Eurotech Apollo High-Back Executive Chair
Lower PFAS concern for a standard office chair with no water/stain treatment claims.
The Eurotech Apollo is a conventional executive chair with mesh upholstery and foam cushioning, materials not typically associated with intentional PFAS use. Eurotech provides no public PFAS disclosure or sustainability claims.

Why this grade
Category baseline
furniture is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement about PFAS in this product.
Safe base material
Made from a material with no inherent PFAS use (ceramic, mineral, or natural fiber).
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
The Apollo High-Back uses a mesh back panel (typically polyester or nylon), polyurethane or polyester foam seat cushion, and a plastic or metal base frame. Mesh backing is chosen for breathability and durability; the foam is common in office seating for comfort retention over time. Neither material inherently requires water or stain resistance treatments, which lowers the likelihood of chemical additives like PFAS or flame retardants in this model.
The brand's record and disclosure
Eurotech is a mid-market office furniture supplier with no widely publicized chemical disclosure statements or third-party certifications (such as Greenguard or OEKO-TEX) on public record for this chair. The brand has not issued public commitments on PFAS phase-out, nor are there documented recalls or safety controversies specific to the Apollo line. This represents a common industry baseline: transparency is limited but no red flags are established.
How it compares in its category
Standard high-back executive chairs in this price range typically use similar mesh, foam, and plastic-base construction. The Apollo does not stand out as either premium (with stain guards or advanced materials) or budget-oriented (with vinyl or heavy flame retardants). It falls in the mid-tier where hazard risk is moderate and well-understood; higher-end alternatives may offer more transparency, while lower-cost options sometimes use higher-flame-retardant foams.
If you buy it
Inspect the mesh and foam for off-gassing smell in the first week; air the chair in a ventilated space if needed. Do not expose the seat cushion to direct heat or prolonged sunlight, which can degrade polyurethane faster. Vacuum the mesh regularly to prevent dust accumulation in seams. Replace the cushion if it shows permanent compression (no recovery after sitting) or the mesh tears, as worn padding may shed microfibers.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Polyurethane foam off-gassing (VOC/formaldehyde)
Polyurethane foam cushioning can emit volatile organic compounds during the first days to weeks of use, particularly if stored in warm conditions. No specific off-gassing data is on record for this Eurotech model, but it is a standard concern for office seating of this type.
Mesh fiber shedding and microplastics
Polyester or nylon mesh backing can shed fine fibers over years of use and friction. While not acutely hazardous, accumulated microfiber release in indoor air is a low-level concern for any synthetic mesh chair used long-term.
Plastic base or armrest leachables
No specific leaching data exists for Eurotech's base components. Standard office chair plastics (polypropylene, nylon) used in non-heated, non-food-contact applications pose minimal risk under normal office conditions.
Flame retardant additives in foam
The Apollo is not marketed as stain or fire resistant, suggesting minimal added flame retardant treatments. Standard commercial foam may still contain low levels of brominated or phosphate-based retardants per building code, but this is not a distinguishing concern for this chair.
Azo dyes or colorant contamination in mesh
No hazardous dye recalls or documented issues are on record for Eurotech mesh chairs. Standard polyester mesh uses conventional colorants with no known heavy-metal contamination reported for this brand.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
