CASATEX Quality
CASATEX wallcoverings are evaluated through independent laboratory testing covering quality, safety and performance. Testing includes fire behaviour, physical performance, antibacterial and anti-mold properties, indoor air quality and selected chemical content requirements.
Flame Retardancy Test
CASATEX wallcovering products have been tested according to the ASTM E84 standard to evaluate surface burning characteristics. In the test conducted by SGS, the Flame Spread Index (FSI) was determined as 0 and the Smoke Developed Index (SDI) as 80, and the specimen was classified as Class A.
Antibacterial & Anti-Mold Performance
The antibacterial and mold resistance of CASATEX wallcovering products has been evaluated through independent laboratory testing. Test results demonstrated up to 99% antibacterial activity against the microorganisms examined and achieved a Mold Resistance Grade 0.
Physical & Performance Testing
The physical and usage performance of CASATEX wallcovering products has been tested across various criteria, including color fastness, rubbing fastness, dimensional change and washability. The test results provide technical data for evaluating the surface and performance characteristics of the products under everyday use conditions. These tests serve as technical references supporting the use performance of the products in professional interior applications.
Indoor Air Quality & Low VOC
Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from CASATEX products have been tested with reference to ISO 16000 Parts 3, 6, 9 and 11. The test results showed no detection of several compounds, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, styrene and formaldehyde, while the TVOC value was measured at 0.041 mg/m³.
Heavy Metals & Formaldehyde
CASATEX wallcovering products have been tested for heavy metal and formaldehyde content according to GB 18585-2001. The testing covered parameters including barium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, antimony, cadmium, arsenic and formaldehyde, and the results were found to meet the applicable requirements of the standard.
Wallcovering Quality & Certifications
The CASATEX Quality & Certifications section provides an overview of the testing and evaluation carried out to assess wallcovering performance, safety, durability, hygiene and indoor environmental characteristics. Independent laboratory testing supports the evaluation of products under different use conditions. Testing covers a range of criteria, from surface fire behaviour to physical and performance properties, antibacterial and anti-mold characteristics and indoor air quality. ASTM E84 testing provides performance data related to surface flame spread and smoke development, while physical performance testing evaluates properties such as scratch, impact and abrasion resistance, colour fastness, rubbing fastness and washability. Indoor air quality is another part of the CASATEX testing approach, with VOC emissions evaluated in accordance with ISO 16000. Antibacterial activity and mold resistance testing provide additional information relevant to hygiene, maintenance and interior applications.
Additional testing for selected heavy metals and formaldehyde provides another level of material evaluation. Together, these test results and technical reports give architects, interior designers and project professionals a clearer basis for evaluating wallcovering products. CASATEX combines surface design with measurable technical performance, making testing and certification information an integral part of the product selection process.
