The qualities of responsibility and environmental sustainability in industrial production are a green hope for the future of all of us. Contributing to the process of recycling materials and a production method that respects the environment and keeps it clean is also possible in the production and moulding of technopolymers.
All the S•CAB production is made with 100% recyclable materials as their individual components can quickly be sorted for disposal. Every plastic element has the identification mark according to ISO11469:2001, and provides easy directions for recycling. All materials used by S•CAB for its production are of first quality.

Plastics

S•CAB uses techno-polymers with ideal characteristics to manufacture its products, polymeric materials that ensure sturdiness, stability, non-toxicity, resistance to atmospheric agents including mould, dust and smog, and resistance to UV rays. All our techno-polymers are 100% recyclable in full respect for the environment. For cleaning use neutral liquid soap diluted in water. Clean with a soft damp cloth to avoid scratches, by all means refrain from using abrasive sponges. Do not use abrasive or chlorine-based products, or solvents in general such as alcohol, benzine, acetone, trichloroethylene, ammonia etc., because these substances tarnish plastic surfaces.

Metals | Steel

Only the highest quality steels are used and a strict control on mechanical resistance values is applied throughout the whole manufacturing process.

Metals | Aluminium

Aluminium is a metal that combines lightness and great strength, and its surface is anodised or polyester powder coated to ensure superior resistance to corrosion. For cleaning use only a soft damp cloth to clean steel, aluminium or coated metal surfaces. Do not use abrasive creams or pastes to clean metals and do not use solvents. We recommend that by all means you refrain from using abrasive sponges or steel wool to clean the surfaces.

Wood

S•CAB furniture items with wooden shell and/or Frame are manufactured in compliance with European standards, with full respect for the environment. For cleaning use only a soft suiting damp cloth and warm water and dry immediately with a soft, dry suiting. Do not use abrasive or aggressive products, chlorine based products and solvents in general. (ammonia, bleach or cleaning products containing acid). Immediately mop up any spilt liquids with a clean dry cloth, wood does not stand the humidity. Do not expose to direct sunlight. Do not expose to sources of heat. Wood is a natural material and shall be subject to change color when exposed to sunlight. Wood is a natural raw material; this means that you cannot guarantee the homogeneity and uniformity of synthetic materials. Even elements made from the same plant may show colour differences. Colour variations or imperfections, due to the fibres or veins of wood, are a guarantee of the quality of solid wood and constitute its uniqueness. The colours of our woods are water-based, to respect the environment and health.

Fabrics

For instructions on how to clean fabrics, please refer to the specific data sheet. For everyday cleaning do not brush, but vacuum clean regularly, avoiding applying pressure to the fabric. For light stains, use a soft damp brush, using if necessary mild detergents or white vinegar diluted in a lot of water. Do not use abrasive products or detergents or solvents. Do not use high pressure steam washers.

Simil-leather

For everyday cleaning use a soft, damped cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft sponge with water and soap. Do not use abrasive products or detergents or solvents for cleaning. Immediately mop up any spilt liquids with a clean dry cloth. Some dyes for clothing and accessories (e.g., jeans) may migrate to the light colours of this item. This phenomenon increases with humidity and temperature. We take no responsibility for colour transfer caused by external contaminants.

Leather

S•CAB uses only natural vegetable tanned leather for its upholstered seats. For everyday cleaning, use a soft dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products or detergents or solvents for cleaning.

OUTDOOR CUSHIONS

Maintenance and cleaning

We recommend always following the instructions on the technical data sheets of the individual fabric and on any labels attached.
We suggest regularly cleaning the fabrics to maintain their appearance and prolong their life.
We recommend gentle daily cleaning with a vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
Dry liquids as soon as possible with a white absorbent cloth.
For light stains it is important to act quickly using a soft damp brush or a white cloth, using delicate detergents if needed.
Before use, always evaluate the effectiveness of detergents on small, hidden parts. Do not use abrasive products, concentrates, solvents, or bleaches.
The above advice does not guarantee complete removal of stains.
The acrylic fabric cushions are suitable for outdoor use. During use, we still recommend protecting the cushions from bad weather with the appropriate protective sheets and avoiding prolonged exposure to the elements.
Before storing the product for the season of non-use, make sure that it is dry and clean and that it is stored in a dry and ventilated place, to prevent the formation of moisture condensation.
All fabrics may undergo a natural colour change following exposure to the sun and/or prolonged use, this is a normal effect and cannot be considered a defect.
All fabrics may have slight natural colour differences compared to the sample, these are normal effects and cannot be considered defects.

Cork

Cork is a 100% eco-friendly, natural, and recycled material; it is soft, elastic, insulating, with fire retardant properties, and can be used both outside (using the same precautions and the same maintenance as wooden products) and inside.
The material is a wooden essence and lightens in the sun, as its natural feature.
For cleaning, use a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Do not use aggressive products because the material absorbs and it could damage it.

HPL and Fenix compact laminate table tops

HPL and Fenix compact laminates are panels made up of several layers of cellulose fibre material, impregnated with thermosetting resins. They have excellent mechanical, physical, hygiene, and resistance qualities.

Maintenance

For cleaning, use a neutral liquid soap diluted in water. Clean with a soft, damp cloth to avoid scratches. Always finish by rinsing with lukewarm water and dry with a soft, clean cloth to avoid lime deposits. Do not leave the tops wet for long and dry any spilled liquids. Do not use abrasive or aggressive products, or abrasive sponges or brushes.
The material may be subject to variations due to changing climatic and thermal conditions, it is therefore possible that alignment differences may arise.

Laminated wood tops

Maintenance and cleaning

For cleaning use a liquid neutral soap diluted in water. Clean with a soft damp cloth to prevent scratches. Do not use abrasive or aggressive products (ammonia, bleach or cleaning products containing acid).
DRY THE TABLE TOP AFTER CLEANING OR IN CASE OF DROPPING LIQUIDS.
THE LAMINATED WOOD TOP DOES NOT STAND THE HUMIDITY.
