1. Introduction: The LSR Leather Revolution
Traditional leather alternatives fail under stress. Our Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) technology redefines material performance through platinum-catalyzed cross-linking. Unlike semi-silicone hybrids, 100% LSR-based leather creates monolithic matrices without fabric backings – resulting in truly non-porous surfaces engineered at the molecular level.
2. Extreme Durability: The LSR Advantage
Our medical-grade LSR formulation delivers:
- Tear strength 5.8 kN/m (ASTM D624) – 300% higher than PU leather
- 200,000+ cycles on Martindale abrasion tests
- Permanent deformation <15% after 72h compression (ISO 1856)
Automotive OEMs validate: LSR seats retain integrity after 10-year simulated wear cycles.
3. Effortless Cleaning: Non-Porous LSR Surface
The secret? Our LSR’s seamless surface:
- Repels oils, inks, and biological contaminants
- Withstands hospital-grade disinfectants (including bleach solutions)
- Requires only wipe-clean maintenance
Case Study: Cruise line reduced upholstery cleaning time by 70% after switching to our LSR leather.
4. Eco-Conscious Manufacturing: Sustainable LSR Chemistry
Our LSR process eliminates:
- VOC emissions (REACH/EPA compliant)
- Plasticizers and heavy metals
- Solvents in production
Third-party verified: 62% lower carbon footprint vs. bovine leather (ISO 14067).
5. Weather/Chemical Resistance: LSR Molecular Strength
LSR’s inorganic backbone provides:
- UV stability: <5% ∆E color shift after 3,000h QUV exposure
- Salt spray resistance: 5,000+ hours @ 35°C (ASTM B117)
- Operational range: -40°C to 230°C
Critical for electric vehicle battery compartments and marine applications.
6. Design Freedom: Precision LSR Engineering
Our LSR injection molding capabilities enable:
- 0.1mm resolution grain replication (authentic leather textures)
- Custom Pantone® color matching
- Integrated antimicrobial additives (ISO 22196 certified)
Designers achieve bespoke aesthetics without performance trade-offs.
