Advantages of artificial leather
Artificial leather, also known as synthetic leather or leatherette, is a general term for synthetic materials such as PVC and PU. It is made by processing various formulations of PVC and PU through foaming or coating on a textile or non-woven fabric base, and can be manufactured according to different requirements for strength, abrasion resistance, cold resistance, color, gloss, patterns, and designs.

Artificial leather, also known as synthetic leather or PVC leather, is a general term for synthetic materials such as PVC and PU. It is made from various formulations of PVC and PU, processed through foaming or coating on a textile or non-woven fabric base, and can be manufactured according to different requirements for strength, abrasion resistance, cold resistance, color, gloss, and pattern.
It features a wide variety of colors and patterns, good waterproof performance, neat edges, high utilization rate, and is relatively cheaper than genuine leather. However, the vast majority of artificial leather cannot achieve the feel and elasticity of genuine leather; its cross-section reveals tiny air bubbles, the fabric base or surface film, and dry artificial fibers.

However, the vast majority of artificial leather cannot achieve the feel and elasticity of genuine leather; its cross-section reveals tiny air bubbles, the fabric base or surface film, and dry artificial fibers. It has been a very popular type of material from early times to the present, widely used to make various leather products or parts of genuine leather materials. Its increasingly advanced manufacturing process is being widely adopted in the processing of split leather. Nowadays, artificial leather with characteristics very similar to genuine leather has been produced and marketed, with surface processes and fiber structures that nearly achieve the effect of genuine leather, and its price is comparable to that of domestic top-grain leather.

Comparison of the characteristics of PVC artificial leather and PU artificial leather
The first generation of synthetic leather products is PVC (PVC), which is inexpensive and has a certain texture similar to natural leather, but it has disadvantages such as poor weather resistance, a stiff feel, and poor softness. It is mainly used in low-end bags, shoes, and sports balls. The second generation of products is PU (polyurethane), which originated after the large-scale application of polyurethane materials in the 1940s. It has advantages such as a soft luster, a soft feel, a strong leather-like sensation, and good cold resistance, and is widely used in clothing, furniture, and mid-to-high-end footwear.

Introduction to the Advantages of PU Artificial Leather
The development of synthetic leather has basically gone through three stages. In the 1930s, PVC synthetic leather made from PVC polymer materials appeared, achieving practical industrial applications as a substitute for natural leather. This is the first generation of artificial leather. In the manufacturing process of PVC leather, plastic particles are first thermally melted and mixed into a paste, then evenly coated on a T/C knitted fabric base according to the specified thickness. It then enters the foaming furnace for foaming, giving it the softness needed to adapt to the production of various products with different requirements. Surface treatment (dyeing, embossing, polishing, matting, and brushing) is carried out simultaneously as it comes out of the furnace, mainly according to the specific product requirements.

Distinguish between synthetic leather and genuine leather products
Artificial leather products have already covered all aspects of life, including seats, sofas, leather shoes, bags... Artificial leather products can be said to be everywhere. However, many people are still unclear about the characteristics of artificial leather and the differences from genuine leather. Although the current trend is for artificial leather to further develop and genuine leather products to lose market share, it doesn't hurt to understand a bit more.
