Pu Leather And Maintenance
When PU leather is matched, the second layer of cowhide is generally used on the reverse side, and then a layer of PU resin is coated on the surface, so it is also called film cowhide. It is relatively cheap and has a high utilization rate. With the change of technology, it is also made into various grades. For example, imported second-layer cowhide is currently a high-end leather due to its unique technology, stable quality, and novel varieties. The price and grade are no less than the first layer of genuine leather. Based on environmentalism, PU leather has the texture of genuine leather, is very strong and durable, and is inexpensive. Abroad, due to the influence of animal protection associations and the development of technology, the performance and application of PU synthetic leather exceed natural leather.
PU leather maintenance: PU leather shoes are best wiped with detergent + paper (do not use corrosive detergents).
"Patent leather" refers to a processing technology that has nothing to do with the material. It may be genuine leather or not.
Patent leather refers to a process of pouring paint on materials such as genuine leather or PU leather. Its characteristics are bright color, natural, waterproof, moisture-proof, not easy to deform/easy to clean and maintain. Since the process of patent leather is relatively complicated and the requirements are very high, the price of patent leather products sold in the market is also correspondingly higher. Now many unethical merchants in the market often sell bright leather as patent leather. In fact, there is a big difference between patent leather and bright leather. Bright leather is actually the leather material that is colored and then polished to make the product more beautiful. Although it also has a certain degree of moisture resistance, its feel is still not as good as patent leather, and the luster of patent leather material is very natural. PU is artificial leather, not real leather. Simply put, "PU is polyurethane, a kind of artificial leather". Secondly, PU is a man-made synthetic material with the texture of real leather, very strong and durable, and low price.
