Cialux is a high quality natural finish book cloth imported from Italy. It is a lustrous, vibrant, glossy, fast-dyed, natural finish, 100% rayon cloth with a viscose paper backing.

Cialux cloth is made from spun rayon yarn, which is composed of short-length filament threads. Environmentally friendly and exceptionally well suited for covering book covers, catalogs, stationery, diaries etc. Ideal for off-set printing, screen printing, and hot foil blocking.

Cialux is colorfast to water, light and abrasion, and has improved durability over other natural finish cloths. It processes well on Horauf, Kolbus, WBF Stall, and Smith manufacturing equipment.

All colors are 53" wide.

Cialux is perfectly suited for all high end hand and production bookbinding, such as trade books, cookbooks, book clubs, religious/hymnals, University Press, college textbooks, yearbooks, and coffee table/museum books. It lends itself well to specialty packaging applications, such as set-up boxes, slip cases, CD cases, and jewelry/perfume packaging, as well as mechanical loose leaf binding, stationery, sample books, wall covering, and photo albums and journals.

Please note that the 1580 is a very dark Indigo.
