skai® artificial leather with staynu® technology – surfaces that look as good as new for longer

If surfaces subject to heavy wear and tear still look as good as new even after a long time has passed, that speaks for authentic skai® quality. Thanks to the innovative staynu® technology, skai® surfaces are extremely resistant to soiling and at the same time particularly easy to clean and disinfect – even with alcohol-based cleaners and disinfectants. The result: artificial leather upholstery fabrics are maintained and thus remain in optimal condition for a long time, even with intensive use.

What is special about skai® artificial leather with staynu® technology?

With the special staynu® technology, the magic is in the details – an innovative surface finish that gives surfaces something like an invisible protective layer, taking the everyday suitability of heavily-used seating to an entirely new level. This means that armchairs, seats, chairs and the like become significantly more resistant to common challenges such as soiling, abrasion and disinfectants than comparable materials without a staynu® finish. And all this while also being particularly easy to clean. After all, surfaces that are less susceptible to damage are also easier to keep clean.

Permanently resistant to stains and soiling

Whether taking a bite from a juicy burger results in ketchup on the seat cushions or a cup of coffee happens to get spilled during a lively catch-up in a coffee shop – stains can happen wherever people spend time in their everyday lives. So it’s all the better if they don’t leave a lasting impression behind on surfaces. And they don’t have to – thanks to staynu® technology! Whether it’s ketchup, coffee or wine, or even ballpoint pens or permanent markers, no unsightly marks will be left behind on skai® artificial leather with staynu® technology when cleaned promptly with isopropanol or rubbing alcohol. This combination of being stain-resistant and easy to clean is ideal for furniture that is subject to particularly high footfall, such as in restaurants, hotels and public areas. skai® surfaces with staynu® technology are a strong partner wherever there is a high demand for an attractive appearance combined with exceptional resilience – as the various stains from everyday life don’t stand a chance against them. Therefore, seat surfaces make a professional impression over a long period of time.

Quick and easy to clean

Time always plays a key role in our hectic day-to-day lives – and particularly in the demanding hospitality and healthcare sectors. Because if less time is needed for cleaning and maintenance, this allows employees, operators and service providers to focus on other things: namely, people. Thanks to skai® surfaces with staynu® technology, there are significant benefits to be had for the hospitality, healthcare and commercial fit-out sectors.

Resistant to disinfectants

When it comes to health, hygiene takes top priority. From a couch in a rehabilitation center to a waiting area in a clinic – surfaces that can withstand a lot are in demand everywhere you go. The ease of cleaning and resistance to disinfectants offered by skai® surfaces with the special staynu® surface finish are a particular benefit here, since they make cleaning routines a lot easier.

B1 flame protection: safety that has been well thought through

skai® surfaces not only stand for style and comfort, but also for a greater level of safety. In addition to the innovative staynu® technology, materials such as skai® Parotega NF staynu have B1 flame protection (DIN 4102) and are therefore highly flame retardant – a detail that is particularly important in the demanding commercial fit-out sector.

Where skai® artificial leather with staynu® technology is particularly impressive

Only a few people have several talents at the same time – in stark contrast to the high-quality skai® upholstery fabrics. In combination with intelligent staynu® technology, the premium artificial leather can easily perform several feats at once. In other words, the special surface finish allows for a wide variety of applications.

Hospitality

Anyone who meets for a cocktail in a restaurant, bar or hotel lobby will appreciate enjoying it in style. That is why the requirements for the furniture in the venue are particularly high in terms of design and comfort – they should, of course, look inviting and well-maintained. Surfaces that can impress when it counts are therefore in high demand. This is where upholstery fabrics with staynu® technology really come into their own, since the innovative surface finish means that chairs and the like stay presentable for longer, as soiling adheres less and is easier to remove during day-to-day operations. In addition, not only do the skai® surfaces with staynu® finish offer a stylish look, but with skai® Parotega NF staynu they also ensure greater safety thanks to compliance with the B1 flame protection standard – an important aspect, particularly in the commercial fit-out sector.

Public Areas

From waiting areas at airports and train stations to small rest areas in shopping malls – seating in public spaces is subject to particular stress. The users change almost from one minute to the next, and so the surfaces need to withstand a wide variety of stains in a very short space of time. Especially since the cleaning windows here are usually very short. skai® artificial leather with staynu® technology is the material of choice here, as it ensures that the surfaces are not only easy to clean, but also look attractive for a long time, even after heavy use.

Healthcare

In a medical environment, surfaces must meet special requirements – health is at stake here, after all. Hygiene is the top priority here – this means that couches, beds, seats and the like are not only subject to high demand, but also need to be cleaned more frequently in order to be sterile. Cleaners that are used to disinfect surfaces play a fundamental role here. This is where skai® surfaces with staynu® technology become a steady shoulder to rely on – not only are they easy to clean, resistant to disinfectants and flame retardant, but they also look as good as new for a long time thanks to their stain resistance.
