Technology
Ecolorica Microfiber products Technology and Production
The raw material is dyed by tannery drums and during the dyeing process the grain of the material appears naturally on the ECOLORICA SPORTER-SOFT-CORNER-SAFE and SECURA thanks to a special rotation of the tannery drums and thanks to the moving of the material inside the drums with a special temperature of the water. So on these items the grain and the draft of the skin is not coated by paper release or embossed but the grain comes from this special structure and composition of the material.
Ecolorica Microfiber products, the production
After the dyeing process the material is dried by a special oven the material is buffed on the backside to eliminate the peeling effect that can appear after the dyeing process.

Ecolorica production steps
At the end the material is spray finished on the surface by the same spray finishing facility used for the natural leather.
After this process the material is thermofixed to fix the pigments and water base resin on the skin to improve the performarces in terms of resistance and abrasion.
The last steps to complete the production of the material are the quality checking with specific test for each production, the visual checking and the packaging of the material.
During all these production processes we use water base pigments and solution.
WHAT IS ECOLORICA MICROFIBER, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN...
Ecolorica Microfiber Material
Natural Leather
Coated Material Ecolor
Coagulated Material
Ecolorica's product structure
As you can see the structure of Ecolorica Material (by microscope in section) is very similar to natural leather in fact the raw material comes from a special coagulation between PU and PA and this allows to the material to be worked as the natural leather.
The structure of Coated material for example ECOLOR and the structure of Coagulated material are completely different respect the structure of Ecolorica Material, in fact in the structures of Coated material and Coagulated material the differences between the PU resin material of the skin and microfiber base is clear and tidy you can see very well by microscope picture that it is a coated or coagulated material, and for this reason these materials can’t be worked by the same production process of the natural leather in the contrary of Ecolorica Material where the structure of the material looks like natural leather and this allows us to follow the “same” production processes of the natural leather described before.
