Timeless elegance in vibrant colors: This leather alternative is made from recycled textiles and finished with a coating of extremely abrasion-resistant and solvent-free polyurethane. Lotus Infinity Series blends tradition with innovation, setting new standards in sustainable manufacturing and durability.
The 'PUrTEX∞' is a custom ultra-durable tech material. Ucon Acrobatics has developed this progressive material over the years, which is second to none. Increased longevity - reduced thickness. Lower ecological footprint and steps into circularity. It is made from recycled textile waste and finished with a rigid, solvent-free polyurethane (PU) coating. The PU foam layer has a cross-link structure, so the functional aspects are similar to those of molded rubber. The high performance has been proven in test results. The surface adhesion strength is four times better, and the scratch resistance has even improved over 100 times compared to conventional artificial leather. Furthermore, PU making is free of solvents such as DMF and VOC. The CO2e is reduced by over - 50%, the energy is reduced by over -40% and comes mainly from renewable sources. The essence of minimal design.
For the base of the material, post-consumer textile waste is transformed into recycled PET yarn in a depolymerization recycling process. The resource-saving spin dyeing process ("dope dye") is applied even before the interlock fabric is knitted. The savings of this are huge - water consumption is reduced by up to -90%, chemical consumption by up to -80%, energy consumption and CO2e emissions by up to -50%. This interlock material is grey in color, that makes it easier to spot your belongings immediately.
This all makes Lotus Infinity unmatched in functionality, durability and aesthetic beauty. Like premium elegance of leather – but unmistakably better.
