Protein Leather
Protein Leather ® is a coverstock designed for use in seating surfaces, as well as door trim, instrument panels, steering wheels, consoles and shift knobs. A comfortable feel combined with superior moisture absorption and release properties make Protein Leather ® the most non leather, leather-like product available to auto designers and materials engineers. The product will be offered as both a PVC and TPO cover stock.
“A growing number of drivers are demanding luxury interiors in their vehicles and Protein Leather ® provides automakers with a interior trim coverstock which provides a cost-effective soft-feel, comfortable driving environment. “Protein Leather ® is produced by the fusion of nature materials and science and we are excited about the opportunity to introduce it to automakers over the next several months. We expect significant interest.”
To make Protein Leather ®, naturally occurring organic materials are produced in a patented process and combined with special resins. Excellent moisture absorption and release properties dramatically reduce unpleasant clamminess, providing comfort and functionality close to those of natural materials. |
