Corium™
Corium™ is a textile with properties and touch unlike anything on the market
THE WORK OF ÅžAFAK — CORIUM™
A more sustainable solution for high-quality textile materials...
Corium™ is a never before seen textile with material qualities similar to both technical fabrics and synthetic leather – yet entirely unlike anything currently on the market. Produced using a unique process developed by ÅžAFAK, Corium™ is a family of single-layer homogenous textiles that serves as a new fabric coming into use across a growing number of applications. Corium™ was developed as a sustainable textile requiring significantly less water in production and avoiding the use of chemicals currently under regulatory scrutiny. Environmentally-responsible, Corium™ products are made up of recycled man-made fibers combined with water-based PU.
A versatile family of single-layer products....
The properties of Corium™ can be fine-tuned to meet the needs of custom use-cases including for:
-
High-endurance upholstery, shoe uppers, and bags
-
Wall-coverings with unique acoustic and fire-resistant properties
-
Book binding and notebook covers
-
Stamp liners with special wicking and capillary properties
​​
...to name just a few unique applications of the Corium™ family of products.
