Why more and more international brands choose microfiber leather
May 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. Because it has the most similar properties of natural leather, it has extremely excellent wear resistance, excellent cold resistance, breathability, and aging resistance, so it is praised and favored by big-name leather designers at home and abroad.
Natural leather is widely used in the production of daily necessities and industrial products due to its excellent natural characteristics. However, with the growth of the world's population, human demand for leather has doubled, and the limited amount of natural leather has long been unable to meet this demand. To solve this contradiction, scientists began to research and develop artificial leather and synthetic leather decades ago to make up for the shortcomings of natural leather. The historical process of more than 50 years of research is the process of artificial leather and synthetic leather challenging natural leather.
The superfine fiber polyurethane synthetic leather that appears in the domestic and international markets is the third generation of artificial leather. This product combines the newly developed PU slurry impregnation and composite surface processing technology with open pore structure, exerts the huge surface area of superfine fibers and strong water absorption, making the superfine PU synthetic leather possess bundled superfine The inherent hygroscopic properties of natural leather made of collagen fibers are comparable to 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. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the continuous enhancement of environmental protection awareness, microfiber artificial leather will become the leader of the artificial leather and synthetic leather industry with its excellent physical properties, outstanding ecological and environmental protection performance, relatively low cost, and multi-functional characteristics. Development mainstream.
