MICOOSON supplies synthetic leather materials with different surface finishes and backing constructions, including the Silicon X Series with suede backing.
For material buyers evaluating synthetic leather, odour performance may be an important consideration, particularly when materials are intended for enclosed environments or products with specific customer requirements.
MICOOSON has third-party odour testing documentation for a submitted sample identified as Synthetic Silicone Leather with Suede Backing – Silicon X Series.
The tested sample was evaluated with reference to VDA 270:2022, and the laboratory report records a Pass conclusion against the customer's specified odour requirement.
VDA 270 is a test method used to evaluate the odour characteristics of materials under defined test conditions.
It is relevant to automotive material evaluation, including the assessment of materials that may be used in vehicle interior environments.
The test uses a sensory evaluation scale to describe perceived odour intensity.
VDA 270 odour testing should not be confused with laboratory testing that quantifies volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions or concentrations.
The test report identifies the following details:
Report Number: 304150997a 001
Report Date: December 15, 2025
Sample Name: Synthetic silicone Leather with suede backing – Silicon X Series
Material Number: M001
Material Description: Black coated textile
Test Method: VDA 270:2022
Test Specimen Variant: D
Test Condition: Condition 1
Testing Temperature: (23 ± 2)°C
Conditioning Time: (24 ± 1) hours
Testing Vessel: 1 L
Storage With Water: No
Customer's Requirement: Odour grade 1
Reported Test Result: Odour grade 1
Test Conclusion: Pass
The results apply to the submitted sample under the documented laboratory conditions.
They should not be interpreted as certification of every MICOOSON synthetic leather product.
The VDA 270 test report includes a six-level odour evaluation scheme.
The evaluation scale is described as follows:
Grade 1: Not perceptible
Grade 2: Perceptible, not disturbing
Grade 3: Clearly perceptible, but not disturbing
Grade 4: Disturbing
Grade 5: Strongly disturbing
Grade 6: Not acceptable
The Silicon X Series sample received a reported odour grade of 1 under the specified test conditions.
The report identifies grade 1 as not perceptible and records that the tested sample met the customer's grade 1 requirement.
This finding describes the laboratory assessment and does not guarantee that the material will remain completely odour-free under all storage, production or end-use conditions.
No. VDA 270 odour testing and VOC emissions testing are different types of material evaluation.
VDA 270 evaluates perceived odour characteristics under specific laboratory conditions.
VOC testing generally involves measuring selected volatile organic compounds or their emissions using an appropriate analytical method.
A favourable VDA 270 odour result does not establish that a material has zero VOC emissions.
Buyers requiring both odour evaluation and VOC emissions data should confirm which test methods and reports are available for their project.
The submitted material was described as synthetic silicone leather with suede backing.
According to the material information declared by the applicant, the sample composition was:
75% Polyester
5% PU
19.8% EPU
0.2% Silicone
The tested material was black and identified as a coated textile.
Customers should confirm the composition, backing structure, surface finish and product grade of the material they intend to purchase.
Odour characteristics can be relevant when selecting synthetic leather materials for particular products and environments.
For buyers, an odour test report can provide supporting information about how a specified material sample performed under defined testing conditions.
When evaluating synthetic leather materials, buyers should consider:
Material composition and coating structure
Backing material
Intended product application
Required odour test method
Odour grade requirements
Test temperature and conditioning period
Production batch consistency
Customer-specific testing requirements
Whether separate VOC emissions testing is required
Testing results should be reviewed together with the intended product specifications and applicable customer requirements.
MICOOSON offers synthetic leather materials for customers seeking particular surface finishes, constructions and performance characteristics.
The Silicon X Series test documentation relates to a submitted black coated textile with suede backing.
Customers interested in this material series can contact MICOOSON to discuss product specifications, sample availability and relevant technical documentation.
Test results should be verified against the specific product grade and material construction being purchased.
VDA 270 is a method for evaluating the odour characteristics of materials under specified test conditions using a sensory grading scale.
Yes. MICOOSON has third-party VDA 270:2022 odour testing documentation for a submitted Silicon X Series synthetic leather sample with suede backing.
The report records odour grade 1, described as not perceptible, for the tested material under the specified conditions.
Yes. The customer requirement and reported test result were both grade 1, and the report records a Pass conclusion.
The report specifies a testing temperature of (23 ± 2)°C and a conditioning time of (24 ± 1) hours.
No. An odour grade does not provide a quantitative VOC emissions result. Separate analytical testing is required to evaluate VOC concentrations or emissions.
The report describes grade 1 as not perceptible under the specified laboratory conditions. It does not establish zero odour under every possible condition.
No. It applies to the specific sample and testing conditions documented in the report.
Customers can contact MICOOSON to enquire about product specifications and available odour testing documentation, subject to applicable report-use restrictions.
MICOOSON also has separate Martindale abrasion resistance testing documentation for a submitted Silicon X Series synthetic leather material.
The abrasion report addresses resistance to specimen breakdown under ISO 12947-2:2016, while the VDA 270 report addresses odour performance.
These test results describe different material properties and should be evaluated independently.
