Eurotech Apollo Series Adjustable High Synchro Swivel Office Chair
Lower PFAS concern for typical office chair; verify upholstery source if stain-resistant claims appear.
The Apollo Series is a standard synchro swivel office chair with mesh and foam, materials not inherently linked to PFAS. Eurotech makes no PFAS claims or disclosures.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
The Apollo Series combines polyurethane foam cushioning, mesh fabric upholstery, and aluminum/steel frame components. Polyurethane foam is widely used in office seating and does not inherently release toxic volatiles under normal indoor temperatures. The mesh fabric avoids adhesive-heavy constructions that can off-gas formaldehyde or volatile organic compounds; mesh is typically woven and minimally treated. The aluminum and steel frame are stable materials with no expected leaching under typical office conditions.
The brand's record and disclosure
Eurotech is a mid-market US office furniture manufacturer without prominent public safety certifications (GREENGUARD, OEKO-TEX, or similar) prominently advertised in available sources. The brand has not issued major product recalls or disclosed safety controversies in public records related to this chair model. PFAS stance is undisclosed; no stain-resistant or water-repellent claims on the Apollo Series reduce likelihood of intentional PFAS application, though supplier-level contamination cannot be ruled out.
How it compares in its category
Mesh office chairs dominate the mid-range segment and represent a safer material choice than solid vinyl or heavily treated fabrics because they off-gas less and require fewer flame retardant treatments. Competitors like Herman Miller (Aeron) and Steelcase (Leap) carry third-party certifications absent from Eurotech's marketing, but certification is not legally required for safe office seating. The Apollo's design is functionally standard for ergonomic office chairs; hazard profile is typical for the category rather than elevated.
If you buy it
Unbox and air the chair in a ventilated space for 2-4 hours to off-gas any residual manufacturing odors; this is routine for polyurethane foam furniture. Clean mesh fabric annually with a soft brush or vacuum to prevent dust accumulation, which can harbor bacteria and allergens. Inspect foam cushions for tears or compression loss every 2-3 years; degraded foam can be replaced without replacing the entire frame. Avoid prolonged direct heat sources (space heaters, direct sunlight) near the foam, as sustained warmth can accelerate polyurethane degradation.
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 (VOCs)
New polyurethane foam typically releases low levels of volatile organic compounds during the first weeks of use. This is a minor concern with mesh office chairs because foam is encased and air circulation in office environments is usually adequate; off-gassing diminishes rapidly.
Flame retardant chemicals in foam
No public disclosure from Eurotech confirms flame retardant chemistry in the Apollo Series cushioning. US foam used in seating is often treated with flame retardants, but mesh-backed designs typically use minimal treatment compared to closed-back upholstered chairs.
Heavy metals in frame coatings or fasteners
Aluminum and steel frames in office chairs are not known sources of lead or cadmium leaching under normal indoor use. Paint or powder coatings on metal frames are incidental to contact risk; no specific safety data exists for this model.
Formaldehyde in adhesives or fabric finishes
Mesh fabric may use formaldehyde-based binders or sizing, but formaldehyde emissions from non-upholstered mesh seating are generally low. Eurotech provides no low-formaldehyde certification, so exposure risk is within typical office furniture range.
Bacterial growth in mesh and foam if moisture-exposed
Mesh and foam retain moisture if exposed to spills or high humidity without proper drying. Regular cleaning and air-drying prevent mold and bacterial colonization; this is a use-dependent hazard, not an intrinsic material flaw.
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.
