Micropore® goes Formula 1
Micropore® (like leather) was present at this year’s F1 event in Barcelona and in none other than the famous Paddock Club. It was the luxury caterer DO & CO in Vienna that provided the invitation to mix with the fast set. Speed was the key when it came to delivery too. “The crucial factors for us were the colour and aesthetics as well as immediate availability” said the Project Managers. Reasons for choosing Micropore® also included safety-related aspects such as its low flammability.
(The following flame retardant classifications are just some of the classifications that micropore fulfils as standard: AT: ÖNORM 3800 B1 and Q1, EN 1021/1+2, BS5852 part II crib 5)
Micropore® nappa FR travels on Zurich’s commuter trains
As part of the reorganization and renovation of Zurich’s double-decker commuter trains, micropore® nappa FR has been installed in a special choice of colour.
“Following countless flammability tests across more than 50 types of material, we found that micropore nappa FR was the only imitation leather that completely fulfilled the strict fire safety regulations in accordance with DIN 5510 part 2”, said Project Manager L. Hostettler. In addition to its low flammability, it also had excellent smoke emission results. The exceptional requirements were met by using Polyurethane (PU) instead of PVC and the natural raw material graphite (lead) as a flame retardant. In spite of all this technology, micropore® nappa is still as luxurious, supple and sophisticated as we like it. In fact, many people find themselves asking “is it real leather or not?“
