The Evo-CF product was initially developed exclusively with Audi AG for the TT
Roadster and utilises a chrome-free and heavy metal-free tannage to comply with the
latest requirements for specific brands in the automotive industry.
It features a super
lightweight, soft touch characteristic for specialised car components, especially gear
knobs, gear bags, door handles, etc. The strength of the kangaroo base material
allows ease of component manufacture, including those that are complicated in
design, resulting in final products that are world class in every aspect.
Its short-fibre
flesh side also assists with this. Different substance (thickness) leathers are available
to suit particular components, but generally range between 0.7 – 1.0mm.
The aqueous (hydro) finish
is based around a hybrid
system of high
performance polyurethane
and acrylic polymers.
However, the finishing
system of the leather still
allows the natural grain to
be seen and, more
importantly, felt.
At present the standard
product colour is matt
black, although we can
produce this leather in any
colour desired. Also special
effect coatings such as metallics, iridescents, etc are possible.
To complement this leather we can offer the Kool (IR reflectance technology) and
DurateK (high abrasion resistance) technologies. The respective technical data
sheets are listed on our website in the Technical section. Other technologies such as
MicrobloK (anti-microbial) and Konstant (PCM technology) could also be
considered.
It is exciting to see a “World First” in this raw material being used for high performance componentry outside of the usual athletic leather market.
