Artificial Leather Fabric - PU/PVC Clothing/Shoe Leather Fabric
Artificial Leather
Artificial leather—widely recognized in the industry as synthetic leather, faux leather, or vegan leather—is a high-performance material engineered to replicate the premium look and tactile feel of genuine leather. Sometimes referred to as imitation leather or fake leather in consumer markets, this material is a preferred solution for manufacturers in the furniture, apparel, and accessory sectors due to its exceptional versatility and cost-efficiency.
Constructed via a multi-layer process, our synthetic leather production involves bonding a robust textile backing with a durable plastic coating or polymer finish. As a cruelty-free alternative that preserves animal life, it meets the growing global demand for sustainable and ethical manufacturing materials.
Material Composition & Types
Our artificial leather is engineered with a high-performance coating bonded to a durable fabric base.
-
Coating Technology: The surface is typically a polyurethane coating or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) layer. This layer can be embossed to perfectly mimic the grain of real leather, including sophisticated full grain leather textures.
-
Base Structure: We utilize a high-quality fibrous base layer (also known as the base fabric), made from cloth or mixed fabrics. This provides the essential structure, flexibility, and greater durability required for industrial use.
Product Classifications
-
PU Leather (Polyurethane Leather): Often simply called PU, this material contains polyurethane and is known for its soft hand-feel and breathability. It is the top choice for high-end fashion and faux leather fabric applications.
-
PVC Leather (Vinyl): Containing polyvinyl chloride, PVC leather offers superior toughness. It is a plastic-based material ideal for applications requiring water resistant properties.
Industrial & Commercial Applications
Artificial leather has become the material of choice for manufacturers seeking a balance of durable performance and aesthetics.
-
Furniture & Upholstery: It is extensively used for upholstery in sofas, office chairs, and commercial seating.
-
Fashion & Accessories: Beyond furniture, this versatile fabric is utilized for producing footwear, handbags, and specifically camera cases, where protection and style are paramount.
-
Specialized Uses: From standard pu leather to specialized variants like cork leather or materials sometimes called presstoff in historical contexts, we provide materials composed of several layers to meet diverse B2B sourcing requirements.
