PVC leather and PU leather have significant differences in material, feel, wear resistance, waterproofness, environmental protection and price.
Material and feel
PVC leather: Mainly made of polyvinyl chloride, it has a hard texture, feels similar to plastic, and has a high gloss.
PU leather: Made of polyurethane, it has a soft texture, feels close to genuine leather, has good breathability, and feels like marshmallows.
Wear resistance and waterproofness
PVC leather: It has poor wear resistance, is easy to wear and age, and performs poorly in high temperature and humid environments. It has good waterproof performance but poor breathability.
PU leather: It has good wear resistance and scratch resistance, and a long service life, but its waterproof performance is slightly poor, and it needs to pay attention to moisture-proof.
Environmental protection and price
PVC leather: The price is relatively low, but the environmental protection is poor. Although modern technology has improved, it is still not as environmentally friendly as PU leather.
PU leather: The price is higher, but the environmental protection is better, and environmentally friendly materials are used, which is environmentally friendly.
