Since the development of the automobile industry for more than 100 years, it has been more "routine" in the creation of a sense of luxury. Leather material is one of the common methods used to create a sense of luxury. However, with the popularity of environmental protection and animal protection awareness, the industry is also Looking for materials and processes to replace genuine leather. As a representative of luxury new energy vehicles, HiPhi gave his own answer and brought a new organic silicon leather material-LUXSENSE. Let's take a look at how it can replace real leather and what advantages it has compared to real leather.
Not real leather, but it feels better than real leather
Many people should know that Dow Chemical is known for its research on various materials. It can be called the supply chain of the upstream supply chain. This time HiPhi and Dow Chemical have cooperated to develop this new silicone leather material called LUXSENSE. An innovative silicon-containing organic compound may break your knowledge of leather materials in the past few decades.
In the past automobile era, people were obsessed with fabric craftsmanship such as "Italian calfskin" and "Nappa leather", but now with the awakening of people's ideas and consciousness, leather seems to have a bit of "original sin". So can LUXSENSE silicone leather replace real leather? My answer is-totally possible. Through the actual touch on the spot, the touch of this kind of silicone leather is not bad compared to real leather. If you are not in the industry, you may mistakenly think that this is the Nappa leather commonly used by luxury brands. The touch feels very delicate and very skin-friendly. . And in terms of ingredients, it is not as "greasy" as genuine leather, on the contrary, it looks "cool" because of the empowerment of technology.
Good news for people who prefer light-colored interiors, excellent decontamination ability
White or light-colored interiors often appear in advertising videos, but very few people choose white interiors in their lives. After all, a car has to accompany users for three to five years. In the past, white leather had not good stain resistance. It is very inconvenient to take care of, and it will inevitably turn yellow after a long time, which is more old than the dark interior.
After the birth of LUXSENSE silicone leather, you can choose white upholstery with confidence and boldness. It has better hydrophobicity to liquids. Liquids that are difficult to clean, such as juice and coffee, are accidentally spilled on the seat. You can easily use cloth or paper towels. Wipe clean. In addition, many people will encounter the problem of white seats being dyed by jeans. LUXSENSE silicone leather can avoid this situation well and keep it as white as new during a long period of use.
Give full play to the advantages of silicone, with anti-wrinkle, wear-resistant, flame-retardant properties...
Silicone has long-lasting elasticity, toughness and adaptability, so LUXSENSE silicone leather has excellent anti-wrinkle ability, even after vigorous kneading, it can still be well restored. In addition, its abrasion resistance is also in place. During the development, this material has to undergo more than 50,000 simulated on-and-off durability experiments to achieve abrasion resistance equivalent to leather.
Silicone has the ability to resist the sun's ultraviolet rays, so LUXSENSE silicone leather is more resistant to sunlight than ordinary leather, and can effectively slow down the aging of the interior. Not only is it not afraid of the sun, it has excellent flame retardant properties even in the face of open flames. In daily life, one of the major uses of silicone is to produce flame retardants, so LUXSENSE silicone leather is not sensitive to flames. The flame retardancy can greatly improve the safety of the vehicle.
In addition to the sense of sight and touch, the definition of luxury also includes the sense of smell. LUXSENSE silicone leather also has a positive effect on the air quality in the car. No chemical solvents such as plasticizers, DMF (dimethylformamide), benzene, toluene, etc. are added in the production process and finished product pollutants, which can effectively reduce the emission of harmful volatile organic compounds such as VOC.
