Is Silicone Leather Waterproof
Silicone leather has a layer of silicone surface coating on its surface. Its surface is composed of a silicon-oxygen main chain. This unique chemical structure is very stable. It will not only not combine with substances other than silicon, but also will not react with them.
This material can make water droplets into beads, and water molecules cannot pass through the surface, and the water on the surface will not penetrate under the bottom fabric. This is because silicone leather has hydrophobicity and non-polarity that repels water. This property prevents water from penetrating into the material, thus keeping the material dry and clean.
In addition, silicone leather has low surface tension, which means that the contact angle formed by water or other liquids on its surface is large, making it difficult for liquids to wet the surface of the material, further enhancing its waterproof effect. Therefore, it is very resistant to hydrolysis and has good waterproof properties. It is widely used in various outdoor places.
waterproof performance
The waterproof performance of Z.S.R silicone leather is excellent. This is because silicone leather has the characteristics of organic silicone material. This waterproof property allows silicone leather to be restored to cleanliness by simply wiping it gently when it encounters water, which is very easy to clean and maintain. In addition, this characteristic of silicone leather also makes it have a wider application potential in some special environments, such as humid or outdoor environments.
ZSR silicone leather
Silicone leather can be divided into full silicone leather and semi-silicone leather. Full silicone leather means that the entire leather product is made of silicone material, while semi-silicone leather means that part of the material is silicone and the other part is other materials. This material is soft, durable, waterproof, and easy to clean and maintain.
Silicone leather has many excellent properties, such as wear and scratch resistance, natural anti-fouling and waterproof, yellowing resistance, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance. These properties make silicone leather recognized in the high-end market and widely used in various products. In addition, silicone leather has excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, which meets the standards of the medical field. Full silicone leather means that the entire leather product is made of silicone material, while semi-silicone leather means that part of the material is silicone and the other part is other materials.

Can it be used in rainy or snowy days
Silicone products, such as silicone waterproof rain shoe covers, are designed to cope with rainy and snowy environments, and are intended to protect shoes from getting wet, thereby avoiding dirtying the shoes or damaging the car paint. Products made of this material are particularly suitable for use on snowy days because they can effectively prevent snow and water from penetrating, keeping the shoes and car body dry, thereby playing a protective role.
In addition, silicone snow scrapers are also recommended for clearing snow from the car because it will not scratch the glass and car paint, ensuring that the vehicle surface is protected from damage while clearing snow. The common feature of these products is that they can provide protection in cold and wet conditions, ensuring that users can use them with peace of mind on snowy days.
