Solio Soft is composed of 5% sunflower seed shells and 3% agar-agar. This is a flexible material with moderate tensile strength. Among its main characteristics are its interesting appearance, which allows some of its components to be recognized, and its rough texture, which allows it to be associated with materials such as vegetable leather.

The main difference is the presence of an aroma that indicates the use of sunflower seeds and the sweetness of agar agar.
Due to the elasticity of the material, it is a rough material with properties very similar to vegetable leather. Its visual texture shows traces of sunflower seed shell fibres.

It is a material that can be easily cut by hand and with a laser cutting machine. It is resistant to oil and moderate humidity, but not resistant to water. It is 100% biodegradable. It can be joined by sewing and hot-melt welding.
