Tirrenina™
Sustainable Manufacturing
Responsible Innovation
Utilizing a multi-patented solvent free manufacturing process, Clarino has developed an environmentally intelligent process to make microfiber with incredibly soft hand, vibrant colors and high performance properties.
Surrounded by over 50 patents, Tirrenina™ was a major investment made by Clarino in efforts to support Kuraray in their efforts to reduce Co2 emissions by 2020.
Tirrenina™ vs. Leather
Cross Section Comparisons
BIOMIMICRY OF LEATHER
The islands-in-the-sea fiber construction of the Clarino Advanced Technology Systems basecloth replicates the collagen structure found in animal leather.
This gives Tirrenina™ a premium leather-like look and hand feel with superior physical properties. A high-quality, consistent and durable microfiber leather alternative that allows for modern manufacturing processes and innovative design.
The multi-patented water-based manufacturing process for Tirrenina™ is cleaner and safer than traditional synthetic and natural leather production.
ENGINEERED PERFORMANCE
30% lighter than leather, higher tear strength, improved bonding, stable in wet conditions, excellent color capabilities.
Tirrenina™ is engineered to outlast and outperform standard animal leather. Remove layers and achieve more function with less. Tirrenina™ is engineered to outlast and outperform natural leather, offering a consistent high-performing microfiber suede that won’t dry out over time and stays soft after processing.
The polyester basecloth makes it ideal for vibrant and high-risk color combinations.
