Solvent-free leather: the perfect combination of environmental protection and quality
2025
Nowadays, environmental awareness is increasing, and people's requirements for the environmental performance of various products are getting higher and higher. In the leather industry, solvent-free leather, as a new type of environmentally friendly material, is gradually receiving widespread attention and being applied to the automotive and furniture industries.
Solvent-free leather, as the name suggests, is leather that does not use any organic solvents during the production process. In the traditional leather production process, organic solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF) and butanone (MEK) are often added. These solvents not only pollute the environment, but also release harmful gases during use, which are harmful to human health. Solvent-free leather has completely changed this situation. It uses advanced production technology and does not use any harmful solvents in the composition of raw materials, polymerization reactions, and various processes of the production process, thus achieving true zero solvent emissions.
From an environmental protection perspective, solvent-free leather is of great significance. No waste gas or wastewater is generated during its production process, which effectively avoids pollution to the environment and meets the requirements of modern society for sustainable development. Moreover, since no organic solvents are used, solvent-free leather does not have the problem of releasing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can significantly improve indoor air quality and create a healthier and more comfortable living environment for people.
In terms of quality, solvent-free leather also performs well. It is resistant to hydrolysis, durable, and can maintain good performance even in a humid environment. At the same time, solvent-free leather has high peel strength, no folds, wear resistance, scratch resistance, soft and comfortable feel, and its various physical properties are higher than traditional leather products. Whether it is used in automotive interiors, furniture manufacturing or fashion apparel, solvent-free leather can meet people's needs with its excellent quality.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous improvement of people's environmental awareness, the application prospects of solvent-free leather are becoming more and more broad. More and more companies have begun to invest in the research and development and production of solvent-free leather, promoting the continuous development and improvement of this environmentally friendly material. I hope that in the future, the solvent-free leather produced by our company will be used in more fields, bringing more green and health to the lives of buyers.
