Product Feature
PVC Leather
PVC leather, sometimes called Vinyl, is made out of fabric leather backing, topped with a foam layer, skin layer, and then a plastic-based surface coating. PVC has more layers underneath its coating, making it tougher and more durable. Great for indoor and outdoor use. Makes easy to use when upholstering. Great for auto headliners, seats, chairs sofas, and much more.
Best for reupholstering furniture or car interiors
Due to its foam layer underneath its surface coating and skin layer, PVC leather is much less breathable than PU. This gives PU leather the advantage when it comes to being the preferred material for wearable clothing items. However, since PU leather has more pores on its surface, this gives PU leather the risk of absorbing stains and other unwanted particles. This is why most upholstery uses PVC leather instead.
PVC’s multi-layer structure and lack of pores, compared to PU leather, make the material more durable than PU leather. This is why PVC leather is mostly used in upholstery and footwear. Utilizing PVC leather could result in an additional product life as well.
Waterproof
PVC has no hair follicles (pores) unlike PU leather which makes it virtually waterproof and high temperature resistance, but may become unbreathable in hot temperatures.
PVC leather is a different form of plastic, which can not be degraded easily. Due to its plastic character, PVC leather would be a little bit tough in low temperatures and does not bally flex. So it is absolutely wrong to compare it with genuine leather. However PVC leather may crack with extended use in many areas such as outdoor goods because of the application of plasticizers.
