PU leather is one of the commonly used fabrics for backpack customization. Many leather backpack products on the market are made of PU leather. Next, I will introduce you to PU leather.
PU is the abbreviation of polyurethane in English, and the chemical name in Chinese is "polyurethane". PU leather is the skin of polyurethane. PU leather is very similar to natural leather in appearance. It is the first substitute invented for leather fabrics. It is made of PVC, plasticizer and other additives by calendering and laminating on cloth. Its advantages are cheap, rich in color, various patterns, similar appearance to natural leather, easy to handle, mass production, sufficient resources, and its disadvantages are easy to harden, brittle, wear resistant, scratch resistant, long time and easy to weather.
PU leather is synthetic, and the fabric is relatively uniform as a whole, and there is no position difference. Therefore, the utilization rate of the fabric used to make backpack products is much higher than that of natural leather, which is also a major advantage of synthetic leather in practical application. With the continuous improvement of the manufacturing process, many physical properties of the current high-grade PU leather have greatly exceeded those of natural leather, and the external performance has the characteristics of natural leather. In the sense of industry, it is not only suitable for modern scale production, but also can protect ecology and animals, making full use of non-natural resources. Therefore, PU leather has also become an ideal alternative to natural leather and is widely used for the decoration of bags, clothing, shoes, vehicles and furniture. It has been increasingly recognized by the market. Its wide range of application, large quantity and variety are beyond the traditional natural leather.
The appearance of PU leather is similar to that of natural leather, and the price is lower than that of natural leather. Therefore, many customers who have the demand for backpack customization will choose PU leather when choosing leather fabric to make backpacks. The backpack products made of PU leather have relatively good appearance and three-dimensional compactness, so they are popular with customized customers.
