LOVR™ can be finished in a variety of ways: pressing for a smooth finish, sanding for a soft suede feel, embossing to resemble a classic leather grain, and perforation to adjust breathability.

The following results are from the last industrial production run, LOVR™ tested under standardised conditions. Full test documentation is available upon request. Thickness: 1.039 mm (EN ISO 2589). Area weight: 999.72 g/m² (EN ISO 2420). Abrasion resistance (Martindale, dry): no pitting after 402,400 cycles (DIN EN ISO 20344). Flex resistance (Flexometer, dry): result 2 – very slight change at 10,000 flexes (EN ISO 5402). Colour fastness to rubbing (Crockmeter, dry): grey scale 5 (EN ISO 17700). Colour fastness to rubbing (Crockmeter, wet): grey scale 4–5 (EN ISO 17700). Water vapour permeability: 28.24 mg/cm² (DIN EN ISO 20347). Tensile strength: 7.26 MPa lengthwise, 5.15 MPa crosswise (EN ISO 3376). Elongation at break: 7.5% lengthwise, 25.7% crosswise (EN ISO 3376).

Thickness typically ranges from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm depending on application and customisation.

Yes. LOVR™ can be 3D formed, cut, embossed and perforated, allowing for significant design versatility. It is available in a standard width of 1.40 metres on rolls of any length. Custom cutting and confection are available.

LOVR™ offers moderate flexibility due to its dense hemp fibre structure, making it well suited to structured applications. Improved flexibility achieved in the lab in 2026 is scheduled for validation at industrial scale.

Yes, LOVR™ can be bonded using adhesives, including bio-based options such as Caremelt®.

LOVR™ withstands temperatures up to 130°C for short processing periods of up to 3 minutes, making it compatible with standard industrial finishing workflows.

LOVR™ develops a natural patina over time while maintaining structural integrity. Surface colour remains stable under abrasion. It will only biodegrade under active composting conditions with heat, moisture and microbial activity – not during normal product use.

LOVR™ naturally presents in earthy tones including browns and greys. It can be coloured using natural pigments, working best for subtle and muted finishes.

A patent for the LOVR™ production process and material was filed in Germany in 2021 and subsequently in the EU and internationally via PCT in the USA, Canada, China, India, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. The patent is currently pending.

Yes. LOVR™'s single-layer structure enables recyclability, allowing it to remain in the industrial loop at end of life.

The most recent production run, is certified 99% bio-based under the USDA BioPreferred® Programme. LOVR™ 2.0currently in development, is certified 100% bio-based. A life-cycle assessment based on real industrial production data is available upon request

Yes, a life-cycle assessment has been completed for LOVR™, based on data from existing industrial-scale production runs. Carbon footprint: 2.54 kg CO₂e/m² (cradle-to-gate, scope: Global Warming Potential). Key drivers are ingredient composition and energy consumption during production – both are active development goals. The full one-pager is available upon request at info@revoltech.com.

Yes. In a real-world composting trial at the Botanical Garden Darmstadt, LOVR™ fully broke down within 320 days under natural green-waste composting conditions. A standard PU-based synthetic leather sample showed no visible change over the same period. Disclaimer: results observed under natural composting conditions, not certified under EN 13432.

LOVR™ has been tested and applied across fashion and accessories, footwear, interior and furniture design, and automotive interiors. It has passed prototyping and pilot-stage gates in all four categories.

Yes. LOVR™ is actively being piloted for automotive interior applications in collaboration with Volkswagen and Motherson Innovations. The joint project received the Plug and Play Global Innovation Award for Sustainability at expo2025. Target for series use in vehicle interiors: 2028.

LOVR™ is currently in production. Material will be available from summer 2026. Pre-orders are open for selected configurations.

Standard lead times range from 4 to 6 weeks depending on order size and customisation.

The MOQ for standard collection orders is 1,000 m². Sample orders are available for prototyping and technical validation.

Pricing is volume-dependent. Contact us at info@revoltech.com for a quote.

Like genuine leather, LOVR™ should not be exposed to excessive moisture. It absorbs water, but once dried, water exposure does not leave marks or residues.

LOVR™ can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive moisture exposure.

Yes. We collaborate with brands on custom formulations, application development and innovation-driven projects. We are open to additional piloting partnerships across all industries.

LOVR™ is being developed for automotive interior applications in an ongoing pilot collaboration with Volkswagen and Motherson Innovations.

Five industrial production runs have been completed to date, producing over 19,500 m² in total. LOVR™ is currently in production and will be available again from summer 2026.

MATTR™ is available in thicknesses ranging from 1.5 mm to 3 mm.

MATTR™ can withstand temperatures more than 90°C for up to 3 minutes.

MATTR™ is extremely flexible, enduring more than 100,000 Ballyflex cycles. It is softer and more supple than LOVR™, making it well suited to applications where drape and touch matter.

MATTR™ develops a natural patina over time but remains structurally sound with regular use. It will only degrade under active composting conditions with heat, moisture and microbial activity.

Yes. MATTR™ can be coloured using natural pigments while preserving its circular design focus.

Shaping options are still under evaluation. Customisation is available for colour and the type of backer used.

Yes. In a real-world composting trial at the Botanical Garden Darmstadt, MATTR™ fully broke down within 137 days under natural green-waste composting conditions. A standard PU-based synthetic leather sample showed no visible change over the same period. Disclaimer: results observed under natural composting conditions, not certified under EN 13432.

A prospective life-cycle assessment has been completed for MATTR™, modelling an assumed future industrial-scale production scenario. Carbon footprint: 2.71 kg CO₂e/m² cradle-to-gate (Global Warming Potential). Key drivers are the textile backer and energy consumption. Both are active development goals: reducing water content in the process and selecting a more sustainable backer material. Note: this is a prospective LCA based on future process assumptions, not yet on measured production data. The full one-pager is available upon request at info@revoltech.com.

Yes. MATTR™ is USDA Certified 100% BioPreferred®. Additional certifications are being explored as the formulation is further optimised.

MATTR™ is suited to footwear, fashion accessories, upholstery and experimental automotive applications. Its softness and flexibility make it particularly well suited to applications where drape and tactile quality are central.

MATTR™ is currently being explored for conceptual automotive applications and remains in the experimental phase.

MATTR™ is in early development and currently available in lab-scale sheets of 30×40 cm for selected prototyping partners only. It is not yet available for series orders.

Pricing is volume-dependent and based on the specific use case. Contact us at info@revoltech.com for details.

Like genuine leather, MATTR™ should not be exposed to excessive moisture.

MATTR™ can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive moisture exposure.

Yes. We collaborate with selected partners on application testing, prototyping and material development. MATTR™ development is currently supported by the WATER research project, funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt, focusing on improving feel, function and circular design.

MATTR™ is in early development. It is currently available in lab-scale sheets (30×40 cm) for selected prototyping partners and is not yet available for series orders. An industrial continuous production run has been completed as a first scalability test.
