold fiber

Theolefin(polyolefin fiber) combines lightness and strength. Ultra-resistant to UV rays and saltwater, it quickly wicks away moisture and limits the adhesion of mold spores. Its soft touch and elegant drape make it a premium choice for high-end products includingthe modular sofas or our2-person beds with linen effect and dryfast foam.

Anti-sponge benefits: how does it work?

  • Hydrophobic structure: Polymers repel water on the surface, preventing its absorption into the core of the fabric.
  • Surface treatments:water-repellent and stain-resistant finishes add a barrier against moisture.
  • Quick cleaning and drying: absence of water retention promotes rapid drying, reducing the risk of mold.
