Selecting for the application
Upholstery and contract interiors call for consideration of use intensity and cleanability. Marine and outdoor applications introduce environmental conditions, while automotive materials must suit the intended interior and upholstery process. Healthcare, accessories and quilted materials also have distinct manufacturing and use requirements. Technical features should never be assumed to apply to every collection.
Footwear and sports equipment
Shoe uppers require consideration of flexibility, stitching and abrasion performance. Football panels must suit cutting, printing, stitching and lamination processes. Boxing gloves experience repeated impact and flexing, while stadium seating is subject to intensive use. Images represent applications; material properties are determined for the application and technical specification.
From sample to application
Identify the intended use alongside the collection and colour code. Physical sample assessment, the relevant product information and the actual application conditions should be considered together. Our manufacturing and quality page explains the approach supporting this assessment process.
