Why solvent-free leather is environmentally friendly?
2024
Solvent-free leather is considered environmentally friendly because its production process and final product reflect the importance of environmental protection, the following are the three main reasons.
1, Reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions: traditional leather production process often use organic solvents, such as dimethylformamide (DMF), these solvents in the production process will volatilize harmful VOCs, causing pollution to the environment. Solvent-free leather avoids the use of these solvents, thereby significantly reducing VOC emissions.
2, Reduce environmental pollution and human health risks: Organic solvents not only pose a threat to the environment, long-term exposure to these chemicals may also cause harm to the health of people in the production and use process. The production of solvent-free leather effectively avoids these health risks.
3, At the same time, solvent-free leather has excellent physical properties such as wear resistance and aging resistance, which means longer service life and reduced waste generation.
