Silicone leather is a new type of environmentally friendly leather, with silicone as the raw material, this new material is combined with microfiber, non-woven fabrics and other substrates, processed and prepared for a variety of industrial applications. Silicone leather using solvent-free technology, the silicone coating bonded to a variety of base cloth, made of leather. Belong to the 21st century development of new materials industry.
Silicone leather advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
1.safety and environmental protection, the production process and use are green products;
2.silicone material aging resistance is excellent, to ensure that the long-term will not deteriorate;
3.transparent original gum, gel performance stability, to ensure that the color is bright, color fastness is excellent;
4.Soft feel, smooth, delicate, elastic;
5.waterproof and anti-fouling, high and low temperature resistance;
6.Simplified production process.
Disadvantages:
1. Leather top layer strength is slightly weaker than PU synthetic leather;
2. raw material price is slightly expensive.
Silicone leather where is good?
Silicone leather and PU, PVC, leather difference:
Genuine leather: combustion itself is no harmful gases, but leather processing using a large number of aniline dyes, chromium salts and other chemical reagents, the combustion process will have the release of nitrogen compounds (nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide), sulfur dioxide and other harmful irritating gases, and leather is easy to crack.
PU leather: combustion will produce hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, nitrogen compounds (nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc.) and some other harmful irritating strong plastic odor.
PVC leather: combustion process and production process will produce dioxin, hydrogen chloride. Dioxin and hydrogen chloride is highly toxic substances, may lead to cancer and other diseases, will produce irritating strong plastic odor (the main odor from solvents, finishing agents, fatliquor, plasticizers and mildew agents, etc.).
Silicone leather: no harmful gas release, combustion process is refreshing without odor.
Therefore, compared with the traditional leather, silicone leather in hydrolysis resistance, low VOC, no odor, environmental protection and other performance has more advantages.
Organic silicon leather characteristics and application areas:
It has the advantages of breathability, hydrolysis resistance, weather resistance, environmental protection, flame retardant, easy to clean, abrasion resistance, zigzag resistance and so on. It can be used in the fields of furniture and home furniture, yacht and ship, soft package decoration, automobile interior, public outdoor, sports goods, shoes, bags and clothing, medical equipment and so on.
1. Fashion products: Silicone leather has soft touch and colorful color choices, so it is suitable for handbags, belts, gloves, wallets, watch bands, cell phone cases and other fashion products.
2. Home life: Silicone leather’s waterproof, dirt-proof and oil-proof performance makes it suitable for the manufacture of home life products, such as placemats, coasters, tablecloths, pillows, mattresses and so on.
3. medical equipment: silicone leather is non-toxic, odorless, not easy to produce dust and bacterial growth, so it is suitable for medical equipment accessories, gloves, protective pads and other manufacturing.
4. food packaging: silicone leather has corrosion-resistant, waterproof, anti-fouling and other characteristics, so it is suitable for food packaging bags, tableware bags and other manufacturing.
5. automobile accessories: silicone leather has wear-resistant, high temperature resistance and other characteristics, so it is suitable for the manufacture of automobile accessories, such as steering wheel cover, seat cushion, sunshade and so on.
6. sports and leisure: the softness and wear resistance of silicone leather make it suitable for the manufacture of sports and leisure goods, such as gloves, knee pads, sports shoes and so on.
In short, the application range of silicone leather is very wide, and its application areas will continue to expand in the future with the continuous innovation and development of technology.
