RESULTS OF TESTING:

Water, Soil, Oil, and Stain Repellence: ™Final-Shield upholstery and carpet products, as used by Timmins Enterprises, Inc., were found to be SUPERIOR IN STAIN RESISTANCE when compared to two leading silicone products and one fluorocarbon products. Independent Laboratories testing showed better stain resistance than any other products.

Abrasion Resistance: Taber Adrader and Wyzenbeck methods showed improved and/or stable resistance on treated samples. Results were obtained from National Testing Laboratories in New York and Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia.

Fire Retardant Rating: All treated samples were ignited. Measurement of the flame spread indicated that treated textiles showed the same flame spread as untreated inherent flammability of the textiles.

Clean Ability: After five dry cleanings, 95% of the protective treatment remained. After thirty home launderings, 100% of the protective treatment remained.

RECOMMENDED CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Carpeting: Regular vacuuming with roller brush, hot water extraction with low sudsing agents. Remove all detergent residues. Upholstery: Dry or water-based extraction. Remove all detergent residues.

Lab Testing Report

Results of Independent Laboratories Testing

All ™Final-Shield upholstery and carpet protection products offered by Timmins Enterprises, Inc. are products that are comprised of complex polymer formulas that permanently bind to carpet and upholstery fibers, and do not contain any PFOS, PFOA or other PFAAS harmful chemicals. All fabric protective products were tested against three leading protective products, one mill applied stain repellent finish, and two silicone products.

PROTECTIVE PERFORMANCE: Upholstery and carpeting is protected with a clear,

odorless, polymer system barrier that surrounds fibers from top to bottom. Protective products are designed to provide superior resistance to soil, water-borne liquids, and oil-based matter. Samples of Nylon Velour, Rayon Velour, Cotton, Cotton Velvet, Rayon Velvet, Cotton/Rayon, Wool, and Carpet samples were treated and permitted to air dry for three days at room temperature. Upon proper application and sufficient drying time, treated fabrics were then stained with mustard, oil, cola, tomato juice, and coffee. After three hours, the stained areas were blotted and wiped with a damp cellulose sponge.
