From revolutionary footwear to revolutionary ergonomic seating
Material choice is paramount in designing products that prioritise comfort, durability, and functionality. When Nike revolutionised the footwear industry with the introduction of its ground-breaking cushioning technology known as Air Max, it involved the development of a durable and flexible material called Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). This innovation allowed the company to move beyond traditional foam soles, creating air-filled pockets within the sole of the shoe. These "air bubbles" enhance performance and provide unparalleled comfort, thanks to the unique properties of TPU. But what does this have to do with ergonomic seating?
Why do we use TPU in ergonomic seating?
In manufacturing ergonomic seating components, we turn to NIKE TPU for several compelling reasons. This high-performance material offers unique advantages that align perfectly with our commitment to quality and user satisfaction. We incorporated TPU into our patented air cell seating technology as it can withstand the rigorous demands of inflation and deflation, over a very long period. It allows our ergonomic air cells to provide superior comfort by evenly distributing pressure, reducing pressure points, and offering optimal spinal support.
Superior Flexibility and Comfort
One of the standout features of TPU is its exceptional flexibility. This material has the ability to adapt to the contours of the body and provide a customised fit. Ergonomic seating components made with TPU can bend and stretch without losing shape, making them ideal for prolonged use.
Unmatched Durability
Durability is also a critical factor as users rely on these products daily, and they must withstand regular wear and tear without degrading. TPU is renowned for its high abrasion resistance and toughness so it can endure repetitive stress and maintain its structural integrity over time. This durability means that our ergonomic air seating remains effective and reliable, providing long-term value to our customers.
Enhanced Performance in Diverse Conditions
Our ergonomic lumbar supports are utilised in various environments such as offices, homes, and vehicles, and must consistently perform under different conditions. TPU, known for its excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and temperature variations, ensures that our ergonomic seating components maintain both their performance and appearance, regardless of the environment.
Versatility in Design
NIKE TPU offers incredible versatility in design, allowing us to innovate and create ergonomic seating that meets the diverse needs of the designers with whom we collaborate. This material can be easily moulded into various shapes and sizes, enabling us to produce custom air cell seating designs that cater to specific ergonomic requirements.
Ergonomic Seat Design Possibilities
Innovation in technology and design has always focused on enhancing the user experience and TPU has been pivotal in these advancements.
