The Most Advanced Option for Commercial Airline Seating – IZIT Leather!

Whether you want to reduce your airline’s carbon footprint or add to its interior elegance, IZIT Leather BioSYN® delivers and makes the obvious choice. The culmination of three years of intensive product development by IZIT’s producer Willow Tex, IZIT BioSYN Leather is the premier choice for commercial airline seating applications. Available in several performance options, IZIT BioSYN meets all your requirements for performance, sustainability, and low cost of ownership.

Excellent Overall Performance

In a recent evaluation in which a leather research laboratory at a renowned US university conducted a comprehensive battery of performance tests on six different synthetic leathers currently offered for commercial transportation seating, IZIT Leather XRT ranked among the highest of the materials tested.

Greenest Bio-Synthetic Formulation in the Market

Willow Tex has devoted considerable resources to developing a product that meets today’s focus on protecting the environment for future generations. To that end, enhanced product formulations now include plant-based fillers, bio-based polycarbonates, and backer fabric made from recycled water bottles. Our products contain as much as 70% bio and recycled materials!

Non-Corrosive Characteristic

In recent years airlines and seating manufacturers have been concerned with the recurrence of certain synthetic leather products being corrosive to the metallic components of seat frame structures. Millions of dollars in repair and replacement costs have been spent to correct this problem. We are proud to confirm that of all the materials tested in the above-referenced evaluation, IZIT Leather was the ONLY aviation synthetic leather tested that exhibited no corrosion or discoloration to the metallic substrate employed in the ASTM D1611 test protocol. You can rest assured that your seat structures are safe and secure with IZIT Leather.

Available Antimicrobial Topcoat

In today’s post-pandemic world, we’re more aware of the contamination dangers of microbes in public-transit settings. IZIT Leather can be produced with a durable treatment that kills 99%+ of all bacteria and viruses that land on its surface. This additive is safe and permanent while maintaining its effectiveness years after installation.

• Eco-Friendly Patented Technology

Not only does it out-rank the competition in performance, but IZIT Leather is measurably eco-friendly. It achieves cost-efficient production through our patented EcoCel manufacturing process that, compared with conventional synthetic leathers, uses up to 90% less energy, 80% fewer solvents, and eliminates wastewater.

Made in the USA!

And there is more good news: Willow Tex has erected the world’s most modern synthetic leather production facility in Mt. Airy, North Carolina. The company is partnering with regional US textile manufacturers to source its component materials for IZIT Leather, making IZIT Leather a “Made in the USA” product.
