1. Artificial leather is a plastic product that looks and feels like leather and can replace it. It is usually made of fabric as the base, coated with synthetic resin and various plastics. There are three main categories: Pvc Artificial Leather, PU artificial leather and Pu Synthetic Leather. 2. Genuine leather is made of animal skin, which is conceptually compared to artificial leather made of chemical fiber materials. The dermis mentioned in the market is generally one of the three layers: the first layer of leather, the second layer of leather, and the Synthetic Leather. The prices of the three types of skins decrease in order.
3. First of all, it should be distinguished from the leather pattern and pores. The surface of real leather has clear pores and patterns, yellow cowhide has relatively well-proportioned fine pores, yak cowhide has thicker and sparse pores, and goat skin has scaly pores. Pores. Pork skin pores are round and thick, arranged in triangles. The patterns and pores distributed on the surface of these natural leathers do exist and are unevenly distributed. There are animal fibers on the reverse side, and the side section is clearly distinguishable. There are animal fibers on the lower layer. If you try to scratch with your fingernails, the leather fibers will appear to be upright. It feels like velvet. A small amount of fiber can also fall down. The fabric can be seen on the reverse side of artificial leather. There is no animal fiber on the side. Generally, the epidermis has no pores, but some have artificial leather and artificial pores. Obviously, or there are more regular artificial patterns, and the pores are quite consistent.
4. Touch the surface of the leather with your hands to feel soft, plump, smooth and elastic; while the surface of general artificial leather is astringent, rigid, and poor in softness. When the front side of the leather is bent down about 90 degrees, natural wrinkles will appear, respectively. There are obvious unevenness in the thickness and number of folds produced by bending different parts. It can basically be regarded as real leather. Because real leather has a natural uneven fiber structure, the formation of wrinkles is also obvious. Uneven. The artificial leather feels like plastic, and has poor recovery. 5. Genuine leather has a strong fur taste, even after treatment, the taste is more obvious, while the artificial leather products have the taste of plastic, without the taste of fur. 6. It can be distinguished by smelling burnt odor and looking at the state of ashes. When the dermis burns, it will It emits a scorching smell of hair. The burned ashes are generally easy to break into powder. After the artificial leather is burned, the flame is also strong, shrinks quickly, and has an unpleasant smell of plastic. It becomes hard and lumpy.
