Is Pu Leather Artificial Leather?

‌PU leather is a type of artificial leather‌.

In China, people are used to calling artificial leather produced with PU resin as raw material PU artificial leather (abbreviated as PU leather). PU leather, or polyurethane synthetic leather, is an artificial leather made of polyurethane resin and is one of the most widely used artificial leather materials on the market. It imitates the appearance and texture of natural leather, but has better wear resistance and waterproof properties than genuine leather, and is also more affordable‌.

In addition, the production process of PU leather involves coating polyurethane resin on a substrate, which is usually a textile or non-woven fabric. As a coating material, polyurethane has good elasticity, softness and durability. The production process of PU leather can be adjusted to achieve different surface effects, thereby imitating different types of natural leather, such as cowhide, sheepskin, etc.‌.

Therefore, PU leather does belong to the category of artificial leather.
