Phthalates are a group of chemical compounds that can be used in the manufacture of PVC. These chemicals release toxins that are harmful to the human body. All of our Chieftain products are Phthalate free.

Source 5 (Crib 5) is related to upholstery and furniture coverings, and is related to BS 5852. Our Lionella range meets the British Standards fire regulations for the contract market.

Due to the PVC makeup of the Lionella range and its wipe clean ability, this makes vinyl virtually resistant to most household stains, alkalis or drinks as they are not absorbed by the vinyl.

Lionella can withstand 500,000 rubs from a Martindale Machine without damaging or marking the top layer of the vinyl. This makes Lionella suitable for all high traffic, heavy duty areas.

At the end of our products life cycle, we embark upon plastic recycling. The PVC can be stripped away from the cotton backing cloth and reused. Typically, our PVC is re-used in electric wiring. The backing cloth we use is also from recycled cotton.

Our backing cloth is made from 100% organic cotton.
