Silicone leather is a new material that can replace traditional PVC and PU synthetic leather. It has excellent properties such as stain resistance, UV resistance, high and low temperature resistance, solvent resistance, and flame retardancy. It is mainly used in automotive interiors, medical equipment, furniture and other fields, and has broad market prospects.

Let's take a look at what silicone leather is.
Silicone leather is a new type of environmentally friendly leather, made of silicone as raw material. This new material is usually combined with microfibers, non-woven fabrics and other substrates, processed and prepared, and is suitable for a variety of industry applications. Silicone leather uses solvent-free technology to coat and bond silicone on various substrates to make leather, which belongs to the new material industry developed in the 21st century. The surface layer is coated with 100% silicone material, the middle layer is 100% silicone bonding material, and the bottom layer is polyester, spandex, pure cotton, microfiber and other base fabrics.Weather resistance (hydrolysis resistance, UV resistance, salt spray resistance), flame retardancy, high wear resistance, anti-fouling and easy to care for, waterproof, skin-friendly and non-irritating, mildew-proof and antibacterial, safe and environmentally friendly, etc. Mainly used in wall interiors, car seats and car interiors, child safety seats, shoes, bags and fashion accessories, medical, sanitation, ships and yachts and other public transportation places, outdoor equipment, etc.

The difference between silicone leather and several traditional types of leather:
Genuine leather: There is no harmful gas when it burns, but a large amount of aniline dyes, chromium salts and other chemical reagents are used in the processing of genuine leather. During the combustion process, nitrogen compounds (nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide), sulfur dioxide and other harmful and irritating gases will be released, and the leather is prone to cracking.
PU leather: Combustion will produce some harmful and irritating plastic odors such as hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, nitrogen compounds (nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc.).
PVC leather: The combustion process will produce dioxins and hydrogen chloride just like the production process. Dioxins and hydrogen chloride are highly toxic substances that may cause cancer and other diseases, and will produce a strong irritating plastic smell (the main odor comes from solvents, finishing agents, fatliquors, plasticizers and mildew inhibitors, etc.).
Silicone leather: No harmful gases are released, and the combustion process is refreshing and odorless.

In summary, we have reason to believe that silicone leather will play a greater role after it is launched on a large scale in the future!
