Is the microfiber leather good?
Jul 05, 2021
The full name of microfiber leather is "microfiber reinforced PU leather", and the microfiber PU synthetic leather represents the development direction of artificial leather. Due to the most similar properties of natural leather, excellent abrasion resistance, excellent drought resistance, breathability, and aging resistance, it is respected and paid attention to by major leather goods designers at home and abroad.
The industrial production of artificial leather has a history of several decades. With the continuous application of various new materials, its products are constantly updated. Leather base fabrics range from woven fabrics to today's non-woven fabrics. The resins used range from polyvinyl chloride, acrylic resins to polyurethane (PU), and the fibers range from ordinary chemical fibers to differentiated fibers such as lotus root fibers and ultrafine fibers. In terms of product style, artificial leather has experienced a development process from low-end to high-end, from profiling to simulation, and its characteristics even break natural leather.
Microfiber preparation of leather is developed on the basis of a full analysis of natural leather. Microfiber synthetic leather is made of bundled microfiber and polyurethane through a similar process. It is made of nylon superfine fibers with similar structure and properties to the bundled collagen fibers in natural leather, made into a non-woven fabric with a three-dimensional network structure, and then filled with polyurethane with excellent performance and open microporous structure after post-processing. to make.
The advantages of superfine fiber synthetic leather are: high breaking strength, high shear strength, good folding resistance, good cold resistance, better mildew resistance, thick and sweet finished products, good simulation, and low VOC (volatile organic compound) content Wait. The surface is easy to clean, and the organizational structure is similar to that of natural leather; but it does not have shortcomings: microfiber synthetic leather belongs to scientific and technological products, concentrated in the production of strong domestic and foreign production enterprises, and has a certain monopoly, resulting in The product price is high.
