Silicone
Silicone is a flexible inorganic polymer that, when applied as a coating to high-performance textile bases, creates extremely resistant and stable surfaces. Unlike other synthetic coatings, silicone does not contain plasticizers, which prevents the migration of compounds and provides a 100% safe, hypoallergenic, and toxin-free material.
Thanks to these properties, technical silicone fabrics offer a unique combination of durability, comfort, hygiene, and sustainability, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
The use of silicone in technical upholstery offers unparalleled benefits that set it apart from other materials:
✔ Extreme resistance
Silicone withstands abrasion, intensive use, and the most aggressive chemicals without deteriorating, ensuring a long service life in high-traffic environments.
✔ Advanced hygiene
It is an antimicrobial, antibacterial, and non-porous material, making it ideal for sectors such as healthcare, catering, and communities. In addition, it is quick and easy to clean.
✔ Superior comfort and aesthetics
Silicone offers a soft, pleasant-to-touch surface that retains its appearance and flexibility even after years of use. It resembles natural leather, providing warmth and elegance.
✔ Certified safety
Silicone fabrics comply with fireproofing and low smoke emission regulations required in sectors such as aviation, transportation, and public spaces.
✔ Environmental resistance
Silicone upholstery withstands UV rays, humidity, and temperature changes, making it a suitable material for nautical and outdoor furniture applications.
✔ Sustainability
Silicone is an eco-friendly material that is PVC- and halogen-free, with a more environmentally friendly production process. Its durability reduces the need for frequent replacements, generating a positive environmental impact.
