After experiencing the global COVID-19 pandemic, more and more people have realized the importance of health, and consumers' awareness of health and environmental protection has been further improved. Especially when buying a car, consumers tend to prefer healthy, environmentally friendly, and comfortable environmentally friendly leather seats, which also has a positive impact on the related industries that produce car seats.
Therefore, many car brands have been looking for a substitute for genuine leather, hoping that a new material can combine the comfort and elegance of genuine leather while avoiding the troubles that genuine leather brings to car owners, bringing a better comfort and experience to the driving experience.
In recent years, with the continuous breakthroughs in material research and development, many new environmentally friendly materials have emerged. Among them, the new BPU solvent-free leather has excellent material properties and environmental characteristics, and can be used to create new polyurethane environmentally friendly car seats.
BPU solvent-free leather is a new type of environmentally friendly leather material composed of a polyurethane adhesive layer and a base fabric or leather layer. It does not add any adhesives and has multiple properties, such as high strength, low density, environmental protection, durability and weather resistance. It is suitable for the current development trend of car seats. Therefore, it has gradually become the preferred material for car seats in the automotive industry.
Application of BPU solvent-free leather in car seats
01. Reduce the weight of car seats
As a new type of composite material, BPU solvent-free leather can produce sustainable and lightweight body parts. This leather fabric improves the impact of industrial-grade high-performance composite materials on the ecological environment during manufacturing, use and processing, and also achieves weight reduction of the entire vehicle.
02. Increase the service life of the seat
BPU solvent-free leather has a high folding strength. In an environment with a temperature of +23℃ to -10℃, it can be folded 100,000 times in the warp and weft directions without cracking, which effectively increases the service life of the seat. In addition to folding strength, BPU solvent-free leather also has excellent wear resistance. The finished product can rotate more than 2,000 times at a speed of 60 rpm under a load of 1,000g without obvious changes, and the coefficient is as high as level 4.
03. Reduce the degree of damage to seats at high temperatures
BPU solvent-free leather has excellent weather resistance. When the finished product is exposed to +80℃ to -40℃, the material does not shrink or crack, and the feel remains soft. Under normal conditions, it can achieve high temperature resistance. Therefore, applying BPU solvent-free leather to car seats can effectively reduce the degree of damage to car seats under high temperature conditions.
It is worth mentioning that BPU solvent-free leather is made using a new process independently developed. The raw materials do not contain any toxic solvents. The BPU raw materials fit naturally with the substrate without the need to add any organic solvents. The finished product has low VOC emissions and is healthy and environmentally friendly.
Based on the exquisite appearance and comfortable texture given by BPU solvent-free leather, the car seats have a luxurious look and delicate touch, bringing a more pleasant driving experience to users.
