Essence, the new material from ELeather Group, has been launched to meet the needs of the transport market.
According to ELeather, the introduction of Essence with PURE Guard technology (a proprietary antimicrobial solution) provides the most hygienic ELeather product yet, as it actively reduces the growth and presence of all microbes, including bacteria.
Essence has also been made using even more recycled leather than its predecessor.
“Enhanced hygiene was considered in the development of Essence from the start. We have ensured that the product surface can be sanitised with a wide range of commonly used cleaning materials without damage or degradation to the surface. To bring added peace of mind, we have incorporated PURE Guard antimicrobial technology to effectively reduce the growth of microbes on the surface and have verified this with testing to internationally recognised standards. This technology is incorporated into the product to ensure that it does not wear off or leach out, and that the anti-microbial performance is retained throughout the lifetime of the material,” said Richard Peace, NPD Manager.
Compared to traditional leather and synthetic materials, Essence maintains its ‘like-new’ look for longer through a controlled stretch that eliminates bagging and sagging, often found on seats after prolonged periods of use. Alongside the robust strength of the product comes a natural softness for an improved touch of hand.
