Eco-friendly leather uses water-based polyurethane as its raw material and employs innovative technologies such as solvent-free processes and water-based dry lamination to give the leather surface superior physical properties and an excellent tactile feel. The product is widely used in furniture, bags, upholstery, custom-made doors, storage solutions, and other fields.
Pure water-based solvent-free leather boasts advantages such as zero DMF, zero formaldehyde, no odor, and excellent wear and scratch resistance. During the production process, TVOC emissions are far below national standards, ensuring the final product is environmentally friendly and harmless to users.
Traditional synthetic leather is primarily based on solvent-based polyurethane resins, and its production often utilizes solvents such as toluene, xylene, and dimethylformamide (DMF). The extensive use of organic solvents inevitably has negative impacts on the natural environment and home living spaces.
Traditional synthetic leather often contains harmful substances such as formaldehyde and DMF, posing a potential threat to human health.
Dongguan Quanshun Leather Co., Ltd., in collaboration with ITCS, the environmental testing organization designated by IKEA, has established a first-class product testing laboratory. Relying on this professional laboratory, we have achieved full-process quality control from raw materials to the final product, ensuring the high performance, high quality, and environmental friendliness of our eco-leather.
Our eco-leather uses high-performance polyurethane resin and undergoes a special processing technology. It achieves over 100,000 cycles in Valspar's abrasion resistance test and 50,000 cycles in a room temperature bending resistance test, meeting the standards of IKEA and many other well-known brands. In hydrolysis resistance tests, it can last for more than 10 years, far exceeding many domestic and international standards.
Compared to traditional synthetic leather, Quanshun water-based synthetic leather offers the following advantages:
Environmentally Friendly and Healthy: Water-based synthetic leather contains no organic solvents from raw materials to finished products, achieving ultra-low VOC emissions. It is free of heavy metals, and the production process does not release harmful gases.
High-Performance:Water-based synthetic leather also boasts abrasion and scratch resistance comparable to oil-based synthetic leather. In durability tests, Quanshun water-based leather's Martindale abrasion resistance reaches 200,000 cycles, Valspar's reaches 200,000 cycles, and its folding resistance exceeds 100,000 cycles. Meanwhile, Quanshun water-based synthetic leather boasts exceptional durability, certified by authoritative organizations to have a hydrolysis resistance of over ten years.
Superior Experience: Quanshun water-based synthetic leather utilizes a three-dimensional replication process, visually and tactilely closely resembling genuine leather. The surface is elastic, soft, and skin-friendly, offering exceptional comfort. Notably, Quanshun can also customize production to meet specific user needs, from color and texture requirements to product physical and chemical standards, customizing attributes such as easy cleaning, mildew and antibacterial properties, and flame retardancy.
Compliant with Global Regulations: Quanshun water-based synthetic leather meets increasingly stringent environmental regulations (such as the EU's REACH regulation and California's Prop 65 regulation) and green manufacturing standards.
No Residual Solvents: Quanshun water-based synthetic leather contains no toxic solvent residues, crucial for applications involving direct skin contact (furniture, automotive interiors, clothing, watch straps) or sensitive environments (hospitals, children's products).
No Odor: Quanshun water-based synthetic leather lacks the chemical odor commonly found in traditional new synthetic leathers. This is crucial for automotive interiors and home furnishings.
Superior Breathability: Waterborne polyurethane coatings form microporous structures more easily than some solvent-based systems. This results in better water vapor permeability (breathability), making Quanshun waterborne synthetic leather feel more comfortable and dry, closer to the characteristics of genuine leather.
Exceptional Softness and Feel: Quanshun waterborne synthetic leather typically exhibits a very natural, soft, and resilient drape and feel.
Good Adhesion: Due to the better penetration of waterborne emulsions, it exhibits excellent adhesion to fabric substrates such as knitted or woven substrates.
A Strong Sustainability Story: Enables brands to market their products as “eco-friendly,” “non-toxic,” “green,” and “responsibly produced.” This appeals to environmentally conscious consumers and B2B clients.
Future-Friendly: With increasingly stringent global regulations, transitioning to waterborne technology ensures the supply chain is protected from future solvent use bans or restrictions.
Obtain Green Certification: Easier to obtain OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Bluesign®, and Leather Working Group (LWG) Low Impact Material certifications.
Given the numerous advantages of water-based synthetic leather, it is the preferred choice for the following areas:
Automotive interiors: (seats, steering wheels, dashboards), where strict requirements for low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor are necessary.
Furniture and upholstery: Suitable for homes, offices, and healthcare facilities.
Fashion apparel: Footwear, bags, jackets, and accessories, where breathability and skin-friendliness are paramount.
Luggage and personal care items.
Consumer electronics casings.
