There are clear differences between artificial leather and synthetic leather in many ways. First of all, they are made from different materials. Artificial leather is mainly made of natural polymers, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, etc., while synthetic leather is made of synthetic resin, such as polypropylene, polyester, etc. This leads to differences in look and feel between the two. The surface of artificial leather is usually more natural, with leather-like textures and colors, while synthetic leather is smoother and more vibrant.
Secondly, the uses of the two are also different. Due to its appearance and texture close to that of natural leather, artificial leather is often used to make leather shoes, leather clothes and other items that require a higher sense of class. Synthetic leather is often used to make practical items such as bags, handbags, and furniture due to its wear-resistant, water-resistant, and oil-resistant characteristics.
In addition, the production process of the two is also different. Artificial leather usually uses embossing, finishing and other processes to simulate the texture and color of natural leather, while synthetic leather often improves its performance by adding different fillers and additives.
In general, artificial leather and synthetic leather have their own characteristics and scope of use. When choosing, it is necessary to choose the right material according to the specific needs and the use environment. For example, for items such as leather shoes and leather clothing that require a higher sense of class, artificial leather may be more suitable;For bags, handbags, furniture and other items that require wear-resistant, water-resistant, oil-resistant and other properties, synthetic leather may be more suitable.
