What Material is Synthetic Leather?
Synthetic leather is a plastic product that simulates the composition and structure of natural leather and can be used as its substitute material. Usually, the impregnated non-woven fabric is used as the mesh layer and the microporous polyurethane layer is used as the granular surface layer. The front and back sides are very similar to leather, and have a certain degree of air permeability, which is closer to natural leather than ordinary artificial leather.
The emergence of superfine fiber PU synthetic leather is the third generation of artificial leather. The non-woven fabric of its three-dimensional structure network creates conditions for synthetic leather to catch up with natural leather in terms of base material. This product combines the newly developed PU slurry impregnation and composite surface layer processing technology with open pore structure, exerts the huge surface area of superfine fibers and strong water absorption, making the superfine PU synthetic leather have a bundled superfine The inherent hygroscopic properties of collagen fiber natural leather can be compared with high-grade natural leather in terms of internal microstructure, appearance, texture and physical properties, and people's wearing comfort. In addition, microfiber synthetic leather surpasses natural leather in terms of chemical resistance, quality uniformity, large-scale production and processing adaptability, and waterproof and mildew resistance.
Practice has proved that the excellent properties of synthetic leather cannot be replaced by natural leather. According to the analysis of domestic and foreign markets, synthetic leather has largely replaced natural leather with insufficient resources. The use of artificial leather and synthetic leather for the decoration of bags, clothing, shoes, vehicles and furniture has been increasingly recognized by the market. Its wide range of applications, large quantities, and many varieties cannot be satisfied by traditional natural leather.
