Johnson Controls, a global leader in quality products, services, and solutions for the automobile sector, is set to launch its FreshPer4mance coating for automotive seats that repels dirt and liquid, at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), to be held at Detroit’s Cobo Center.

Making textiles liquid repellent stain and germ resistant, FreshPer4mance allows stubborn dirt to be removed with one wipe, without leaving any marks. This also makes it easier to keep the seats clean, hygienic, and odour free. The highly effective coating can be applied to all cover fabrics. For optimum, long-lasting protection, Johnson Controls coat the entire fabric during the production process, according to a press release.

FreshPer4mance is ideal for heavily used seat covers in commercial vehicles as well as for vehicles with constantly changing drivers, such as rental cars, car-sharing and pool vehicles, as well as for owners who have small children. It also increases the cleanliness and value of private vehicles. The coating enables automakers to expand their range of trim fabrics to include lighter colours and thus offer their customers more distinctive and customized vehicle options.

Johnson Controls is a global leader in automotive seating, overhead systems, floor consoles, door panels, and instrument panels.

NAIAS is one of the world’s premier automotive exhibitions held annually. (GK)
