1. Differences in production materials and processes
Microfiber leather, the full name of which is microfiber reinforced leather, is made of nylon microfibers with a structure and performance similar to the bundled collagen fibers in natural leather. It is made into a non-woven fabric with a three-dimensional network structure, and then filled with polyurethane with excellent performance and an open microporous structure for post-processing. Its production process is complex and requires high-precision equipment and technology.
Microfiber leather is a kind of artificial leather, the base layer of which is made of microfiber non-woven fabric and the surface layer is polyurethane (PU) resin. The two are combined through a specific process to form a material that looks and feels similar to natural leather. Compared with microfiber leather, the production process of microfiber leather is relatively simple.
2. Comparison of appearance and texture
The appearance of microfiber leather is very close to natural leather, with a delicate and soft texture, and its surface texture and color are also very natural. This makes microfiber leather widely used in high-end furniture, shoes and bags and other fields.
Although microfiber leather also has a similar appearance to natural leather, its surface is PU resin, so its texture and color may be slightly stiff and monotonous. However, with the continuous advancement of technology, today's microfiber leather can simulate very realistic leather texture and color.
3. Performance Analysis
Microfiber leather has excellent wear resistance, scratch resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and its air permeability and moisture absorption are also very good. This allows the microfiber leather to maintain long-term durability and comfort during use.
Although microfiber leather is not as good as microfiber leather in terms of performance, it also has certain wear resistance and scratch resistance. In addition, the price of microfiber leather is relatively low, so it is still widely used in some fields with certain cost requirements, such as automotive interiors, luggage, etc.
