Advantages1.Cost advantages : The raw material price is only one-fifth that of genuine leather, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production.
Disadvantages2.Physical properties are stable : Excellent acid and alkali resistance, waterproof performance (water absorption rate).
Applications3.Processing adaptability : Softness and hardness can be adjusted using plasticizers (Shore hardness 50A-90A), supporting special processes such as high-frequency welding.
