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.
