Polyurethane
Within our wide range of technical textiles, polyurethane stands out as a material that combines flexibility, comfort, resistance, and contemporary aesthetics, and has become the preferred choice of architects, interior designers, upholsterers, and specifiers looking for a high-performance technical finish.
Polyurethane (PU) is a versatile polymer used as a coating on different textile bases (usually polyester or cotton) to create soft, resistant, and aesthetically appealing surfaces.
Unlike other materials, polyurethane stands out for its flexible and pleasant feel, which mimics the softness of natural leather, while maintaining excellent mechanical and chemical resistance and withstanding intensive use.
Thanks to its ability to adapt to multiple technical processes, polyurethane applied in technical upholstery offers superior performance in professional environments where durability, safety, and hygiene are required.
Polyurethane offers unique properties that make it an ideal material for multiple applications in the field of interior design and professional upholstery.
✔ Comfort and softness to the touch
Its flexible surface provides a leather-like feel with an elegant and contemporary finish.
✔ Mechanical and chemical resistance
Polyurethane resists abrasion, tearing, and exposure to cleaning products commonly used in contract, hospitality, and healthcare settings.
✔ Waterproof and hygienic
The sealed structure of polyurethane prevents the absorption of liquids, grease, and dirt, ensuring maximum hygiene with every use.
✔ Wide versatility in design
Polyurethane can be manufactured in an infinite variety of textures, colors, and finishes, adapting to all types of interior design projects, from the most classic to the most avant-garde.
✔ Fire resistance and technical standards
Alonso Mercader’s technical polyurethane fabrics comply with fire resistance and safety regulations, which are essential in sectors such as aviation, transportation, and public spaces.
