Molecular chain characteristics

Saturated linear hydrocarbon + long branched chain

Polar rigid chain (containing Cl atoms)

Hard Segments and Soft Segments Microphase Separation

Low temperature behavior mechanism

and maintains segment mobility at-70℃


Molecular chains freeze at low temperatures, and plasticizers 

migrate, fail and become embrittlement

At low temperatures, the hard segments form physical 

cross-linking points, limiting the movement of the soft segments

Comparative analysis:
PlumaLeather cold resistance: The cold resistance of POE is more than 50℃ higher than PVC (embrittlement temperature difference>50℃)
PlumaLeather bending resistance: The low-temperature flexibility is 2 to 3 times higher than that of PU (the modulus of-40℃ is only 1/3 of PU)

Comparative analysis:
Plumather: Hydrocarbon saturated hydrocarbons have stable structure and no polar groups decompose; low process temperature (130 - 160℃) and simple process (no solvent, no plasticizer) cut off the generation path of VOC from the source, making it an environmentally friendly solution to replace traditional synthetic leather in automotive interior, medical, home and other fields.

PVC: plasticizer precipitation, heat stabilizer residue, free monomer decomposition.
PU: Residual unreacted monomer, solvent decomposition.
