Info
TapiSuede™ is the finest high-performance textile responsibly engineered using ultra-fine recycled polyester fibers.
TapiSuede™ is pliable, inherently stain resistant, washable, and spot cleanable. It's made of 100% high-purity recycled polyester which reduces its carbon footprint. The pure recycling process used in manufacturing TapiSuede™ is free from organic solvents, uses signifcantly less energy, and emits less carbon dioxide than the manufacture of virgin polyester. The result is a textile of highest quality and purity.
For Vertical Surface applications we offer TapiSuede™ VS, which maintains the same characteristics as our standard TapiSuede™ but is extremely lightweight and meets the most stringent flame-retardant requirements for commercial aircraft.
