vehicles upholstery
The low carbonization of automobiles has become the mainstream trend of automobile technology development. At the same time, the demand for antifouling of automotive seats has been very strong. How to ensure the safety of the interior space and the physical and mental health of the driver and passengers and the antifouling technology of automotive seat leather that protects the seat surface has become a hot topic of concern for consumers. The emergence of silicone leather allows people to have more expectations for the possibilities of future vehicles upholstery.
Usually, Automotive uses PU and PVC materials, which also have good waterproof properties. However, silicone leather has environmentally friendly and tough material properties and is lighter and more resistant to dirt. The key point is that it is completely environmentally friendly and harmless to the human body. We work with the automotive product development manager, product designer, and product manager together to design and make the custom silicone skin to fit their product’s needs.
For vehicles upholstery
When silicone leather is applied to vehicle upholstery and car interiors, even if it is accidentally stained with cola, milk tea, snacks, oil, etc., it will not produce stains or penetrate the interior. The silicone coating has low surface tension, is hydrophobic and non-polar to repel water, and has strong pollution resistance.
Colored sugary pollution sources such as cola or milk tea will not be absorbed due to the basic waterproof properties of silicone materials but will gather into droplets and remain. Oily pollution sources such as snacks and oil stains can also be easily wiped clean.
The raw materials of silicone leather determine its durability, and it also has unique advantages in softness and durability. Compared with genuine leather, the material of silicone leather comes from nature and is very environmentally friendly. The use of silicone leather is a major trend in all walks of life in the future.
It is also used in car door handles, such as door trim, cockpit module or instrument panel, to the automotive interior, etc
Silicone Leather Performance Benefits in Automotive
1. Environmental protection: We all know that leather comes from animals and can only be used after chemical treatment. The combustion of PU will produce some harmful and irritating plastic gases, such as hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, ammonia and nitrogen-containing compounds (nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc.). Silicone leather is made of silicone raw materials for baby pacifiers, and no harmful gases are released during combustion.
2. Flame retardancy: As an indispensable tool in public life, people are particularly concerned about the safety of car interiors. Flame retardancy naturally becomes one of the points of concern. Whether it is genuine leather or PU, flame retardants need to be added to achieve flame-retardant effects. Silicone leather has natural flame retardant and self-extinguishing properties, which can ensure product safety and environmental protection. On the premise of using its own unique silicon-oxygen chemical bond, oxygen is further isolated to achieve a good flame retardant effect.
3. Sustainability: After using genuine leather, we all know that it cannot be recycled. Although PU can be recycled, it cannot achieve the recycling effect. Silicone is not only recyclable but also recyclable. This is of great significance to the sustainable development of society.
4. Zero VOC emission In the production process of leather and PU, using chemical agents makes the VOC emission relatively high. In contrast, silicone leather itself has environmental protection characteristics and can solve the VOC problem very well.
5. Skin-friendly touch: The comfortable and skin-friendly touch of genuine leather is one of the reasons why people generally choose it. However, due to the pursuit of environmental protection, people are also reluctant to seek better products to replace traditional leather. The skin-friendly, soft and smooth touch gives everyone a new choice and solves everyone’s entanglement in environmental protection and texture.

Silicone leather vs traditional leather
The silicone leather not contain DMF, phthalates, lead. The silicone leather can pass Reach, ROHS (Phthalate Free), EN-71-3 Free, Azo Dyes Free, Formaldehyde Free, DMFU&DFMA Free.
Artificial leathers such as polyurethane rubber (PU) synthetic leather and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) commonly found in the finished leather market are not resistant to aging, high temperature, easy to hydrolyze, easy to stain, and have a short lifespan. They will cause certain pollution to the environment during the manufacturing and use process.
