Is Silicone Leather Flame-Retardant?
As a new type of environmentally friendly material, silicone leather has many excellent properties, including flame retardancy. The flame retardant effect of this material is significantly higher than that of PU leather, mainly due to the raw materials used.
The silicone product is mainly composed of three elements, CSi, 0, and the combustion products are H0, Si0, C0, which are non-toxic and pollution-free (shown as white when burned by flames), and are flame-retardant. The vertical burning test result is V0 level.
It can be used in the leather field with fire-proof requirements with fire-proof base cloth. This advantage is mainly due to the selection of its raw materials, which enables silicone leather to show good flame retardancy when facing fire sources, effectively reducing the risk of accidental fires.
What is 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.
