Gem

At Austex our commitment to quality is not limited to the performance of our products but extends to the concerns of the environment. Gem is a greener alternative to vinyl (PVC) and leather both in production and aftercare. Gem has a solid 100% high density polyurethane surface that outperforms all other synthetics. Unlike other traditional P.U's that do not stretch, Gem has been developed with a unique four way stretch backing. The manufacturing process is like no other synthetic on the market. The ultimate textile choice with outstanding performance in high traffic areas.
