Do You Know The Difference Between Pu Leather And Microfiber Leather?

In the luggage customization industry, microfiber leather and ordinary PU leather are the main raw materials that are commonly used. They are products of artificial leather at different development stages and different technical levels. Although there is a certain substitution effect between the two, the difference between the two is also relatively large.

The difference between microfiber leather and PU Leather:

1. The price difference between the two is large

The approximate price range of ordinary PU leather on the market is 10-30 yuan (yard), while the price range of general microfiber leather is 30-150 yuan (yard), so the price of microfiber is several times that of ordinary PU leather.

2. Superior performance of microfiber leather

Microfiber leather is made of a layer of high-performance PU (polyurethane resin) and microfiber base cloth. Its structure is closest to genuine leather. It belongs to the third generation of artificial leather. It has stronger wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, hydrolysis resistance, moisture absorption, comfort, etc. than ordinary PU leather, and it will also have stronger color fastness and texture. In addition, microfiber synthetic leather surpasses natural leather in chemical resistance, quality balance, adaptability to large-scale production and processing, as well as waterproof and mildew-proof properties.

3. Different base fabric materials

Ordinary PU is made of knitted fabric, woven fabric or non-woven fabric as the base fabric, and then coated with polyurethane resin. Microfiber leather is made of microfiber non-woven fabric with a three-dimensional structure as the base fabric, coated with high-performance polyurethane resin. The different materials, processes and technical levels of the base fabric have a decisive influence on the performance of microfiber leather. The non-woven fabric of the three-dimensional structure network of microfiber leather has created conditions for synthetic leather to surpass natural leather in terms of base material. This product combines the newly developed PU slurry impregnation with an open-pore structure and the processing technology of the composite surface layer, giving play to the huge surface area and strong water absorption of microfibers, so that the ultra-fine PU synthetic leather has the inherent moisture absorption characteristics of natural leather with bundled ultra-fine collagen fibers. Therefore, whether in terms of internal microstructure, appearance texture, physical properties and people's wearing comfort, it can be comparable to high-grade natural leather.

Practice has proved that the excellent properties of synthetic leather cannot be replaced by natural leather. From the analysis of domestic and foreign markets, synthetic leather has also replaced a large number of natural leather resources. The use of artificial leather and synthetic leather to make bags, clothing and other items or decorations has been increasingly recognized by the market. Its wide range of applications, large quantity and variety are beyond the reach of traditional natural leather. And microfiber is the leader among them. Return to Sohu, view more
