November 27, 2025


It is very interesting to watch the lions or tigers catching the prey in the documentary of animal world, instead of hunting the lambs rabbits etc small weak animals aimlessly, they usually hide themselves in the dark for a long time, just sitting there and watching carefully, when the timing comes, they leap and hunt successfully at a very fast speed. After almost 10 years’ research and accumulation in the formula and technology, now Silicone Fabric Leather Goes into the Automotive Industry with the full comprehensive understanding, here I am writing this article to give a brief introduction of the silicone fabric leather being used in Automotive Industry. As a professional silicone fabric leather manufacturer, Timwell’s silicone fabric has been used in five applications in the Automotive Industry including the Car Seat, Car Interiors, Translucent Leather Car Interiors, Movie Screen and Car Mat. I am glad to introduce them one by one here.


Relative Article:What is Silicone Leather


Car Seat


In the automotive industry, genuine leather Nappa grain is always the most popular option, especially in the high-end luxurious car brands, genuine leather indeed makes the car look luxurious and money worthwhile, but as we know, this planet is so extensive and colorful, high-end, middle-end and low-end, we allow everybody live freely, in automotive industry, except for genuine leather, faux leather like PU leather and PVC leather are also widely used, after PU/PVC dominating the market almost one hundred year, now silicone fabric leather comes out, standing on the stage boldly. Speaking of Silicone Fabric Leather in automotive industry, there are two points really remarkable which are odorless and baby soft, silicone fabric leather has ultra-low VOC as lower as 0.263mg/m³, which is much lower than the limit 0.6mg/m³ in the relative air quality regulations. Silicone fabric leather can be very smooth like baby feel, when we touch it, it seems like we’re touching the baby’s skin, very soft, which gives the CAR SEAT a totally different feeling.

 

Car Interiors


Silicone fabric has been widely employed in the car interiors, in the Dashboard, Center Console, Armrest Box etc, here I would like to emphasize some inherent properties which silicone fabric has: strong color-fastness and high-low temperature resistance, Silicone Fabric Leather can withstand the temperature ranging from -40 to 250 celsius degree, it is so stable that it keeps the same after experiencing hot summer and extreme cold winter, meanwhile the color remains the same. Here I notice one detail, when I drive, sometimes I may eat something and leave food residues, but if it is made by our silicone fabric leather, then you will be astonished by the anti-stain ability, we just need a piece of rag and make it clean easily.

 

Translucent Leather Car Interiors


Timwell’s translucent leather has gained huge attention around the world, compared to conventional silicone fabric which is composed of 3 or 4 layers, Translucent Silicone Fabric Leather has at least 7 layers including the translucent layer and light blocking layer etc, Timwell’s translucent leather has been in bulk production and largely applicable in the car interiors, now let us imagine for a while, we open the car door, we start our car, then the full-of-technology images in the dashboard/center console/ panel etc come out to the stage, at night when we look up , stars come into our eyes, making us seem like in the nature. In general, the thickness of translucent leather ranges from 0.8 to 1.0mm, the images can be customizable according to different requests.

 

Movie Screen


To make the cars more homelike, some dominating car manufacturers bring movie screen into cars, Timwell’s silicone leather has become the best option, as the movie screen, it is made of three layers, one layer is white silicone , one layer is black silicone, the thickness is 0.5mm, Timwell’s movie screen is completely odorless, free from heavy metal, plasticizer etc. To better cooperate with the automotive companies, Timwell’s Movie Screen is 100% man-checked to make sure every piece customers receive is the perfect ones.
