What is Ergo-Industrial SPU? ::

Ergo-Industrial SPU Protection

For harsh industrial and laboratory environments, our Ergo-Industrial SPU allows us to create incredibly durable industrial chairs that we back with a 10 year warranty.

Our Ergo-Industrial SPU chairs are not only more durable, they are also more comfortable than self-skinning polyurethane chairs.

Compared to the lower cost of self-skinning polyurethane chairs, Ergo-Industrial SPU chairs still deliver the lowest total cost of ownership for the toughest protection available. Period.

Puncture Resistance and Durability Testing

Pushing down on the surface of the Ergo-Industrial SPU cushion seat, a piercing device descended at a rate of 300mm/min (12 in./min.) until the device was nearly touching the bottom base board of the seat. Indentation had occurred, however no rupture was made.

Ergo-Industrial SPU cushion seats withstood the durability test of 100,000 cycles with a cyclic load of 0 to 120 lbf with no evidence of any cracks or detrimental effects.

Flammability

Ergo-Industrial SPU coating is flame resistant. Welding sparks and red hot embers are not a problem.
