Ecolite™

synthetic for rail

Ecolite™ is a revolutionary polyurethane coated fabric that combines the look and feel of genuine leather with a number of unique benefits.

One of the most notable features of Ecolite™ is its lightweight design – at only 330g/sm, it is up to 60% lighter than traditional leather and 43% lighter than many competitive synthetic materials. This makes it an excellent choice for upholstery applications where weight is a concern, such as in the railway industry.

In addition to its lightweight design, Ecolite™ also boasts a closed cell surface coating that makes it virtually graffiti and stain resistant. This makes it an excellent choice for use in high-traffic environments where durability is a concern. Additionally, the closed cell surface coating provides a sanitary, inherently antimicrobial solution, making Ecolite™ an excellent choice for use in environments where hygiene is a concern.

Overall, Ecolite™ is a truly innovative material that offers the look and feel of genuine leather at a fraction of the weight, with a number of additional benefits that make it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
