Description
Leather fibers form the basis of cohera®myLeather. The material consists of approximately 60–75% recycled European genuine leather. Natural rubber provides the desired elasticity of cohera®myLeather and binds the leather fibers. Natural fats and waxes condition the leather fibers, keeping them soft and supple. Dyes and pigments allow cohera®myLeather to be available in three different base colors. Optionally, cohera®myLeather can be finished and protected with a water-based Salamander coating.

Coated cohera®myLeather can be cleaned with mild household or industrial cleaners. All coatings are resistant to glass cleaner and white spirit; Spectro coatings are also resistant to alcohol-based cleaners. For heavily used surfaces such as furniture or lightly trafficked floors, the Spectro coating is recommended due to its high resistance to mechanical and chemical stress. These surfaces can also be treated with disinfectants based on active oxygen or hypochlorite.
