| Wear resistance (unit: revolutions) | High temperature resistance (°C) | Cold resistance (minus °C) | Flex resistance (ten thousand cycles) | VOC volatility (mg) | |
| Organosilicones | 1000 | 240 | 40 | 20 | 0.1 |
| Genuine leather | 320 | 180 | 20 | 20 | 3 |
| PU | 500 | 120 | 30 | 8 | 10 |
| PVC | 500 | 110 | 10 | 10 | 6 |
Note: The data in this table is for reference only; data are sourced from laboratories.
Test Instructions:
1. Wear resistance testing uses Taber and H18 grinding wheels.
2. Flex resistance uses the Bally flex method, crack-free at 200,000 cycles at room temperature, and crack-free at minus 100,000 cycles at minus 10,000 times.
