As a automotive interior leather, it must have the following properties: light resistance, moisture and heat resistance, color fastness to rubbing, rubbing breakage resistance, flame retardant, tensile strength, tear strength, sewing strength. As the owner of the leather still have expectations, so feel, durability, softness, stain resistance, whether easy to clean and other factors need to be taken into account.
Commonly used seat covering leather materials
1.PVC artificial leather
PVC artificial leather is the earliest seat covering material invented and applied, PVC leather fabric, also called PVC coated fabric, is a kind of material formed by mixing PVC powder, plasticizers and additives and coating on the base fabric.
2. Microfiber leather
Microfiber leather is a kind of new material emerging along with the development of textile technology. The surface layer of microfiber leather is a thin polyurethane layer, and the bottom layer is a substrate prepared by impregnating polyurethane with microfiber non-woven fabric. Cuir microfibre not only has a similar structure with natural leather, but also its appearance, perception and touch are closer to natural leather, and it is difficult to distinguish the difference between the two in appearance.
3. Genuine leather
The real skin from the animal body, after a series of physical mechanical and chemical treatment made of leather is the real leather, obviously its cost is much higher than the synthetic leather fabric, the most used in the car is the first layer of cowhide or two layer of cowhide, a full leather seat, the cost is very high, so the real leather basically only appear in the luxury brand of high-end models. Some prices are not very expensive models even if the use of leather will not use 100% complete leather, but the dregs of the skin, skin fiber grinding, high pressure with adhesive bonding regeneration of leather production, or in leather for car seats of some frequent contact with the place with leather, other parts with artificial leather fabric.
How to distinguish between genuine leather and artificial leather?
How can we distinguish genuine leather and synthetic faux leather? The simplest way is to look at the appearance, touch feel, smell taste, generally good leather, the color is bright and soft, feel soft and tough, and no pungent taste, while the second best leather although very smooth but hard feel, the poorer the leather, not only feel rough, and there is a strong plastic taste. In addition, genuine leather rubbed will have a leather comes with a stink, and microfiber leather does not have this taste.
Comprehensive comparison test data above can be seen, microfiber leather as a new material, with excellent mechanical properties, color fastness performance and environmental protection compared to leather also has a better cost-effectiveness. In particular, Microfibra de cuero also has strong wear resistance and can still maintain high tensile strength after punching, so it can give stylists more styling design options.
