Microfiber Leather VS PVC Leather

PVC leather and microfiber leather (microfiber leather) are two different types of artificial leather that differ significantly in terms of material, performance and application.

Material Composition:

PVC leather: the main component is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), usually coated with PVC resin, plasticizers, stabilizers and other additives on the fabric, or coated with a layer of PVC film, and then processed through a certain process.
Microfiber leather: The full name is "microfiber reinforced PU leather", which is made of microfiber bundles and polyurethane through special processing. The base fabric is microfiber, not ordinary knitted or woven fabric.

Physical Properties:
PVC leather: It has the characteristics of high strength and easy processing, but it has poor oil resistance and high temperature resistance, and poor softness and hand feel at low temperature.
Microfiber leather: It has excellent tear resistance, stretch resistance, folding resistance, cold resistance, mildew resistance and other properties. Due to its very fine fibers, it is closer to natural leather in terms of microstructure and use properties, and has better mechanical properties.

Environmental friendliness:

PVC leather: Although it has some waterproof properties, it may have a certain impact on the environment and human health due to its chemical composition.

Microfiber leather: It is a new type of environmentally friendly synthetic leather, which has the advantages of non-toxic environmental protection, breathability and lightness.
