    what is silicone leather?

     

    1. The composition of EkoTina silicone fabric:

    EkoTina seamlessly blends the luxurious texture of leather with the exceptional performance of silicone. Its structure features a surface layer made entirely of 100% silicone, a middle laywith 100% silicone adhesive, and a variety of base fabrics, including polyester, spandex, and microfiber, providing a versatile foundation. 

                                         

    2. Introduction of silicone:

    Silicone is a versatile polymer material known for its energy efficiency, resource conservation, safety, reliability, and high performance. It plays a role in our daily lives, protecting electronic devices from moisture and dust, enhancing kitchen tools with heat resistance and easy cleaning, and offering high-performance, hypoallergenic solutions in medical applications.

     

    3. Silicone Characteristics:

    Temperature Resistance: Silicone products boast exceptional thermal stability due to their molecular structure, making them resistant to extreme temperatures, both high and low, and suitable for a wide range of applications.

    Weather Resistance: Silicone is highly durable in natural environments, resisting decomposition from ultraviolet light and ozone, which contributes to its long lifespan.

    Low Surface Tension: With stain-resistant and hydrophobic properties, silicone surfaces repel water and maintain cleanliness with ease.

    Non-Toxic and Odorless: Silicone is safe for use, being free from toxins and unpleasant odors, making it ideal for applications in healthcare, food, and everyday products.
