Hyphyn is a revolutionary new performance upholstery material, that marries cutting-edge woven and coated technology to create a unique Conventional Vinyl is known for durability—but not for biodegradability or environmental compatibility. Hyphyn changes that. It breaks down over 90% within 24 months in landfill conditions, leaves no microplastics or toxins, and even leaves healthy soil behind. Verified through ASTM D5511 biodegradability testing and other third-party testing, Hyphyn proves that high performance and sustainability can coexist.

There is no other vinyl that does the same.

Proven to Perform, Certified to Disappear: Five Part Testing for a More Sustainable Future

Hyphyn has undergone a series of five rigorous third-party tests to ensure both environmental and human safety.

Proven Biodegradation

ASTM D5511
Hyphyn is proven to biodegrade over 90% within 24 months in a landfill environment.

Material Safety

Eurofins – Chem ST
Before degradation, Hyphyn is tested for chemical content to confirm responsible production. It is free of lead, heavy metals, PFAS, and formaldehyde and meets Prop 65, RoHS, and REACH compliance standards.

Post-Biodegradation Soil Testing

Eurofins – Chem ST
The remnant soil was analyzed for over 1,000 potentially toxic chemicals. Result: No harmful chemicals detected.

Soil Health Test

ASTM E1963 PYMS Plant Germination and Soil Toxicology Analysis
A side-by-side germination study compared soil samples from Hyphyn degradation with those from conventional vinyl. The result? 100% seed germination in Hyphyn-treated soil—confirming healthy, toxin-free soil.

Incineration Testing

NIEA M801.13B Dioxin Content Analysis
Hyphyn is tested to ensure safe incineration. The result: the overall I-TEQ toxicity level was measured at less than 0.001 ng/g confirming that Hyphyn is safe for incineration.

Indoor Air Quality Testing

California Department of Public Health Section 01350
Hyphyn is tested for VOC emissions to ensure low-VOC performance and safe indoor air quality.
