PU leather is an artificial synthetic leather, manufactured through a lamination process. It is different from genuine leather. How to distinguish the two is reflected in the following points:
1. By touching: By touching the leather surface, if it feels smooth (except leather processed into coarse grain), soft, plump and elastic, then this is genuine leather; if it feels dry, inelastic and surface glossy, The shiny one is PU leather.
2. Naked eye observation: Genuine leather is animal fur, with irregular pores and patterns on its surface, and the patterns will not be repeated, and there will be obvious differences when pressed; PU leather has smaller pores, uniform condition, and single texture after pressing. .
3. Compare the smell: The smell of genuine leather material is the warm smell of animal hair, which is strong but not pungent; PU leather leather will smell the pungent smell of plastic.
4. Experimental proof: ① After the genuine leather is ignited, the smell is similar to that of ignited hair, and it can be pinched into powder with your fingers; PU leather will produce a pungent smell when ignited, and will form pimples after burning. ② If you drip water on the genuine leather, the water will be quickly absorbed and it will have a moist and soft feeling; the PU leather will appear directly on the skin and can be wiped off with your hands, leaving the epidermis unchanged.
