With the advancement of automotive industry the new standards for materials used in the interior maintaining its upper end quality have risen. The insides of cars must be beautifully designed but have to also be able to withstand quite the abuse. Here at Cigno Leather, we comprehend that bulk buyers have different preferences when it comes to selecting between widely used alternatives such as PU leather, Alcantara and leather for instance. In this article we will focus on the PU leather properties and discuss its use in automotive interiors along with comparing its cost effectiveness towards other materials which have a history of not performing economically well. 

A new Approach to PU Leather in Automotive interiors the Advantages of Suede and Alcantara Leather

As a synthetic cloth impregnated with polyurethane, this type of leather also known as PU, has found new application in the automotive sector due to its adaptability. There’s no denying that deep-set features PU leather contains fundamentally make it a sensible choice in the car interior space. The industrial-grade spin fabric PU leather has along scaling of an 8,000 rub test fabric’s capacity allowing it maintain its form throughout daily usage of car interiors. In addition, PU leather offers natural leather look but at an affordable price, which makes it easy to source for bulk buyers who want alternatives that are both cost-effective and high quality.

PU Leather vs Alcantara: Wear Resistance and Practicality

In softness and feeling, Alcantara is quite luxurious, however, PU leather seems to be its superior when it comes to wear and maintenance. Due to its synthetic nature made from joining polyester and polyurethane, Alcantara fabric is more susceptible to abrasion and staining when compared to a leather material which is more resilient. The leatherette features waterproof and stain resistant characteristics which makes it easy to clean and preferred in car interiors where high traffic is anticipated. Also, due to the PU leather’s fade resistant properties, the interiors of the cars also do not fade away over time, thus reducing their replacement life significantly.

PU Leather and Traditional Leather: Durability Without Compromise

For centuries, traditional leather has always been expensive but more or less worth the price since it has a premium feel and stronger structural integrity, albeit being comparatively high maintenance. In terms of feel and looks, PU leather is more or less similar to its counterparts but it is easier to care for while offering better resistance against tearing. Scuffs and scratches are very well prevented by PU leather as would be required in automotive upholstery and trims which experiences a lot of constant rubbing. What’s more is that conditioning is not required on PU leather as opposed to real leather, thus satisfying end buyers seeking long lasting and relatively low care materials for car parts.

Cigno Leather's offerings of PU leather products ensure optimization as they provide decent strength and wear resistance while giving an eye appealing look ideal for use in automobile interiors. Also bulk buyers will find PU leather very convenient and economical as it can substitute both Alcantara and leather satisfying the needs of aesthetically pleasing materials ideal in high usage areas.
