What is microfiber leather? Microfiber leather is a good leather so far. Many people’s sofas are made of microfiber leather. Microfiber leather is different from real leather. Microfiber leather is a kind of synthetic leather. Which material is better for microfiber leather or genuine leather?

What is microfiber leather:

Name: The full name of microfiber leather is "microfiber reinforced PU leather".

Features: extremely excellent wear resistance, cold resistance, breathability, aging resistance, and hydrolysis resistance. It has better physical properties than the genuine leather and has a stable surface layer. Waterproof, strong anti-pollution ability, easy to maintain, non-toxic and environmentally friendly, odorless, mildew and mothproof, good uniformity, easy to sew building materials, etc.

It can almost replace real leather.

Influenced by the Animal Protection Association, coupled with the development of technology, the application surpasses natural leather.

Application: Leather products such as car interiors, sports equipment, sofas, shoes, clothing, women's bags, men's bags, wallets, etc., especially leather shoes, are widely used in leather goods, which can replace fabrics and protect core components.

Microfiber leather is a kind of superfine fiber, which is short for PU synthetic leather. Microfiber leather is a non-woven product with a three-dimensional structure network made of short microfibers through carding and sewing processes and then processed by wet processing, PU resin impregnation, skinning, and other processes. Microfiber Leather has many properties.

Microfiber leather is made of PU polyurethane with microfibers, so the microfiber leather has super abrasion resistance, breathability, and good flexibility. Sofas and other products made of microfiber leather have good air permeability and cold resistance. Microfiber leather is also very resistant to aging and is a good material.

The microfiber leather fabric is comfortable, beautiful, warm, breathable, has good drape and fullness, and is also significantly improved in terms of hydrophobicity and antifouling. Using the characteristics of large specific surface area and softness, different tissue structures can be designed to make it more It absorbs more heat from the sun or dissipates the temperature faster, playing the role of warming in winter and cooling in summer.

Microfiber leather is also called "two-layer cowhide", commonly known as artificial leather with cowhide fiber. The leftovers of cowhide are crushed and resin is added in proportion to make skin pulp, which is made into skin embryos by the mechanical calendering method. , And then processed by coating or laminating with PU film through the wet or dry method.

Which is better between microfiber leather and genuine leather:

Exterior. From the appearance point of view, the microfiber leather is actually very close to the leather, but after careful comparison, you will find that the pores on the leather are relatively clean and the texture will be more natural, while the microfiber leather is a kind of artificial leather, so it has no pores at all. Moreover, the temperature of the microfiber leather is more neat and regular, but some low-end microfiber leather products will give people a plastic feel.

odor. The dermis is animal skin, so it will have a certain peculiar smell or even some foul smell. Some dermis will be processed with some chemical substances, so heavy metals and formaldehyde are often exceeded, which makes the dermis emit bursts of irritation. odor. The microfiber leather taste is not so heavy, but if you buy some low-end North Korean leather products, it will give off a plastic smell.

weight. From the weight point of view, leather is real animal skin, so it contains more water. The specific gravity of leather is generally about 0.6, while the specific gravity of ultra-fiber leather is about 0.3-0.5. Therefore, under the same circumstances, leather is more Fiber leather is heavy, especially when buying leather bags, leather bags are much heavier than microfiber leather bags.

performance. Microfiber leather is added with microfiber, so it has stronger aging resistance and abrasion resistance, but real leather is more comfortable and breathable. In fact, the two can also achieve a balance in all aspects.

Environmental friendly. The dermis is made of real animal skins, which are limited in terms of materials, and it is not environmentally friendly. Super fiber leather is more convenient to obtain, and its performance in all aspects is more stable and lasting.

price. Genuine leather is more expensive than ultra-fiber leather due to material reasons, and the price of leather will fluctuate due to changes in supply and demand. However, the microfiber leather produced by some top technologies is more expensive than real leather and is mainly used in high-end areas.
