The
same space-age chemistry used to develop bulllet-proof
glass and high performance aircraft components has
been successfully applied to fiber and textile engineering
to produce the outstanding characteristics of Nytek.
The sophisticated technology used to make Nytek has
created a product which is the closest reproduction
to the natural and complex structure of leather that
exists today.
Nytek is not woven or knitted, rather super thin nylon
fibersCone thousand times finer than silkCare laid
down in a random orientation to produce an intricate
webbed matrix. In fact, one ounce of this nylon microfiber
would be long enough to wrap around the equator several
times. These specially-formed, high performance nylon
fibers are nearly indistringuishable from the collagen
fibers of leather as evidenced by the microscopic
cross-section.
STRENGTH
Majilite's
innovative technological achievements resulted in
a product which is both lighweight and inherently
strong, as is natural leather. This microfiber matrix
formation is in fact stronger than leather on a strength
to weight basis. Genuine leather having the same tensile
strength would weigh nearly three times more.
Like leather, Nytek is dense as well as microporous,
allowing water vapor and heat to pass through. Because
Nytek is breathable, heat is dissipated in warm weather
and retained in cold weather. The nylon composition
gives the material the same permeability to air and
moisture found in high quality leathers.
Like nubuk suede or fine glove leather, the Nytek
line offers outstanding durability and tremendous
flexibility. The inherent features of nylon allow
it to be the perfect material to meet those demanding
applications where comfort and performance are paramount.
The ease of cleanability which has been a hallmark
of the nylon fiber story is an integral part of Nytek.
Nytek is perfectly suitable for many applications
including upholstery, wallcovering, panel wraps, desk
inlays. Products made from Nytek can be found in leading
hotels, stadiums, luxury yachts, aircraft and office
buildings.
