The shortcomings of traditional PVC and PU artificial leather in production technology and environmental performance have become increasingly prominent. A new type of eco-friendly leather—silicone leather, made from silicon-based polymers—is rapidly emerging in home furniture, automotive interiors, medical and health fields with its outstanding performance. As a core component of this new material system, the R&D and application of silicone leather adhesives have become a key driver of the industry’s green transformation.
From Silicon Element to High-End Leather
The production of silicone leather is based on the hydrosilylation reaction, which requires no solvents throughout the process, completely eliminating VOC emissions commonly found in traditional synthetic leather production. It is a typical green chemical process. We have developed a series of silicone leather adhesives for different structural layers, each with its own focus:
HSMT-12XXX Silicone Synthetic Leather Matte Oil (Top Coat): Acts as the leather’s "protective coat", scratch-resistant and stain-resistant, with adjustable gloss when paired with bright oil.
BQ-1086-8XXX Handfeel Adhesive (Surface Layer): Determines the touch and appearance of the leather. It offers moderate hardness after curing, a smooth handfeel, and excellent wear resistance.
BQ-1082-5XXX Intermediate Layer: Focuses on wear resistance and tear resistance, featuring fast curing and high strength to provide solid middle-layer support.
BQ-1082-4XXX Bonding Layer: Connects the base fabric and functional layers, boasting high elongation and outstanding bonding strength to ensure firm adhesion between the coating and textile substrate.
Performance and Environmental Protection Go Hand in Hand
Supported by this product system, silicone leather outperforms traditional leather in many aspects:
Eco-friendly & Safe: Solvent-free production, finished products contain no heavy metals or other harmful substances.
Weather & Temperature Resistant: Remains soft and non-cracking even at low temperatures, with temperature resistance far exceeding traditional materials.
Excellent Physical Properties: High elongation, high tear strength, and reliable wear resistance.
Stain-Resistant & Self-Cleaning: Low surface energy prevents oil and water stains from adhering, making daily maintenance easy.
Against the backdrop of the "dual carbon" goals, green and sustainable development has become a major trend in the new material industry. Betely New Material has long focused on the R&D of eco-friendly silicone materials, adhering to green and environmental principles from raw material selection to production processes. We aim to provide solid and reliable products to support the silicone leather industry chain, and to show more people that new materials can be both high-performance and eco-friendly.
