Is Silicone Leather Weather-Resistant
Z．S．R Silicone leather has excellent weather resistance and can used in various harsh environmental conditions:
Resistant to high and low temperatures
The range of high and low-temperature resistance of silicone leather is -50℃ to 250℃. This feature allows silicone leather to maintain good elasticity in various environments. So, silicone leather-made products can used in snow and very cold areas and high temperatures like deserts. It also can used in the manufacturing process to stand the high temperatures of 250℃.
hydrolysis resistance
After more than ten weeks of testing, under the conditions of temperature 70±2℃ and humidity 95±5%, the surface of silicone leather did not show degradation phenomena such as stickiness, shiny, and brittleness. Then, the silicone leather made products can use in wet area, rainy and snow days.
resistant to illumination
Silicone leather is resistant to ultraviolet rays and excellent in resisting fading caused by sunlight. Even after ten years of exposure, it can maintain color stability and not change color. These properties enable silicone leather to maintain its performance and appearance in various environments without the need for frequent maintenance and upkeep. All the products need long-term sun exposure can use the silicone leather to making.
salt spray resistance
the performance retention rate of the silicone leather after 1000 hours of salt spray aging is more than 95%: the performance retention rate after 1000 hours of wet heat aging is more than 90%. All the products near the ocean, have to stand the salt spray. So, the seat and Furniture used in the beach and boats can use the silicone leather
