Multi Field Application of High Quality Pu Synthetic Leather

In modern manufacturing, the choice of materials directly affects the performance, appearance and market acceptance of products. As consumers’ demand for environmental protection, comfort and functionality increases, PU synthetic leather, as an environmentally friendly polymer synthetic material, is gradually replacing traditional natural leather and is widely used in many fields such as footwear, furniture, automobiles, sports equipment, and pet products.

PU synthetic leather not only has the softness, breathability and beautiful appearance of natural leather, but also has outstanding advantages such as excellent processing performance, hydrolysis resistance, antibacterial, wear resistance, and customizability. It can also realize the environmental protection concept of no animal source, which is in line with the current trend of green manufacturing.

As a professional PU leather manufacturer, Yudeng has emerged in many application scenarios with its strong R&D capabilities and environmentally friendly production concepts. This article will analyze in detail the core technology, main application scenarios, material recommendations and environmental protection direction of Yudeng’s high-quality PU synthetic leather to help buyers, brand owners and product designers make scientific and reasonable material selection decisions.

Technical advantages and material basis of Yudeng PU synthetic leather

The reason why Yudeng’s PU synthetic leather products are favored by customers is its extreme pursuit of material performance and continuous optimization of manufacturing processes. Yudeng uses high-quality polyurethane elastomers as raw materials, supplemented by environmentally friendly additives and modification technologies, so that its products show significant advantages in the following aspects:

Strong physical properties:
Yudeng’s PU synthetic leather generally has high peel strength (≥2.5N/cm), tensile strength can reach 35~50MPa, and wear resistance has no obvious epidermal damage after more than 20,000 friction tests, ensuring long-term use and not easy to break.

Diversified functions:

Good visual and tactile performance:
It can simulate the particles, texture and color of natural leather, and even achieve special effects such as high-gloss mirror, matte frosting, and suede.

Sustainable material structure:
Yudeng’s water-based PU series does not contain DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide), complies with EU REACH and ROHS environmental standards, and can also provide customized solutions containing bio-based raw materials.

Advanced process equipment:
Equipped with German Rexroth closed-loop tension control system, automatic constant temperature foaming reactor, laser texture transfer equipment, etc., to ensure that the performance and appearance of each meter of leather are highly consistent.

Core application scenarios of PU synthetic leather in five major fields

Shoe material industry

Yudeng’s PU synthetic leather is widely used in the shoe material industry for multiple parts such as uppers, tongues, linings, insoles, and decorative surfaces. Its products are particularly suitable for sports shoes, fashion casual shoes, children’s shoes, slippers, etc.

The PU materials required for shoe materials need to have high softness and folding resistance, and at the same time need to have good antibacterial and mildew resistance. Yudeng’s high-elastic Q-elastic PU leather has been tested for 50,000 bends without cracks, suitable for various dynamic wearing scenarios.

For example, a well-known domestic sports brand uses a large amount of Yudeng PU material as the outer layer in its jogging series, which not only improves the comfort of the product, but also effectively controls costs and enhances the environmental protection selling point.

Furniture and sofa manufacturing

In the manufacturing of sofas, bedside soft bags, seats and other furniture, Yudeng’s high-end PU synthetic leather is popular for its thick, skin-friendly, waterproof and flame-retardant properties.

Yudeng has launched a 1.2mm~1.6mm thickness PU leather series customized for the furniture industry, which has both leather feel and support, good scratch resistance and oil resistance, easy to clean, and suitable for home and commercial use.

Its leather surface treatment can achieve a variety of styles such as frosted texture, retro texture, high-gloss leather texture, etc., to meet the personalized customization needs of mid-to-high-end sofa customers. More importantly, its flame-retardant PU leather has passed the CA117 and BS5852 fire protection standard tests, providing safety guarantees for public space use.

Automotive interior and transportation

The automotive industry has extremely stringent requirements for materials, requiring them to be environmentally friendly and non-toxic, as well as light-resistant, heat-resistant, and low in VOC release.

The automotive PU leather launched by Yudeng has excellent anti-aging ability (can withstand temperature cycle tests from -30°C to +80°C), and its volatile organic compound (VOC) release is less than 0.2mg/m3, which is far below the industry limit standard.

It is widely used in steering wheel coverings, door trims, seat leather covers, headrests and other parts, and is suitable for new energy vehicles and high-end commercial vehicle custom modification factories. Its low odor, zero formaldehyde, wear resistance, and anti-fading properties are favored by industry designers.

Sporting goods and yoga equipment

With the rise of the national fitness craze, sports equipment has put forward higher standards for the performance of leather materials.

Yudeng provides exclusive PU solutions for products such as yoga mats, sports pull bands, boxing sandbags, and dumbbell coverings. The products have excellent tear resistance, resilience, and grip and anti-slip effects, and are produced with food-grade environmentally friendly raw materials, which are safe and odorless.

For example, one of its highly elastic and non-slip PU yoga mat materials has passed 100% water washing tests and sweat durability tests, meeting the needs of high-intensity sports scenes, and has been favored by multiple overseas fitness brands for ODM orders.

Pet products and emerging consumer products

The pet industry has continued to grow in recent years, and consumers are more cautious about the material selection of pet products. Yudeng’s pet-specific PU leather products have the characteristics of strong bite resistance, waterproof and anti-fouling, soft and skin-friendly.

It is widely used in pet mattresses, traction ropes, pet backpacks, protective gear and other fields, and is particularly suitable for e-commerce customized product development. Yudeng products have passed the EU EN71 children’s toy safety testing standards, are non-toxic and odorless, and are suitable for long-term close contact with pets.

In addition, its PU materials also perform well in fast-moving consumer products such as mobile phone cases, headphone bags, stationery bags, and trendy small bags, helping customers achieve product differentiation positioning.

How to choose the right PU synthetic leather for different industries? Yudeng’s professional advice

Yudeng has summarized a set of scientific material selection solutions for customers’ reference in many years of service:

Determine the usage scenario: If there are many dynamic bends, choose PU for shoes with high folding resistance; if flame retardant function is required, choose flame retardant leather for furniture or automobiles.

Clear performance requirements: For example, is antibacterial required? Is it used in high temperature environment? Is it in long-term contact with skin? Yudeng will recommend suitable raw materials and coating solutions.

Customization process:

• Provide basic specifications (color, texture, thickness)
• Yudeng engineers assist in confirming material solutions
• Proofing verification
• Small batch trial production → formal order

Recommended tools and testing methods:

• Peel strength tester: Test interlayer adhesion
• Tensile tester: Evaluate durability
• QUV aging tester: Test anti-ultraviolet aging ability
• VOC detector: Test environmental protection level

Third-party testing suggestions: Encourage customers to introduce authoritative testing agencies such as SGS and TÜV in the first cooperation to enhance project trust.
