Defining
Artificial Leather

Artificial leather is very popular at the moment, particularly in the fields of interior design, furnishings and upholstery.

Silicone rubber can be used for producing artificial leather that very closely resembles the original in terms of its tactile properties, durability, tear strength and longevity. Its outstanding water-repellent properties give it a huge advantage over traditional artificial leather.

Silicone vs
PU and PVC leather

Silicone leather is a synthetic material made from silicone, a polymer known for its durability and eco-friendliness.

Unlike traditional leather or other synthetic alternatives like PU and PVC leather, silicone leather is free from animal products and certain harmful chemicals.

Leasither is composed of 100% silicone material on the surface layer, 100% silicone adhesive on the middle layer, and various base fabrics such as polyester, spandex, and microfiber as the basic fabric.

The manufacturing
process

We take a long term approach when considering our production of silicone leather and want to do our part to be environmentally friendly. With our non-solvent production technique and with the lack of PVC or PU elements, we are much safer and healthier than traditional fabrics.

We have passed the most common environmental standards so you can breathe comfortably knowing that you are using a fabric that's safe for you and the environment.
