The world of synthetic leathers is witnessing a significant shift with the emergence of solvent free artificial leather, especially in the furniture industry.
Today, we’re exploring this innovative material, increasingly popular for use in sofas, chairs, and other home furnishings.
The move towards solvent-free options reflects a growing concern for environmental sustainability and consumer health.
Solvent-Free Synthetic Leather for Sofas
Solvent-free artificial leather, a remarkable innovation in the upholstery sector, offers an eco-friendlier alternative to traditional synthetic leathers.
Two main types dominate the market: pure solvent-free and solvent-free with semi-silicone. We’ll delve into the characteristics and benefits of each, highlighting their suitability for sofas and other furniture pieces.
Types and Textures
Solvent-free synthetic leather is available in two primary varieties: pure solvent-free and semi-silicone enhanced.
The semi-silicone variant, characterized by a smooth, pleasing touch, is particularly popular. We’ll showcase these types, focusing on the top-layer products that blend cow suede with semi-silicone for an optimal finish in below video.
Customizable Base Fabrics
This material offers the flexibility of three base fabric options: cotton velvet-like, wool velvet-like, and cow suede.
The market currently favors the cotton and wool velvet-like options for their cost-effectiveness and appealing price point.
We will present a range of furniture-appropriate designs including sofas, soft furnishings, chairs, and beds.
Colors and Textures
Our range of solvent-free synthetic leathers comes in various colors, including trendy blue-grey and classic white bases.
Popular textures like lychee and real leather patterns are available, with a focus on achieving a comfortable tactile experience.
The semi-silicone variants boast an especially smooth feel, while the pure solvent-free options offer a slightly more textured surface.
Product Specifications
The thickness of these products varies depending on the base fabric: cotton velvet-like at around 1.1mm, wool velvet-like at 1.3mm, and cow suede at 1.4mm, all with a standard width of 138cm.
These specifications cater to a broad range of furniture applications, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.
