Product Description
Materialised’s three main sustainable faux leather categories that all have the performance of a vinyl upholstery are EPU’s, silicones and Clean Vinyls.
Top of the performance table is Endurance. It is a very high performing, sustainable faux leather offering a rub rate of 1,300,000 double rubs (Wyzenbeek) and superior hydrolysis resistance at 15 weeks. In addition, Endurance EPU is IMO certified, meaning it has passed rigorous FR tests for marine vessel upholstery use.
Then there’s silicone. Silicone is made from sand naturally occurring in the environment, with sustainability and performance attributes important to the contract textile industry. Materialised is home to several faux leathers made from 100% silicone, as well as hybrids incorporating the best of both silicone and polyurethane.
And finally, say hello to Clean Vinyls. Clean Vinyl is a new category of phthalate-free coated textiles. They consist of no chemicals of concern, are GREENGUARD Certified and Proposition 65 (Prop. 65) compliant.
Clean Vinyl upholstery is constructed through a careful evaluation of every component. The result is a confidence that Clean Vinyl textiles are sustainable and perform.
