Abrasion Resistance And Advantages And Disadvantages Of Artificial Leather And Synthetic Leather

Sude Glove Leather

The bags, furniture, and shoes we use may be made of artificial leather and synthetic leather, and now technology is becoming more and more developed, and any material can be made with the material you want. Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of artificial leather and synthetic leather, as well as what are the differences in wear resistance.

1. The advantages and disadvantages of artificial leather and synthetic leather
Artificial leather is a composite material that combines fibers with plastic. At present, the common artificial leather is mainly polyvinyl chloride artificial leather. Artificial leather has the characteristics of soft texture, elasticity, high mechanical strength, acid and alkali resistance, non-flammability, easy washing, bright color, and diverse patterns, and is deliberately widely used. It is commonly used to make clothing, hats, gloves, shoes, sofas, chairs and other covering materials.
The surface of synthetic leather is polyurethane resin. It is a composite material formed by coating polyurethane microporous elastomer on composite fiber knitted fabric or non-woven fabric. Synthetic leather has the characteristics of oxidation resistance, wear resistance, oil resistance, etc., and its mechanical strength, wear resistance and elasticity are better than that of artificial leather; The breathability and moisture permeability are close to those of natural leather; High surface hardness, not easy to be moth-eaten, mildew, water resistance, oil resistance; The size of the product is stable, not easy to deform, and the texture is also soft at low temperature; The appearance of the product is bright, beautiful, easy to maintain, strong and durable.

2. Abrasion resistance of artificial leather and synthetic leather
Artificial leather refers to PVC (polyvinyl chloride) artificial leather, with all kinds of cloth as the base material, combined with PVC foam layer, and then processed by the surface of the leather, with a soft feel, similar to the texture of the leather surface and different surface touch, durable and easy to post-process, is a high-quality and inexpensive product. Artificial leather is the earliest invention of the substitute for leather fabrics, which is made of PVC plus plasticizers and other additives calendered and compounded on the cloth, the advantage is that the price is cheap, the color is rich, the pattern is varied, the disadvantage is that it is easy to harden, brittle, and the wear resistance is poor.
Synthetic leather: In terms of chemical structure, it is closer to leather fabrics, it does not use plasticizers to achieve soft properties, so it will not harden and become brittle, it can achieve high toughness, very wear-resistant, and has the advantages of rich colors and patterns. Moreover, PU synthetic leather has superior properties that other synthetic materials do not have, and it can replace cowhide, pigskin, sheepskin and other natural leather surfaces.
