The Difference Between Pu Leather And Artificial Leather

Artificial leather is the earliest substitute invented for leather fabrics. It is made of PVC plus plasticizers and other additives calendered and compounded on cloth. Its advantages are low price, rich colors and various patterns, and its disadvantages are easy to harden and become brittle. PU synthetic leather is used to replace PVC artificial leather, and its price is higher than PVC artificial leather. In terms of chemical structure, it is closer to leather fabrics. It does not use plasticizers to achieve softness, so it will not harden or become brittle. At the same time, it has the advantages of rich colors and various patterns. The price is cheaper than leather fabrics, so it is popular with consumers.
There are two ways to distinguish leather fabrics from PVC artificial leather and PU synthetic leather: one is to distinguish them by the back of the fabric. The method is that the back of PVC artificial leather and PU leather is generally a cloth base (or knitted cloth base) and can be seen with the eye; the second is to distinguish them by burning and melting. The method is to take a small piece of fabric and put it on the fire. The leather fabric will not melt, while the PVC artificial leather and PU synthetic leather will melt.
The difference between PVC artificial leather and PU synthetic leather can be distinguished by soaking them in gasoline. The method is to put a small piece of fabric 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 PU synthetic leather, it will not become hard or brittle.
