2. PVC leather: PVC leather has similar appearance and feel as real leather, but its aging resistance and abrasion resistance are much lower than real leather. It is a kind of synthetic leather made of a large number of chemical raw materials and plastics.
3. PU leather: PU leather is using PU resin and non-woven fabric as raw materials. PU leather is better than PVC leather in terms of manufacturing process, ductility and service life. Apparels, shoes and furniture etc widely use it since the 1960s.
