What is the difference between PU leather, microfiber leather ?

Essential difference:

1. The difference in price. The general price range of ordinary PU on the market now is 15-30 yuan (per meter), and the price of general microfiber leather is more than 50-150 yuan (per meter), so the price of microfiber is several times that of ordinary PU. .

Second, the performance of the surface layer is different. Although the surface layer of microfiber leather and ordinary PU is polyurethane resin, and the common PU that has been popular for many years will have more colors and styles than microfiber leather. But generally speaking, the polyurethane resin on the surface of the microfiber leather has stronger abrasion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and hydrolysis resistance than ordinary PU, as well as stronger color fastness and texture.

3. The base fabric material is different. Ordinary PU is made of knitted fabric, woven fabric or non-woven fabric as base fabric and coated with polyurethane resin. The microfiber leather is made of microfiber non-woven fabric with a three-dimensional structure as the base fabric and coated with high-performance polyurethane resin. The different materials, processes, and technical standards of the base fabric have a decisive influence on the performance of the microfiber leather.

Fourth, the performance is different. Superfiber leather is better than ordinary PU in terms of strength, abrasion resistance, moisture absorption, comfort and other more performance indicators. Generally speaking, it is more like leather, more durable, and feels better.

5. Market prospects. Due to the low technical threshold, severe overcapacity, and fierce competition in the ordinary PU market, products are reduced in labor and materials, which are incompatible with the increasingly upgraded consumption concept, and the market prospects are worrying. However, due to the high technical threshold and limited production capacity of microfiber leather, product performance is increasingly recognized by consumers, and the market has a large room for growth.

Concept difference:

       PU leather refers to ordinary PU leather. Polyurethane surface layer plus non-woven fabric or woven fabric has average performance and relatively low price.

       The microfiber leather is a superfine fiber PU synthetic leather. The high-performance polyurethane surface layer is attached to the superfine fiber base fabric. It has superior performance, especially abrasion and scratch resistance.

Microfiber leather and ordinary PU represent products at different development stages and technical levels of artificial synthetic leather, and therefore have a certain mutual substitution effect. I believe that with the recognition of more and more people, microfiber leather will be more widely used in all aspects of human life.
