The main differences between water-based PU leather and ordinary PU leather are environmental protection, physical properties, production process and scope of application
Environmental protection: Water-based PU leather uses water as a dispersion medium in the production process, so it is non-toxic, non-flammable, and does not pollute the environment. It has the characteristics of energy saving, safety and environmental protection. In contrast, ordinary PU leather may produce toxic and harmful waste gas and wastewater during production and use, which has a certain impact on the environment and human health.
Physical properties: Water-based PU leather has excellent physical properties, including high peel strength, high folding resistance, high wear resistance, etc. These properties make water-based PU leather a better alternative to genuine leather and traditional solvent-based synthetic leather. Although ordinary PU leather also has certain physical properties, it may not be as good as water-based PU leather in terms of environmental protection and durability.
Production process: Water-based PU leather is made of special water-based process formula and environmentally friendly equipment, and has the advantages of good wear resistance and scratch resistance, and ultra-long hydrolysis resistance. These advantages are derived from the water-based surface layer and auxiliary agents, which double its wear resistance and scratch resistance, which is more than 10 times higher than that of ordinary wet synthetic leather products. The production process of ordinary PU leather may not involve these environmental protection and performance improvement technologies.
Scope of application: Water-based PU leather is widely used in many fields such as shoes, clothing, sofas, sports goods, etc. due to its environmental protection and excellent physical properties, and meets various requirements for synthetic leather environmental protection at home and abroad. Although ordinary PU leather is also widely used in the decoration of bags, clothing, shoes, vehicles and furniture, its scope of use may be subject to certain restrictions in the context of increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements.
In summary, water-based PU leather has obvious advantages over ordinary PU leather in terms of environmental protection, physical properties, production process and scope of application, and is a material that better meets modern environmental protection requirements and high performance requirements.
