The essence of the new material

Eco-leather is a layer of polyurethane applied to a cotton cloth (fabric, knitted or non-woven). When applied to the substrate, no additives, plasticizers, need be used. Synthesis of polyurethane is much more complicated than polyvinyl chloride. That is why such an artificial material does not emit any polymers, which gave the material its "ecological" name.

Specifications

Eco-leather is a durable, soft material. After the application of the polyurethane coating, the cotton base stops significantly stretching, but withstands strong mechanical loads. After stretching, the material returns to its original state. For use in what regions is eco-leather suitable? Moscow, as is known, is a city whose air temperature drops to -30-35 degrees in winter, and in summer temperatures rise to +35. Can I use products made from eco-friendly leather in such conditions? It turns out that this material is quite resistant to temperature changes in the range from -20 to +50 (!). So go boldly to the store for new shoes or a fancy goods made from this practical material.

Eco-leather is a wear-resistant, durable material. The big plus of this artificial skin is its hypoallergenicity. This material is permeated with micropores, through which air passes, that is, it "breathes".

Modern manufacturers are happy to use such a skin for upholstering furniture, as well as for finishing car interiors, in the production of footwear and haberdashery. Eco-friendliness, presentable appearance allows to equate it with natural skin. However, the relatively low price allows buyers to purchase high-quality practical things for much less money.
