Some of the answers to the most frequently asked questions related to leather fiber composites can be found here. If you cannot find an answer to some question, please contact us for a more detailed explanation and description of the product.

 

1. What is R-LEATHER?

The R-LEATHER is manufactured from high-quality, no longer used leather fibers. We used a completely unique process to create this high-performance, technologically advanced leather fiber composite.

 

2. Why is R-LEATHER specified instead of traditional leather?

Operating costs are our focus. We give you a better material than traditional leather that will look and feel better for a longer period of time. Not only does R-LEATHER have excellent durability, but it is also more hygienic than other materials, allowing you to save money in the future.

Depending on the specific application and usage, R-LEATHER typically lasts 4 to 5 times longer than conventional leather.

We look forward to meeting you and showing you wear tests, flight tests, customer feedback and more.

 

3. I am using fabric now, why should I switch to R-LEATHER?

The cost savings of R-LEATHER may not be as pronounced compared to similar materials such as thick mulch. However, this does not in any way affect its importance. It is important to note that seat covers require more frequent replacement and regular cleaning. Therefore, additional seat covers must be provided so that each aircraft or vehicle can still operate normally when the seat covers are removed for maintenance. A team was needed to manage the logistics of removing seat covers and provide full traceability of each item until it was reinstalled and put into service again. Even train operators who use fabric are often surprised when fabric costs are calculated.

 

4. How can I recognize R-LEATHER?

It is difficult to distinguish the R-LEATHER from the competition, especially when using it for the first time. But after prolonged use, the R-LEATHER's appearance will remain high quality, while other materials may show signs of wear.

 

5. How is R-LEATHER made?

The R-LEATHER is manufactured using a patented process that uses hydroentanglement technology to firmly bond leather fibres with a high-performance textile core.

 

6. How long can R-LEATHER be used?

Material life expectancy varies by use, material type and maintenance, but R-LEATHER has been in service with many operators in the transportation industry for over five years.

We use rigorous testing methods to demonstrate the clear durability benefits of our products. Both in-house and third-party testing have shown that R-LEATHER outperforms most other materials in terms of wear, while maintaining a high-quality finish that will last.

 

7. How to cut and sew the R-LEATHER?

Cut and stitch suppliers who use R-LEATHER are also experiencing the benefits of material consistency, which increases yield, reduces waste and reduces production time.

Consistent material can be cut in multiple layers and is lighter in weight, making it easier to handle and sew. Can reduce waste and reduce stitching time. If you are a seat manufacturer or need more information on this, please get in touch with our technical support team via the Contact Us page.

 

8. How big is a roll?

Coils are 1.4 m (approximately 4.0 ft) wide and typically at least 50 m (100 ft) long for easy handling. For custom matching colors, the minimum order quantity is 500 meters.

 

9. Can it be matched with traditional leather?

Yes, we can match most colours and grains to specific material samples or Pantone/RAL colour references.

 

10. How long does the color matching take?

Color matching work takes up to ten working days.

 

11. Can you provide me with some materials for making mockups and testing?

If you need R-LEATHER samples, please get in touch with us via the Contact Us page or Email: detailing your project application and potential order quantity.

 

12. Comparison of total cost of use

The purchase cost of the R-LEATHER is similar to that of most fabrics and traditional leathers. However, due to its high performance in terms of service life, minimum maintenance requirements, and durability, the total cost of ownership can be significantly lower.
