The Difference Between Pu Fabric, Genuine Leather And Pvc
Polyurethane fabric is a kind of imitation leather fabric synthesized from artificial materials. It has a genuine leather texture, is durable and inexpensive. Polyurethane is the English abbreviation of polyurethane, and its chemical Chinese name is polyurethane.
Polyurethane leather is the leather of polyurethane. It is currently widely used in the decoration of bags, clothing, shoes, cars, and furniture. It is increasingly recognized by the market. It has a wide range of applications, large quantities, and many varieties, and traditional natural leather does not meet the requirements. The quality of polyurethane leather varies. Good PU leather is more expensive than genuine leather, has a good shaping effect, and a bright surface.
Artificial leather is an early substitute for leather fabric. It is made of polyvinyl chloride, plasticizers and other additives calendered on cloth. Its advantages are low price, rich colors, and diverse patterns, and its disadvantages are easy hardening and brittleness. Use polyurethane synthetic leather instead of polyvinyl chloride artificial leather. Its price is higher than that of polyvinyl chloride artificial leather. From the chemical structure point of view, it is closer to leather fabric, does not require plasticizers to achieve soft performance, so it will not become hard and brittle, and it also has the advantages of rich colors, diverse patterns, and cheaper prices than leather fabrics, which is very popular among consumers.
The other is polyurethane leather, which usually has a second layer of leather on the back and is coated with polyurethane resin on the surface, so it is also called coated cowhide. It is cheap and has a high utilization rate. With the change of technology, it is also made into various grades, such as imported second-layer cowhide. Due to its good processability, stable quality and novel varieties, it is currently the best grade of leather, and its price and grade are not lower than the first layer of leather. Polyurethane leather and leather bags have their own characteristics. PU leather bags have beautiful appearance, are easy to carry, and are cheap, but are not wear-resistant and easy to break; leather is expensive and troublesome to carry, but durable.
There are two differences between leather fabric and PVC artificial leather and PU leather: Appearance: The texture of genuine leather is unique and non-repetitive. The texture on the surface of polyurethane fabric is repeated, and the second is to use the burning method to identify. The method is to take a small piece of cloth and put it on the fire. Leather will not melt, while polyvinyl chloride artificial leather and polyurethane artificial leather will melt.
The difference between polyvinyl chloride artificial leather and polyurethane synthetic leather can be distinguished by soaking in gasoline. The method is to take a small piece of cloth, put it in gasoline for half an hour, and then take it out. If it is PVC artificial leather, it will become hard and brittle. If it is polyurethane synthetic leather, it will not become hard and brittle.
