The silicone leather in Commercial and Office interior design and Construction
1. What is Silicone Leather
Silicone leather is a new composite material which combines the characteristics of silica gel and leather. By combining silicone technology with leather material, it retains the natural texture and beauty of leather, while incorporating the durability and environmental protection characteristics of silicone.
The production process of silicone leather includes two main steps: leather treatment and silicone coating. First, the selection of high-quality leather as a substrate, after cleaning and softening treatment to improve its flexibility and comfort. Then, evenly spread a layer of silica gel on the surface of the leather, through a special process to form a tough protective film, enhance the durability of the leather, water resistance and anti-fouling properties.

6. What Should We Pay Attention to During Design and Construction
Control of construction temperature: As a kind of polymer material, silicone leather has certain requirements for temperature during construction. Generally speaking, the construction temperature range of silicone should be between 5 °C and 40 °C, and the temperature is too low or too high may affect the performance and effect of silicone leather. Therefore, during construction, we should ensure that the ambient temperature is within this range to ensure the best performance of silicone leather.
Keep the construction environment dry: High humidity may increase the curing time of silica gel and affect the construction effect. Therefore, before construction, ensure that the construction environment is dry to avoid the impact of high humidity on silicone leather.
Pay attention to cleanliness and dust prevention: Silicone leather has certain requirements for the cleanliness of the construction environment. Before construction, the construction area should be thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, paint, paraffin and other foreign bodies to ensure the adhesive effect and beauty of silicone leather. At the same time, due to the strong adsorption capacity of silica gel, the dust content of the workshop should be controlled during the construction process to avoid dust pollution of silica gel leather.
Follow the construction process specification: In the construction process, the operation should be carried out in strict accordance with the construction process specifications of silicone leather, including primer construction, self-leveling treatment, splicing joint treatment and other links to ensure the construction quality.
