What are the advantages and disadvantages of microfiber leather? How many years can microfiber leather generally last? The advantages of microfiber leather are outstanding in terms of chemical resistance, wrinkle resistance, wear resistance, processability, adaptability, and quality uniformity
Advantages:
1. The folding fastness can be comparable to natural leather. Bending at room temperature for 200000 times without cracks (-20 degrees Celsius) and bending for 30000 times without cracks (good temperature resistance and mechanical properties).
2. Moderate elongation (good skin sensation)
3. High tear strength and peel strength (high wear resistance, tear strength, and tensile strength).
4. There will be no pollution from production to use, and the environmental performance is superior.
Disadvantages: There is a slight difference in comfort, breathability, and moisture permeability compared to genuine leather.
The characteristics of PU artificial leather: high strength, thin and elastic, soft and smooth, good breathability and water permeability, and waterproof. At low temperatures, it still has good tensile strength and flexural strength, as well as good resistance to light aging and hydrolysis stability. Not wear-resistant, similar in appearance and performance to natural leather, easy to wash and stain, and easy to sew. Smooth and compact surface, capable of various surface treatments and dyeing, with a variety of varieties
Superfiber leather can generally last for several years:
The normal service life of ordinary microfiber skin is 3-5 years, and high-quality ones will be correspondingly longer. Generally, it rarely lasts for ten years.
Some of the top foreign microfiber skins have high technological content and are more expensive than genuine leather, used for high-end applications. The appearance effect of microfiber leather is most similar to that of genuine leather, and its products are superior to natural leather in terms of thickness uniformity, tear strength, color brightness, and leather surface utilization. It has become the development direction of contemporary synthetic leather. If there is dirt on the surface of the microfiber leather, it can be wiped with high-grade gasoline or clean water. It is not allowed to wipe with other organic solvents or alkaline substances to prevent quality damage. Usage conditions for microfiber skin: no more than 25 minutes at a heat setting temperature of 100 ℃, no more than 10 minutes at 120 ℃, and no more than 5 minutes at 130 ℃.
