Lionella

Lionella has a 15% PU content which gives it a soft leather look and feel. It is Crib 5, REACH compliant, phthalate free and has been tested to an abrasion level of 500,000 rubs. Lionella has been in the UK market for 20 years and is a great alternative to leather. Please note, Lionella is not recommended for Marine application.

This range is suitable for all contract upholstery both indoor and outdoor.

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.

Lionella has a 15% PU coating making it extremely soft to touch. Because of this it makes Lionella our closest alternative to natural leather hide available.

Lionella’s 15% PU coating makes it hypoallergenic and kinder to the environmnent.

Independent testing has verified that Lionella is effective at reducing the spread of MRSA, E.coli and other similar bacteria and fungi.

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.

This product is Vegan. Meaning that it contains no animal ingredients or bi products, uses no animal ingredients or bi products in the manufacturing process, and it has not been tested on animals by any company or independent contractor.
