What Material is Car Seat Leather Made Of?
1 Answers
Car seat leather comes in two types of materials: one is PU leather made purely from chemical compounds, also known as artificial leather; the other is regenerated leather, which is made by mixing crushed genuine leather scraps with certain chemical compounds. Additional information is as follows: 1. Artificial Leather: Artificial leather is a plastic product that resembles leather in appearance and texture and can be used as a substitute. It is typically made by coating a fabric base with synthetic resin and various plastic additives. The main types include PVC artificial leather, PU artificial leather, and PU synthetic leather. 2. Regenerated Leather: This refers to the process of turning leather scraps and waste into whole sheets of leather, known as regenerated leather. The manufacturing process is simple: leather waste is shredded into fibers, then pressed into sheet form using natural latex, synthetic latex, or other adhesives. It can replace genuine leather in making shoe insoles, heel counters, and toe caps, as well as car seats. The shape of regenerated leather can be customized as needed, much like making pasta. It is not only durable but also lightweight, heat-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
