Product Description

Instead of polyurethane, PVC leather fabric is made by combining polyvinylchloride with stabilizers (to protect), plasticizers (to soften) and lubricants (to make flexible), and then applying to a base material. PVC is a type of synthetic plastic polymer. One of the reasons that PVC leather is popular for fabric upholstering is PVC can be much cheaper because of the manufacturing process for PVC is much easier. In certain cases, imitation leathers can be made of PVC which is highly suitable for custom upholstery use.

Advantages of PVC leather:

PVC can withstand more severe wear and weather conditions than PU, which may wrinkle and discolor like genuine leather.

PVC leather is considerably less breathable than PU due to the foam layer underneath its surface coating and skin layer. As a result, PU leather has the benefit of being the chosen material for wearable apparel items.

However, as PU leather has larger holes on its surface, it is more prone to collecting stains and other undesirable particles. As a result, most upholstery is made of PVC leather rather than real leather.

When compared to PU leather, PVC’s multi-layer structure and absence of pores make the material more durable.
