Materials & Swatches
Steel
Iron and carbon alloy, with carbon content below 2%, treated to withstand the elements with the unique EMU-Coat anti-corrosion process.
Aluminum
Aluminum alloys, particularly suitable for cold-working and for die-casting, appropriately treated to withstand the elements and powder coated.
Synthetic Fabrics
Acrylic fabric: a fabric whose base element is a polymer chain consisting of 85% acrylonitrile. Acrylic fabric combines the aesthetic qualities of a luxurious fabric with the texture and feel of wool with the functional qualities of resistance to the elements: UV resistant, it does not stain and does not rot upon contact with water as it is fast-drying.
Polyester fabric: a fabric composed of linear macromolecules consisting mainly of polyethylene terephthalate. It has excellent mechanical properties: it withstands breakage, light and abrasion. It does not deform permanently, it has an excellent elastic recovery and is waterproof.
Polypropylene fabric: these are fibers that are generally very fine, with a high surface tension, thanks to which water can pass through and flow out quickly. Strength and durability are among the main advantages offered by this material, which also provides good thermal insulation.
Porcelain Stoneware
Thanks to its excellent physical and mechanical properties, porcelain stoneware is ideal for outdoor use, since it is resistant to atmospheric corrosion and unaffected by UV exposure. Its qualities allow it to be water and oil repellent. Porcelain stoneware is obtained via the synthesizing process of ceramic clay, feldspar, kaolin and sand. These raw materials undergo grinding and atomization until a homogeneous particle size, suitable for pressing, is obtained. Firing takes place at 1150-1250°C for approx. 25-30 minutes in order to determine the ceramization of the mixture, ensuring the typical resistance to abrasion.
Eco-Leather
The Eco-leather is made of compacted Nylon micro-fabric in polyurethane bath. It is then coated with polyurethane of the same color.
Elastic Strap
Obtained by weaving synthetic materials such as polypropylene fabric (71%) and synthetic rubber thread (29%), enabling it to be used outside.
