Permair®

Permair® is used to improve the performance of conventional leather. The permair® membrane is laminated to split leather so that it emulates the epidural layer of grain leather in terms of look and feel.

Permair® leather proves ideal for a wide variety of footwear types and market segments including children’s’ footwear, safety footwear, formal footwear, sports footwear, and leather belts, bags and goods.

Permair® Leather Compared to Conventional Leathers

The SEM photographs below show how permair® is an improvement on conventional leather and other alternatives. The laminated microporous top layer emulates the epidermal layer of grain leather, maintaining its natural breathability and providing the added benefits of increased durability, waterproofness and easy care.

While solid top layers prevents breathability, and therefore, reduces wearer comfort.
