PU synthetic leather refers to a type of artificial leather with PU resin coatings applied and dried over the release paper and then transferred to the base cloth or wet-process substrate layer (BASE). PU synthetic leather is similar to genuine leather in terms of structure and performance. With a three-dimensional appearance, PU synthetic leather has superior durability, resilience, softness, tensile strength and solvent resistance. It can be cut, ground and processed like genuine leather to be air permeability and moisture permeability.

High-performance PU leather refers to PU synthetic leather using high-density nonwoven fabric as base cloth and featuring superior hydrolysis resistance, peel strength, tear strength, durability, air permeability and moisture permeability. High-performance PU leather is mainly used to make high-grade athletic shoes. In China, nearly 50% of the high-performance PU leather products are imported.
