The difference between genuine leather and PU gloves
Genuine leather gloves have strong toughness, good wear resistance and air permeability, maintaining the natural leather breathable, hygroscopic, soft, wear-resistant and comfortable characteristics. It can also be antistatic, elastic, wear-resistant, and can be treated with waterproof decontamination technology.
Microfiber is short for microfiber PU synthetic leather. It is a non-woven fabric with three-dimensional structure made of microfiber staple fiber after carding and needling, and then through wet processing, PU resin impregnation, reduction extraction, grinding, dyeing, and finally made of microfiber leather.
The toughness, air permeability and wear resistance are further enhanced by adding microfiber to PU polyurethane. It has excellent wear resistance, excellent cold resistance, air permeability and aging resistance.
In foreign countries, due to the influence of the Animal Protection society and the development of technology, the properties and applications of microfiber polyurethane synthetic leather exceed those of natural leather. PU is cheaper. Leather gloves are a little more expensive than PU leather.
Disadvantages:
Leather gloves have obvious pores and patterns, but they are not clear and the lines do not repeat.
Although PU is also like wool holes, but the appearance of the line is relatively simple. In addition, synthetic and faux leather both have a layer of fabric as the sole of the shoe to increase its tensile strength, while leather does not have this layer of fabric on the back. This identification is a relatively simple and practical method.
Identification method of leather gloves:
1. Hand touch: that is, touch the leather surface with your hands. If it feels smooth, soft, plump and elastic, it is genuine leather; But synthetic leather is usually hard.
2. See: Real leather has clear fur and patterns, cowhide has symmetrical fine pores, yak skin has thick and sparse pores, and goatskin has fish-scale pores.
3. Smell: All dermis smell of leather; Artificial leather, on the other hand, has a strong plastic pungent smell.
4. Light the fire: Peel a bit of fiber from the back of real leather and faux leather. After burning out pungent smell, the formation of a pimple is artificial leather; Anything that smells like hair and isn't hard is genuine leather.
