Which Is Better, Pu Leather Or Pvc Leather?

‌PU leather and PVC leather each have their own advantages. Choosing which one is better depends mainly on the specific application scenario and personal needs.

PU leather, also known as polyurethane leather, has a texture similar to genuine leather and has the following advantages:

It has a soft texture, feels close to natural leather, and feels comfortable.

It has good breathability and is suitable for close-fitting shoes and clothing, and will not feel stuffy in summer.

It has strong wear resistance, folding resistance, and tear resistance, and has a long service life.

It is more environmentally friendly, and the production process is relatively environmentally friendly and does not release toxic gases.

However, the price of PU leather is relatively high, and its water resistance is slightly inferior to PVC, and it may be damaged by long-term moisture.

PVC leather, also known as polyvinyl chloride leather, has the following main features:

It has a high hardness, but the softness can be adjusted through processing, and the surface is smooth and wear-resistant.

It has excellent waterproof performance and is suitable for making outdoor furniture or products that require water resistance.

It is relatively low in price and suitable for users with limited budgets.

However, PVC leather has poor air permeability, and long-term contact with the skin may cause stuffiness, and it is not as soft and comfortable as PU. In addition, PVC is relatively environmentally friendly and may produce harmful substances during the production process.

In summary, if you pursue a soft feel, good air permeability and strong durability, and have a sufficient budget, PU leather is a better choice; if you pay more attention to waterproof performance and affordable price, PVC leather is more suitable. When choosing, you should weigh it according to the specific application scenario and personal needs.
