All About Polyurethane

  • Polyurethane, often known as faux leather, is a resilient, flexible, and durable manufactured material. There are various types of polyurethanes, which can all look and feel very different; they are used in an extensive range of products, from mattresses to car seats to furniture!  
  • Despite being plastic, polyurethane is highly breathable, does not trap heat, and is scratch-resistant. Unlike leather, it won’t break down, crack, or develop sun damage and is easy to clean. Polyurethane chairs are able to withstand most chemicals, heat, and other laboratory hazards.
  • Polyurethane chairs are incredibly ergonomic, helping to reduce the risks of fatigue and injury when seated for long hours and, therefore, increasing productivity.
