The leather industry has a great impact on the environment, especially involving the discharge of a large number of toxic and harmful substances. Strictly controlling the pollution during leather production is of great significance to the protection of surface water, groundwater, soil and atmospheric environment. Under the requirement of balancing environmental protection and sustainable development of the industry, a new type of leather synthetic material has gradually entered the public's vision - silicone leather!

The solvent based PU leather with the largest amount of use now needs to be diluted with a large amount of chemical solvents during the production and preparation process, resulting in a large amount of VOC emissions and serious environmental pollution. In 2020, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China successively issued the Comprehensive Treatment Plan for Volatile Organic Compounds in Key Industries and the Key Treatment Plan for Volatile Organic Compounds in 2020, indicating that it is imperative to replace solvent based PU resin to solve the pollution problem.

Organic silicon leather is a new type of environment-friendly leather material. This material is not only soft, but also superior to traditional materials in functional characteristics such as wear resistance and durability. At the same time, it is also an ideal material considered as "carbon neutral". This material has been widely used in automobile interior decoration. Parts directly contacting with the driver are wrapped with silicone leather materials, such as seats and steering wheels. The friction of the material itself provides the driver with a better driving feeling.
