What is the primary chemical makeup of this product? I am leery of using strong chemicals on canvas on chairs because of transference.

I am sorry but I don't know the chemical makeup. We use it on the canvas tarp over our pontoon boat and it works great

I spray my furniture with alcohol. The exterminator told me that one. I didn't want the chemicals from this on my clothes when I sit on the furniture afterward.

Again as noted on other responses, test it on an area which is not going to show. The stuff is strong, and might remove some natural finishes, like oil finishes. It is really not for furniture.

There are directions on the bottle for potion ratios. I can't really say one way or another how well it will hold up on camping chairs as I haven't tried that personally (although I may have to now since that sounds very cool) but putting what I have used it on through the wash a few times it seems like my paint has held up a lot better than those I used without it. I still have a few spots where it did come off some bit I am not sure it it's because I didn't mix it well enough or because it isn't working like it should my dish clothes have held up amazingly well though as I use them daily!

Before you spray it, faintly like pepper. When you spray it at first it is too strong with art studio volatiles overwhelming the fragrance. After it first settles on your skin, to me, it most resembles lemon-pepper with a hint of pine needles. It might be cousins with furniture polish!

Im not sure I would. What I would do is (with the right chemicals of course and always try in a corner out of the way) Pre spray the chairs w chem real well, take a softer hand scrub brush and dip it in a bucket of chem/water mix and scrub the seats. I would only also do that if you either have a carpet cleaner w attachment or a shop vac (that end of hose was washed) and use either attachment or use shop vac to slowly extract cleaner and dirt will come w it. May need a 2nd shot, but I have both med and firm and have only used them on a carpet type material. Even the med is too firm for that stuff. Need soft brush and best chemicals.

I looked at the label and it lists titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. I see no chemical sunscreen ingredient on the label. I'm very sensitive to the chemical sunblocks and the Eclipse formulation causes me no problems. I am on my second tube.

Fire retardants are so commonly used in furnishings that I'd suggest asking the manufacturer to be sure. If chemicals are present, with more and more people concerned about chemical exposure, they may not note it on the packaging lest it reduce sales.I subsequently found this answer in this thread: "I emailed Luna, who responded with this quote 'Our protectors are not treated with anything at all.'"

hi, I like your post. I just want to know more about "vinyl". We just got our huge sectional recovered with "faux leather".. aka vinyl. since the denim slipcover was old and the couch was still great! Also, my husband has allergies... and leather or vinyl is easier to keep clean. but the smell is terrible!! I had done a lot of research on the feel and look.. but never heard a thing about the health concerns or SMELL!!! I am encouraged by your post.. but still nervous it may not be safe.. and also. wondering if this smell will EVER go away?!!

I've forgotten the industry name for the stuff, but it is 'mostly' leather, a composite of ground up leather and synthetics which feels, acts, and smells like leather, is sturdy and authentic looking. The chair is attractive, has a nice 'hand' if you prefer to sit on on leather, and is a bargain. I suspect the frame will loosen up and fail long before the composite leather upholstery wears out. Ah, found it in Wikipedia, it's 'bonded leather', "...The US Federal Trade Commission recommends according to 16 C.F.R. Section 24: "For example: An industry product made of a composition material consisting of 60% shredded leather fibers may be described as: Bonded Leather Containing 60% Leather Fibers and 40% Non-leather Substances."[7] The Federal Trade Commission has said that "The guidelines caution against misrepresentations about the leather content in products containing ground, reconstituted, or bonded leather, and state that such products, when they appear to be made of leather, should be accompanied by a disclosure as to the percentage of leather or other fiber content. The guidelines also state that these disclosures should be included in any product advertising that might otherwise mislead consumers as to the composition of the product..."

Maia S. I'm sorry to say that I'm unsure of what chemicals are used in making this seat, but the material is the same as a camping chair.

Good question. It only says 100% mom toxic on the bottle but doesn't list any ingredients. That being said, I was pleased writhe results on our leather couch.

Since our proprietary mixture of ingredients is a secret formula known only by a few family and company members, we unfortunately are unable to list out the ingredients. What we can tell you is that each component is completely non-toxic both by themselves and when combined together. We recently had a situation where a customer contacted us because his dog had gotten into a bottle and consumed the entire contents and was worried about any side effects. Fortunately, the dog ended up being completely fine and the only side effect was having our product "pass through his system" for a couple of days. :) This does not mean that anyone or their pet should ever intentionally consume Leather Afterlife, but we only wanted to relay that story to indicate how we have attempted to make our product not only the best leather conditioner available (as indicated by our customers!), but also the safest. If you have any specific questions that we can answer, please don't hesitate to contact us. The Leather Afterlife Team at Intervine

I do not know what the ingredients are, but it says it has no harsh chemicals. It works very well for me, and does not fade my carpet

Hi EtezadkhahMy guess (and only guess based on odor) that the underlying epoxy is Hysol. I Googled on Hysol and did not find any solvent listed. I did read the other replies and while I have some absolute alcohol on hand (used to desolve shellac to make varnish) it is not all that easy to buy, illegal to sell in the state of Florida, they fear someone would drink it! Oh well. You have a tough problem. You can keep Googling on Hysol maybe there is a solvent for it some where. Maybe you can try "super glue" solvent. Just possible that this epoxy is designed to never let loose.Joe Hi EtezadkhahMy guess (and only guess based on odor) that the underlying epoxy is Hysol.

The chair comes with what I assume to be an oil finish or maybe a varnish. In either case, I would not recommend the chair be painted unless you know how to strip off the old finish. A professional painter could do it.

You should have some sort of hvlp system or something that can spray an even coat on you. It stays pretty good, I bought it for a regular client of mine but I normally use organic products. If it's too much for you, you should use Morrocon Mineral self tanners they are by far the best I've ever encountered!!! If you have any questions more I have my website www.naturalfxtan.com their you can find my contact info and call or text. Ozzy
