Material Introduction
WINIW, a specialist in automotive utility materials, introduces its Oil-Proof Faux Leather for Car Gear Shift Boots—a grease-resistant, durable material designed to withstand the oil and grime that car gear shift boots are exposed to. Gear shift boots are in constant contact with drivers’ hands, which often carry oil, grease, and hand lotion residues. Conventional faux leather boots absorb these contaminants easily, becoming stained, slippery, and smelly over time. For drivers, slippery gear shift boots reduce grip and control, while stained boots detract from the car’s interior appearance. For automotive manufacturers, gear shift boot materials need to balance oil resistance with flexibility and durability to ensure reliable performance and long-lasting aesthetics.
This oil-proof faux leather solves this problem with a proprietary hydrophobic coating that repels oil, grease, hand lotion, and other liquid contaminants. The coating creates an invisible barrier that prevents absorption, keeping the gear shift boot clean, dry, and non-slip for optimal grip. Unlike rigid oil-proof materials that crack when bent, it features a highly flexible construction that can withstand repeated gear shifting movements without tearing or creasing. The faux leather is also abrasion-resistant, withstanding friction from drivers’ hands and gear shift levers, and it is stain-resistant, repelling spills from drinks and food. It is odor-free, with no toxic off-gassing, and it is colorfast, retaining its rich hue even after prolonged use. The material is easy to cut and sew, and it is compatible with all gear shift boot manufacturing processes—including elastic band attachment, stitching, and custom fitting for manual and automatic gear shifts. Meeting global automotive interior standards, this oil-proof faux leather is the ideal choice for manufacturers producing durable, high-performance car gear shift boots.
