Product

SJ INNOTECH has been researching 100% silicone leather since 2012.
Regular PVC/PU leathers have disadvantages such as being  environmentally harmful during production and being less durable, so we started R&D to improve these shortcomings. After years, thousands of tests, and numerous research grants, we finally found a solution! We introduce our premium silicone leather,

SiLINOL™ is an eco-friendly leather made of silicone, which has great features of soft touch, durability, light fastness, dirt-resistance, and flame-retardancy. SiLINOL™ is ideal for marine upholstery and other outdoor furniture fabrics that need to be UV-resistant and water-resistant.

SILINOL™ silicone leather has been meticulously tested to meet the highest safety environment standards.
