Microfiber Vegan Leather
Manufacturing Process
When it comes to constructing a house, a lot depends on the architecture, labor, materials, with the foundation being the most integral part.
Similarly, the quality of a material also depends on its foundational structure, including the composition and quality of the material base/backer. However, other artificial leather products such as PU/PVC do not accurately simulate the quality of cowhide and real leather due to the lack of backer’s fibrous structure.
SPINNING & CREATING YARNS
PA6 & PE beads are mixed and put into a machine under high temperature and pressure to create long ultrafine yarns whose diameter is 1/20 that of silk yarns.
*Note*: For recycled and bio-based products, recycled or biomass-derived raw materials are used.
CUTTING YARNS
Long yarns are cut into small pieces and arranged using the non-woven technology to create microfiber layers.
CREATING BASE/BACKER
Long yarns are cut into shorter ones, cross-lapped, and carded using non-woven technology to create layers of fibers.
The microfiber layers are then stacked and put continuously onto one another. Under a needle machine, they form the structure of microfiber substrate.
EMBEDDING PU
The microfiber base is dipped in PU, making it absorb the new substance with the goal of enhancing elasticity, stretching, and creating a flexible foundation for the material.
DISSOLVING & REMOVING PE
LDPE polyester will be removed from the microfiber base, so that the microfiber base is softer and thinner and tightly bonded by PU.
The microfiber base process is completed using extra steps such as dehumidifying, oil absorbing, drying and crumbling.
CREATING SURFACE FINISHES
Microfiber base is buffed to make a smooth surface to create microfiber suede
Microfiber base covered with PU coatings creates products similar to real leather with various surface finishes.
