Pu Leather

PU leather, also called polyurethane synthetic leather, replicates the look and feel of real hide with consistent quality. We have 15+ years in artificial leather and 20 years in shoe materials. Our plant supplies materials for footwear, sofas, automotive interiors, bags, garments, and sports goods. Experienced engineers oversee production and in-house testing.

What is PU leather

PU leather is a polyurethane-coated fabric bonded to knitted, woven, or non-woven backings. The build allows precise control of thickness and hand feel. Abrasion and hydrolysis performance can be tuned. Finishes range from matte to high gloss.

Key benefits

Reliable batches and competitive factory pricing
Broad style range with custom backing, texture, and color
Optional properties: antibacterial, breathable, waterproof, and fire-retardant

Applications for PU leather

Footwear: Balances flex resistance, hydrolysis stability, and color consistency for uppers, linings, and trims. Textures include smooth, embossed, nubuck-like, and sporty.
Sofa and upholstery: Soft touch, high abrasion resistance, and easy cleaning for sofas and seating. Available in matte, semi-aniline, vintage, and stain-resistant finishes.
Automotive: Durable with UV and temperature resistance for seats, door panels, and trims. Consistent grains and comfortable hand feel support long-term appearance.
Bags, garments, accessories: Crisp shaping, refined textures, and colorfast surfaces for handbags, jackets, and accessories. Strong tear strength helps retain form.
Sports equipment: Grip, abrasion resistance, and controlled elasticity for balls, protective gear, and training items. Simple to clean and maintain.

Specifications and options

Backings: Knitted for stretch, woven for strength, non-woven for stability.
Thickness and width: From lightweight linings to heavier grades for upholstery and vehicles. Standard widths and roll formats aid cutting efficiency.
Surface and texture: Matte, glossy, semi-aniline, pebbled, vintage, or nubuck-like; stable embossing for a refined look.
Durability: Tuned hydrolysis resistance, high abrasion tolerance, and strong tear strength by application.
Comfort: Breathable constructions and controlled elasticity from plush to firm.
Protection: Waterproof and stain-resistant coatings for spill and sweat resistance.
Safety: Fire-retardant variants to meet common requirements in public spaces and transport.
Hygiene: Antibacterial options for linings, gym equipment, and seating.
Color and light: Colorfastness and UV stability help reduce fading under light and friction.

Customization and style library

Choose from 300+ in-stock styles via our digital showroom. We match colors, adjust finishes, and tailor backings and thickness to project goals. Sampling is fast to validate touch, shade, and performance.

Manufacturing and quality assurance

Factory production is guided by experienced engineers. Each batch is tested for abrasion, hydrolysis, tear strength, colorfastness, and finish stability, with full traceability. Integrated production and ready stock support stable supply and competitive pricing.

Sustainability and compliance

Eco-focused options include low-VOC formulations that reduce solvents while maintaining performance. Where recyclability is a priority, consider our recyclable microfiber leather as an alternative to PU leather. Materials can be produced to meet applicable regulations and common standards.

Selection guide

By application: Use hydrolysis-stable grades for shoes; soft-touch, abrasion-resistant surfaces for upholstery; UV- and temperature-resistant constructions for vehicles; tear-strong materials for bags.
By performance: Choose waterproof for spill-prone areas; fire-retardant for public spaces; antibacterial for hygiene; breathable builds for comfort.
By aesthetics: Select matte, glossy, semi-aniline, or vintage grains. Precise color matching supports consistent shade across batches.
