Silicone leather is a next-generation high-performance material engineered from silicone polymers, which are derived from natural silica (sand) through advanced processing and combined with organic compounds such as methyl groups to form stable silicon-oxygen (Si–O) structures.
This innovative material is bonded with high-quality fabric substrates, creating a durable, flexible, and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional synthetic leathers.
Unlike PU or PVC leather, silicone leather contains no plasticizers, solvents, or hazardous chemicals. It delivers outstanding resistance to stains, UV exposure, hydrolysis, and extreme temperatures, while maintaining long-term performance and color stability.
With zero solvent emissions and a skin-friendly, non-toxic composition, silicone leather is an ideal solution for demanding applications such as automotive interiors, medical environments, marine use, and premium furniture.
Solvent-free PU leather is an advanced synthetic material produced without harmful solvents such as DMF. It reduces environmental impact while maintaining a soft touch, flexibility, and durability similar to traditional PU leather.
