Material selection plays a critical role in laboratory environments. Surfaces must meet high requirements in terms of hygiene, durability and electrostatic safety—without compromising seating comfort. With the upholstery material Skintec, Bimos has developed a solution specifically tailored to these demands.
Skintec is permanently conductive, including in light colours, abrasion-resistant and highly resistant to common cleaning and disinfecting agents. Its closed surface prevents particle accumulation, while the dimensionally stable yet soft material structure provides ergonomic comfort even during long periods of seated work.
This demonstrates that material technology in laboratories is not only a functional requirement, but also a key factor in supporting ergonomics and workplace quality.
