An introduction to the leather


Microfiber leather, environmental protection leather, west leather = artificial leather, the surface covered with film, the surface seems perfect, but the actual comfort is low, low value cowhide = natural, without modification, the surface is convex and convex, as a symbol of noble and rich, high value, the price is dozens of times imitation leather.


"Cowhide" is processed from cow skin. From its physiological point of view, it has considerable strength and breathability because of the small fiber bundle contained in the dermis. The epidermis lies beneath the hair, just above the dermis, and consists of an array of different shaped epidermal cells. The natural characteristics of cowhide are warm in winter and cool in summer, suitable for use in any climate, but also with good feel, strong air permeability, anti-static wear resistance and other characteristics, so in Japan, Europe and the United States and other developed countries suede leather fabric for sofa is very popular: real cowhide, only through natural dyeing, so the porosity density is thin, high breathable degree, soft and comfortable feeling. On the contrary, artificial leather or buffalo leather and other inferior leather, after a variety of artificial spraying whitewash, dense porosity, the formation of a low degree of breathability, touch will have a rough feeling.


Microfiber leather, environmental protection leather, west leather is imitation leather, that is, artificial leather, seemingly smooth and beautiful, feel is also good, compared with cow leather from the surface is difficult to distinguish, but its bad spots :1. due to surface film, poor breathable performance, summer use is easy to form sweat stains on the back, hip 2 easy to fade, surface film and leather between use to a certain number of years, will fall off, Defects at a glance 3 easy to break, winter temperature is low, hardening, hardening uneven fracture, and cowhide without this defect.
