Silicone Leather
What is Silicone Leather?
Silicone leather is a type of synthetic leather made primarily from silicone, a polymer known for its durability and environmental friendliness. This innovative material is designed as an alternative to traditional leather and other synthetic leathers like polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Silicone leather, a food-grade eco-friendly material, maintains its properties and softness at extreme temperatures (200°C to -40°C).
It’s durable, stain-resistant, colorfast, heat-resistant, and flame-retardant, withstanding frequent disinfection with 95% alcohol.
Odorless, formaldehyde-free, and mold-resistant, it outperforms real leather and other types in durability, requiring minimal after-sales service.
Widely used in eco-friendly food-grade products, pressure cooker seals, medical supplies, yacht interiors, and more, it’s ideal for sofas, beds, outdoor furniture, car interiors, cleanroom projects, children’s furniture, and sports goods
