Muirhead has partnered with Sweden’s Polygiene to develop a sustainable leather with built-in antimicrobial self-cleaning properties, for use in the aviation and other transport cabin environments.
Muirhead Active Hygiene Leather with Polygiene ViralOff protects the treated material, breaking down bacteria that cause odours and viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 , to over 99% within two hours.
“We are pleased to offer Muirhead Active Hygiene Leather with Polygiene ViralOff to take seat hygiene to a new level and play a key role in setting new standards in cabin wellness. The team at Muirhead are working closely with airlines, design studios and aircraft manufacturers to create interiors solutions for the future of travel and transportation,” said Archie Browning, Sales Director at Muirhead.
“Muirhead is a leading supplier of fine Scottish leather to the global aviation industry with a strong reputation for responsible innovation, durability and circular manufacturing. It is inspiring how they lead the way for sustainability in the leather industry, just as we at Polygiene lead the way
for sustainability in the textile and fashion industry through our antimicrobial and odour removal products. We are looking forward to adding value to this industry together with Muirhead,” said Ulrika Björk, CEO of Polygiene.
