Microfiber leather industry: from materials to technology all need innovation

In fact, the microfiber leather industry has stagnated for a period of time. The reason is many face to face. It cannot be said that the solution of the reasons alone can achieve great development. However, in summary, if the industry wants to achieve breakthrough development, it still needs to rely on the innovation of core technology. So, how should it be implemented specifically? Let's introduce this problem.

From raw materials to technology, a series of innovations are required. At present, the upstream raw materials are polyurethane slurry, nylon chips, etc., and the downstream is mainly used in the fields of shoemaking and furniture. In the cost of microfiber leather, nylon chips account for about 20%, polyurethane about 40%, and direct raw materials account for about 70% of the cost of microfiber leather; the downstream microfiber leather is mainly used for shoemaking, furniture, luggage, etc. These three fields are respectively It accounts for 45%, 22%, and 8% of the consumption of microfiber leather. In addition, the automotive and medical fields have high requirements for microfiber leather, and the demand is growing rapidly.

With the improvement of people's living standards and the growth of demand, newer and higher requirements have been put forward for the performance of microfiber products. The renewal or upgrading of existing products is mainly based on the different needs of the market to continuously improve the performance of the microfiber, increase the variety, and give it one or more necessary functions, making it closer to the performance of natural leather or in some cases. It is better than natural leather.
