How to distinguish the quality of PU leather

PU leather is a common synthetic leather material that has a look and feel similar to real leather, but is more affordable. However, the quality of PU leather on the market is uneven, and consumers are often difficult to distinguish its quality when buying. Therefore, this article will introduce how to identify the quality of PU leather and help consumers make informed choices when buying.

First of all, to identify the quality of PU leather, it is necessary to observe from two aspects of appearance and feel. High-quality PU leather surface smooth and uniform, no obvious flaws and scars, feel soft and elastic.

Therefore, when consumers buy PU leather products, they can preliminarily judge their quality by observing the appearance and feel.

In addition to the appearance, feel and smell, the quality of PU leather can also be identified by flame testing. Take off a small piece of PU leather and use a lighter to lightly grill its edge.

When the inferior PU leather burns, it may produce a pungent chemical smell, and it will leave obvious coke marks after burning. Therefore, consumers can preliminarily judge the quality of PU leather through the flame test.

In addition, the quality of PU leather can be identified by observing its wear resistance and durability. High-quality PU leather has good wear resistance and durability, not easy to wear and deformation; Poor quality PU leather may have poor wear resistance and durability problems. Therefore, when consumers buy PU leather products, they can preliminarily judge their quality by observing their wear resistance and durability.

In general, to identify the quality of PU leather, consumers can observe and test from many aspects such as appearance, feel, smell, flame test, wear resistance and durability. Through these methods, consumers can initially judge the quality of PU leather, so as to make a wise choice when purchasing.
