Silicone leather is a new type of environment-friendly leather, which takes silicone rubber as raw material and adopts solvent-free technology to make leather by coating and bonding silicone on various substrates such as microfiber and non-woven cloth, which is suitable for a variety of industries and belongs to the new material industry developed in the 21st century.

 

Structure of silicone leather:
The surface layer is coated with 100% organosilicon material, the middle layer is 100% organosilicon adhesive material, and the bottom layer is all kinds of base cloth.
 
Silica gel leather features:
Environmental protection, air permeability;
Weather resistance, hydrolysis resistance;
Flame retardant, easy to clean;
Wear resistance, bend resistance, etc.

 

Silica gel leather application field:
It can be used in furniture, yacht, ship, flexible packaging decoration, automobile interior decoration, public outdoor, sports goods, shoes, bags, clothing, medical equipment and other fields.
 
Advantages and disadvantages of silicone leather：
Advantages:
1, safe and environmental protection, zero DOC emissions, green products;
2, silicone material aging resistance is excellent, can use 5-10 years will not peeling chip, will not deteriorate;
3, transparent raw gum, gum stable performance, ensure bright color, excellent color fastness;
4. Soft, smooth, delicate and elastic;
5, waterproof and pollution resistance, high and low temperature -50℃-250℃ will not deform;
6, the production process is simplified, low energy consumption, little environmental pollution.
 
Disadvantages:
1. Leather surface strength is slightly weaker than PU synthetic leather;
2. The price of raw materials is slightly expensive.

 

Compared with the traditional leather, silicone leather has more advantages in hydrolysis resistance, wear resistance, anti-fouling resistance, low VOC, no peculiar smell, environmental protection and other properties.
