How Should We Distinguish The Difference Between Microfiber Leather And Real Leather?

The difference between microfiber leather and leather will be revealed by the editor of Kemei Microfiber. Speaking of microfiber leather, let's talk about leather. Genuine leather is processed from the skin peeled from animals. It is also called natural leather. There are cowhide, crocodile skin, sheepskin and so on.

Then we come to look at the difference between the two from several aspects.

1. Appearance. Microfiber leather is the most leather-like in artificial leather. Its appearance is very close to real leather. However, after careful observation, you will find that the surface of the leather has clear pores and the textures on the skin are relatively natural, while the surface of the microfiber leather has no pores. , The lines are more regular. Even the texture of rough-worked microfiber leather may be close to the texture of plastic.

2. Weight. After looking at the microfiber leather, you can weigh it. The weight of the microfiber leather is lower than that of the leather, because the specific gravity of the leather is generally 0.6, and the specific gravity of the microfiber leather is less than or equal to 0.5, which means that the bag can be After the product is weighed, it is judged which material it is.

3. Smell. The dermis is animal skin, so it has a peculiar smell, even a bad smell. If excessive formaldehyde, heavy metals, etc. are added during processing, the dermis will have a pungent odor. The microfiber leather is artificial leather and has a lighter taste, but inferior microfiber leather may have a plastic smell.

4. Performance. Both microfiber leather and real leather have better performance. Perhaps microfiber leather is better in terms of wear resistance and aging resistance, while leather is better in terms of comfort and breathability. But the overall performance of the two can reach a certain balance.

5. Take materials. Leather is taken from animals, and its quantity, size, shape, etc. are restricted by animals, while microfiber leather is artificial leather, which is more convenient to obtain materials, more in quantity, and more stable in quality and performance.

6. Price. Under normal circumstances, the price of leather is higher than that of microfiber leather (referring to the first layer of leather), and the price of leather will fluctuate due to market supply and demand. However, some high-end ultra-fiber leathers abroad have high technological content and are more expensive than real leather, and are mostly used in high-end areas. When the average consumer needs leather goods, you might as well ask yourself, what kind of performance do you need most? If you pay more attention to breathability, you can choose leather, and if you pay more attention to abrasion resistance, you can choose microfiber leather. Of course, before choosing microfiber leather, everyone needs to know how to choose microfiber leather.
