A Carnegie Original
It’s a challenge: finding a product that offers beauty, performance and sustainability, simultaneously. Xorel, our versatile, high-performance textile has been answering this challenge since 1981, and has continued to drive design and sustainable innovation forward ever since. It’s why architects, designers and end users across the globe trust and respect Xorel.

High-Performance Benefits
Xorel Yarn
At its core, Xorel yarn’s inherent properties make it the most durable and easily maintained textile ever woven. 100% solution-dyed polyethylene, Xorel yarn is free of chlorine, plasticizers, heavy metals, toxic dyes and ozone-depleting chemicals. With no added finishes, coatings or chemistry required to perform, it is inherently stain resistant, colorfast, antibacterial, durable, non-absorbent.
Cleaning & Disinfecting
Designed to withstand aggressive cleaning, Xorel’s solution-dyed polyethylene yarn is non-porous, non-fibrous, and keeps dirt and bacteria from getting absorbed or trapped. Most stains can be removed with hot water, but Xorel is also safely cleaned with the most dominant cleaners like quaternary ammonium, bleach, accelerated hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, and even UVC Disinfecting.
Third Party Cert / LEED
To ensure Xorel achieves the highest performance standards, we regularly pursue third-party testing and certification. More than 65 independent tests have vetted Xorel’s performance in areas as varied as durability, cleanability, acoustics, indoor air quality and bacterial resistance. Xorel is the most thoroughly tested textile material on the market and exceeds industry benchmarks.
Backing Options
The design looks great, but can the textile hold up against moisture and aggressive cleaning? Carnegie’s X-Protect™ proprietary backing technologies provide an added layer of protection to prevent stains or moisture from passing through. So whether you are using Xorel on a wall or seating, you can feel confident that neither stains nor moisture will be an issue.
Responsible Return Program
When a Xorel installation is taken down after years of service, Carnegie accepts the return of the material for reuse. Our Responsible Return Program ensures that we take full responsibility for Xorel to be safely re-processed for use in secondary consumer items such as grocery bags, and containers for beverages, cosmetics, shampoos and detergents.
