Microfiber leather is comfortable, beautiful, warm and breathable. It has good draping and plump degree, and also has obvious improvement in hydrophobic and antifouling properties.
The difference between microfiber leather and imitation leather:
Appearance
Microfiber leather is the most leather-like artificial leather. Its appearance is very close to the leather, but after careful observation will find that the surface of the leather has clear pores and the grain on the skin is more natural, while the surface of microfiber leather has no pores and the grain is more regular. The microfiber leather produced by Bensen is basically odorless, has a variety of patterns, and can be customized according to your needs.
Weight
In addition to the surface grain of leather, you can also distinguish microfiber leather and natural leather by weight. The weight of microfiber leather is lower than natural leather, the specific gravity of natural leather is generally 0.6, but the specific gravity of microfiber leather is usually less than or equal to 0.5, which means that the weight can be used to determine which kind of leather is used in the product. If to reduce the weight of the car, it is recommended to use microfiber leather or even suede.
Smell
Leather is the skin of animals, so it has an smell, even an odor. Microfiber leather, on the other hand, is synthetic, the smell is relatively light, if in the process of adding excessive formaldehyde, heavy metals, etc., the leather will have a pungent smell. In addition, poor quality microfiber leather will have a plastic smell. Bensen uses environmentally friendly solvents in the production of microfiber leather, reducing the degree of pollution to the environment at the same time, the leather is almost odorless, protecting the health of the passengers in the car.
Performance
Both microfiber and genuine leather have better performance. It is possible that microfiber is better in wear resistance and aging resistance, while genuine leather is better in comfort and breathability. Due to the scarcity of leather, microfiber leather is gradually being widely used in the field of car seat modification.
Materials
Dermis from animals, the number, size, shape and other animal restrictions, and the microfiber leather is artificial leather, material is more convenient, more quantity, more stable quality performance. Bensen adheres to the concept of ecological protection and produces vegan microfiber leather.
Price
Due to the scarcity of genuine leather, its price tends to be higher than microfiber leather (finger layer leather). In addition, the price of genuine leather will fluctuate due to the supply and demand in the market, while the price of microfiber leather will be affected by the price of raw materials. However, some microfiber leather used in high-end fields, because of the high technology content of the production process, each time the number of production is small, its price will be higher than that of genuine leather. Bensen has our own factory, which can provide more competitive price with guaranteed quality.
How to distinguish the good from the bad microfiber leather:
Observe texture, compare the different microfiber leather of the same grain, you will find that the grain of the high-quality microfiber leather is clearer, and the leather sense of the surface layer is strong, and the inferior microfiber leather is not only rough grain but also has a strong sense of plastic.
Touch feeling, high quality microfiber leather has good feel, flexibility, resilience and comfort are quite high.
Look at creases: fold the same type of microfiber leather, compare the thickness of the creases in the middle, and see if the creases can disappear quickly when recovering. The smaller the creases, the faster they disappear means that the surface PU and the bottom substrate of the microfiber leather are better padded, which is an important indicator of high quality microfiber leather.
See scratches, scrape the surface of the microfiber skin with a hard object to see if it will leave scratches. Generally, the surface of the high quality microfiber skin is very scratch-resistant.
Hydrolysis resistance, high quality microfiber skin is very hydrolysis resistance, microfiber life in more than 5 years.
Base cloth, base cloth is a key component of the microfiber leather, related to the overall performance of the microfiber leather, good base cloth determines the performance of the microfiber leather more stable.
