Summary: What is PVC coated fabric? Calendered artificial leather: According to the formula requirements, the resin, plasticizer, crosslinking agent and other compounding agents are weighed and mixed in a kneader, then plasticized by a mill or extruder, and sent to a two-roll or four-roll calender to be calendered into a film of the required thickness and width. It is then bonded to a preheated base fabric, and then embossed and cooled to obtain the finished product.

What is PVC coated fabric? Calendered bonded artificial leather: According to the formula requirements, resin, plasticizer, crosslinking agent and other compounding agents are weighed and mixed evenly in a kneader, then plasticized by a mill or extruder, and then sent to a two-roll or four-roll calender to be calendered into a film of the required thickness and width, and bonded with a preheated base fabric, then embossed and cooled to obtain the finished product.

What is PU coated fabric? PU coating, namely polyurethane coating, after coating, the fabric feels full, elastic, and has a film-like appearance. PU coated fabrics are mainly used in outdoor clothing and military applications, and their characteristics are mainly moisture permeability, wear resistance, windproof, and softness.

Both are types of coatings; PVC leather and PU leather are collectively known as artificial leather. PVC and PU are both polyvinyl chloride; PVC coated fabric feels hard and PU coated fabric feels soft, the difference lies in the manufacturing process. Now let's look at the differences between these two technologies. (Crosslinking agent used in PVC coated fabric)

PVC coated fabric: In the production of artificial leather, plastic particles should first be heated and stirred into a paste, evenly coated on a T/C knitted fabric base according to the specified thickness, and then enter the foaming oven for foaming, so that it can adapt to the production of different products and different needs for softness.

PU coated fabric process: The production process of PU leather is more complex than that of PVC leather. Because the PU base fabric is canvas PU material with good tensile strength, it can not only be coated on the top of the base fabric, but also sandwiched in the middle, so the base fabric is invisible. PU leather has better physical properties than PVC leather, with good bending resistance, softness, tensile strength and breathability. (Crosslinking agent used in PVC coated fabric)

The difference between PVC coated fabric and PU coated fabric is relatively simple. In footwear, PVC leather is mainly used for linings or non-load-bearing parts. PU leather can be used for footwear uppers or load-bearing parts. In addition, from the edges, the base fabric of PU is much thicker than PVC, and PU feels softer compared to PVC, which feels harder.
