The natural choice for performance.
Introducing FreeTAN® with free FR technology from Muirhead.
Technological Breakthrough
For over two decades, we have heavily invested in new initiatives to develop future-proof tanning systems without relying on chrome salts and glutaraldehyde. We have increased our aviation products' biodegradability and composability properties. This is a vital next step in our journey to increase the bio-based renewable carbon content of our leather to 90% and above. We removed as many fossil-fuel-oil-derived components and heavy metals as possible without compromising technical excellence.
Cutting-Edge Free FR Technology
Muirhead FreeTAN® also maintains our status as the leading flame-retardant leather in the industry, regularly outperforming the industry standard by over 5 seconds in the Vertical Burn test. Our free FR technology is an efficient, environmentally friendly flame-retardant treatment refined through rigorous testing and years of development and is free of many harmful substances.
