Premium automotive OEM leather must satisfy standards that general upholstery leather does not face: sustained high temperatures from cabin heat, UV exposure through windscreens, resistance to body oils and cosmetics, anti-yellowing properties to maintain colour over years of use, and Martindale ratings that match the life expectancy of the vehicle. MERCEDES meets all of these requirements and provides the documentation to prove it.
the highest automotive Martindale rating in the Kodel range, appropriate for vehicle seat applications where a service life of 5-10 years is expected.
prevents the colour shift seen in lower-grade PU leather when exposed to UV and heat over time, maintaining colour integrity across the vehicle's service life.
a tight, consistent grain pattern that replicates the surface quality of genuine automotive leather used in premium OEM vehicle programmes.
covers the premium automotive colour palette including oyster, champagne, dark cognac, off-white, deep black, and charcoal grey.
the two combined specifications required for windscreen-adjacent surfaces in Thai and Southeast Asian automotive environments.

Expert Tip
For MERCEDES applications in premium projects, always test the physical sample under your actual production conditions before committing to a full order. Confirm sewing machinability, adhesive bond strength, and surface compatibility with your finishing process.
MERCEDES is developed to meet the performance benchmarks of premium OEM automotive leather: 70,000+ Martindale, UV Grade 4+, heat resistance to 95 degrees C, and anti-yellowing treatment. It is positioned for the premium aftermarket segment and custom executive vehicle programmes rather than as a certified OEM supply to vehicle manufacturers. For formal OEM programmes with specific technical protocols, contact the Kodel team to discuss documentation requirements.
MERCEDES is the premium-tier automotive collection with 70,000+ Martindale, anti-yellowing treatment, and a fine-grain luxury finish suited to executive vehicles. AUTO PRIME offers 15 colours with a standard embossed grain and 55,000+ Martindale, suited to mainstream passenger car applications. Choose MERCEDES for premium aftermarket or executive vehicle interiors; choose AUTO PRIME for standard seat cover production.
Yes. MERCEDES is the recommended Kodel collection for limousine and chauffeur vehicle interiors, where the interior material must maintain visual quality over extended service at the premium end of the aftermarket. The 17-colour palette includes the oyster, cream, and cognac tones commonly specified in executive vehicle interiors.
Yes. Light-coloured automotive leather (cream, oyster, champagne) is particularly susceptible to yellowing from UV exposure and heat cycling over time. MERCEDES's anti-yellowing treatment is critical for light-tone applications where colour integrity over years of service is a quality requirement.
Martindale test reports, UV stability data, heat resistance test documentation, anti-yellowing test data, and REACH certification are all available for MERCEDES. Contact the Kodel team to request the relevant documentation for your application.
Kodel Decorative stocks MERCEDES at our Bangkok showroom at 55 Soi Lat Ya 2, Khlong San, Bangkok. Walk-in visits are welcome Monday to Saturday. For wholesale enquiries, sample requests, or B2B pricing, contact our team directly.
