Automotive interior leather materials need to consider a number of factors when choosing, including its performance, environmental protection and the impact on human health. We can summarise the following points:
Performance requirements: automotive interior leather must have light resistance, moisture and heat resistance, colour fastness to friction, friction breakage resistance, flame retardant, tensile strength, tear strength and sewing strength and other characteristics. In addition, also need to have non-flammable, easy to clean, good heat dissipation, waterproof and breathable characteristics.
Environmental protection and health: with people’s attention to health and environmental protection concept of cognitive enhancement, new environmentally friendly materials such as silicone leather gradually get attention. This material is non-toxic and harmless, low VOC emissions, anti-fouling, anti-allergy and other advantages, and in line with national environmental standards.
High-grade feeling and comfort: leather interior is one of the important factors in judging whether a car is luxurious or not, its delicate touch and high-grade appearance makes many consumers very much like. For example, Napa leather is known for its soft and delicate touch and silky surface, and is often used in the interior of high-end cars.
Alternative materials: In addition to the traditional leather, the market has also appeared many synthetic leather materials, such as PVC leather, PU leather and microfibre leather. These materials are close to genuine leather in terms of wear resistance, colour fastness and environmental protection, but may be insufficient in breathability and touch.
Application: Automotive interior leather is widely used in seats, steering wheels, dashboard covering panels, door trims and other components for its durability and aesthetics.
The choice of automotive interior leather not only needs to meet the basic functional requirements, but also take into account the environmental protection and health standards, in order to meet the needs of modern consumers.
