For what is artificial leather, it is mainly a kind of plastic products that feel and look very similar to leather and can be replaced. It is mainly a kind of environmental friendly leather. Generally speaking, our fabric is used as the base in the process of coating synthetic resin and adding into various plastics. Man made leather is the first substitute we invented, which can be used to replace leather fabrics. The price is cheaper, the color is richer, and the pattern is more diverse. The disadvantage is that it is relatively easy to harden and brittle·
Artificial leather is mainly a kind of plastic product similar to leather. Generally speaking, the fabric is used as the base, and then coated or coated with a layer of resin mixture, and then heated and plasticized. Under the condition of rolling, embossing or flattening, we can get the product we want. It is very similar to natural leather and has the characteristics of wear resistance and softness. Due to the different types of covers, we make it according to the purpose of artificial leather for luggage and shoes. For recycled leather, it is mainly to grind the leather residue and leather fiber, and then bond them with adhesive under high pressure. After forming a sheet, it will be sliced into the thickness we need by the leather slicing machine, and then after our finishing, it can have certain leather characteristics. After a large number of leather goods are used for luggage and leather goods, a small amount will be found to be used for shoes.
What is the main difference between genuine leather and artificial leather? From the perspective of genuine leather, it is made and processed with animal skin. Conceptually, it is mainly a kind of artificial leather made of chemical fiber materials compared with artificial leather. From the perspective of artificial leather, it is a kind of plastic product that feels and looks like leather and can be replaced.
There are many differences in our hand feel. One is to touch the surface of our leather by hand. How can the leather be smoother, fuller, softer and more elastic? It will be astringent in artificial leather and relatively poor in softness. In terms of grain, there are many differences. There are very clear pores and patterns in real leather and symmetrical fine pores in cowhide, Yak skin has relatively thick and sparse pores, goat skin has fish scale pores, and pig skin also has triangular pores. Compared with artificial leather, although the pores are imitated, they are relatively unclear. Although it is very different in taste, it has some natural smell of leather in real leather, which is a pungent plastic smell compared with artificial leather. Although the structure after we burn is somewhat different, the artificial leather will continue to give off a pungent smell after ignition, and the leather will also give off the smell of hair without hard knots. Although the water absorption is different, the water absorption of leather is also relatively good, because the water absorption of artificial leather is relatively poor.
