SKINTEC

Materials play a crucial role in the laboratory – especially in seating solutions that are exposed to high hygienic and mechanical demands on a daily basis. With Skintec, Bimos has developed an upholstery material specifically tailored to the requirements of modern laboratory environments.

Skintec – A Material Solution for Hygienic and Durable Laboratory Workstations

In laboratories, materials must meet multiple requirements at the same time. They need to be easy to clean, resistant to chemicals and disinfectants, and robust enough for daily use. At the same time, they play a key role in seating comfort and the durability of work chairs.

With Skintec, Bimos has developed an innovative upholstery material specifically designed to meet these requirements and tailored for use in demanding working environments.

Closed Surface for High Hygiene Requirements

Skintec is characterized by a particularly closed and durable surface. This prevents the penetration of liquids and reduces the adhesion of dirt particles.

As a result, the material is easy to clean and well suited for work areas where regular disinfection is required. This supports hygienic working conditions in laboratories, especially in sensitive application areas.

Durability in Everyday Use

In addition to its hygienic properties, Skintec also stands out for its high durability. The material is resistant to mechanical wear as well as to many chemicals and cleaning agents commonly used in laboratories.

This combination helps extend the service life of work chairs and reduce maintenance requirements.

Combining Comfort and Functionality

Despite its robust properties, Skintec offers a high level of seating comfort. Its material structure is designed to meet both functional requirements and ergonomic considerations.

In combination with ergonomic chair concepts, Skintec therefore supports comfortable and efficient working over extended periods of time.

Versatile Applications

Skintec is used in various Bimos seating solutions and is suitable for different working environments – from laboratories and cleanrooms to industrial settings.

In addition, the material can also be used in ESD-capable versions, meeting further requirements in sensitive work areas.

Conclusion

With Skintec, Bimos offers a well-designed material solution for modern workplaces where hygiene, durability and comfort are equally important. The material is a valuable complement to ergonomic seating solutions and supports reliable working conditions in everyday laboratory environments.
