Liquid silicone rubber for leather
1. Product description
Leather liquid silicone rubber is a silicone rubber material specially designed and developed for leather processing and related applications. It exists in liquid form, has excellent fluidity, and can easily perform various processing operations. This silicone rubber is carefully formulated with high-quality silicone polymers, cross-linking agents and other special additives. After curing, it can bring unique performance improvements to leather products.

2. Main characteristics
(I) excellent flexibility
The leather liquid silicone rubber has excellent flexibility after curing, and can deform with the bending and stretching of the leather without cracking or peeling. This allows the treated leather products to maintain good appearance and performance during long-term use, greatly improving the durability of the leather products.
(II) good adhesion
The silicone rubber has strong adhesion to the leather surface, whether it is natural leather or synthetic leather, can be closely combined with it. This feature ensures that the silicone rubber forms a stable and uniform coating on the leather surface, effectively preventing the erosion of the leather by external factors.
(III) excellent weather resistance
It can resist the influence of harsh environmental conditions such as ultraviolet radiation, high temperature and humidity. In the long-term exposure to the sun or different climate environment, leather liquid silicone rubber can still maintain its performance, will not appear fading, aging, hardening and other problems, so as to extend the service life of leather products.
(IV) chemical stability
Good tolerance to a variety of chemicals, including common organic solvents, acid and alkali solutions. This allows the treated leather products to maintain their original performance and are not susceptible to corrosion or damage when exposed to some environments that may be chemically contaminated.
(V) breathability
Although a protective film is formed, the leather liquid silicone rubber still maintains a certain degree of breathability and will not affect the breathing performance of the leather itself. This is very important to maintain the comfort and texture of leather, especially when making leather products that are in direct contact with the human body, such as clothing and footwear.
3. Main applications
(I) leather surface protection
Widely used in all kinds of leather products, such as leather clothing, leather shoes, leather bags and other surface treatment. A protective film is formed on the surface of the leather to effectively prevent stains, water stains, wear and other damage to the leather, while giving leather products a better luster and texture.
(II) leather repair
It can be used to repair damaged leather and fill defects such as scratches and holes on the leather surface. Its good fluidity and adhesion allow it to fill the damaged area well, and blend perfectly with the surrounding leather after curing, restoring the appearance and performance of leather products.
(III) functional leather products
It also has important applications in the production of leather products that require special properties. For example, in the manufacture of waterproof, oil-proof, antibacterial and other functional leather products, by adding specific additives to the leather liquid silicone rubber, the leather can be given corresponding functions to meet the needs of different fields, such as outdoor equipment, medical supplies, etc.
4. Storage requirements
(I) temperature
Should be stored in a cool, dry environment, the ideal storage temperature range is 5 ℃ - 25 ℃. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperature or low temperature environment, high temperature may lead to early curing or performance changes of silicone rubber, low temperature may affect its fluidity and stability.
(II) humidity
Ambient humidity should be maintained between 40% - 60% relative humidity. Excessive humidity may cause the silicone rubber to absorb moisture, affecting its quality and use effect; too low humidity may cause the material to dry, affecting its fluidity and subsequent curing process.
(III) packing seal
The product must be kept in a well-sealed package during storage. Unused liquid silicone rubber should be sealed in time to prevent air from entering and causing changes in material properties. If the packaging is damaged or poorly sealed, it should be used as soon as possible or properly handled to avoid contamination or deterioration of the material.
(IV) protected from light
Direct sunlight should be avoided, because ultraviolet rays may affect the chemical structure of silicone rubber, resulting in performance degradation. It is best to store the product in a dark place, such as a dark place in a warehouse or use light-shielding packaging materials.
