solvent-free leather
solvent-free leather include high environmental protection performance, soft and comfortable hand feeling, hydrolysis resistance, super durability, anti-wear and anti-scratch, skin-friendly skin feeling, etc., while the disadvantages include high cost and complex production process.
Solvent-free leather, also known as EPU or polyurethane synthetic leather, is a new type of environmentally friendly material. It does not add any low-boiling organic solvents during its production process, so it does not contain harmful substances such as heavy metals, formaldehyde, phosphobenzene, etc., and has High environmental performance. This material is not only safe and healthy, but also soft and delicate to the touch, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, resistant to high temperature and low temperature, and has a long service life. It can almost replace high-end leather materials. In addition, solvent-free leather also has the characteristics of flame retardant, anti-oxidation, anti-mildew and anti-bacterial, which further improves its performance and application range.
However, solvent-free leathers also present some disadvantages. First of all, due to its complex production process, the requirements for equipment and parts are extremely high, and the production cost is relatively high. Secondly, the application scene of solvent-free leather is relatively narrow, mainly suitable for high-end leather goods, footwear and automotive interiors and other products. These factors limit the wide application of solvent-free leather.
Although there are some shortcomings, the advantages of solvent-free leather make it have significant advantages in environmental protection and performance. Especially in the modern market that pursues green environmental protection and high-quality products, the application prospect of solvent-free leather is broad.
