Luggage fabrics include genuine leather, canvas, Oxford cloth, etc. However, the most widely used ones are PU and PVCOxford cloth. So, how to distinguish whether Oxford cloth for luggage is PU or PVC?
The difference between PU and PVC:
1. In terms of cost, PU is more than twice as expensive as PVC, and good PU is 2-3 times more expensive than PVC.
2. PU is far superior to PVC in terms of external thickness, texture, and feel, as well as internal fastness, stretchability, and toughness.
3. Both PU and PVC are composed of two parts, including their own ingredients and base fabric (some are also called base fabric or back glue). The thickness of the PU itself is generally 12.5px to 25px. The thicker, the better the quality. The thickness of the base fabric layer is 0.5-20px. The base fabric of PU is generally velvet, which is thicker and has dense velvet, while the base fabric of PVC is thin, not to mention very sparse, and some have no velvet at all.
4. PU is generally divided into three grades: high, medium and low, based on thickness and texture. The thicker, the better, and the more realistic the texture, the better. PVC, which is slightly better and softer, can be used as fabrics, but poorer hard PVC can only be used as auxiliary materials.
PVC Oxford cloth is made by coating the Oxford cloth with PVC-containing glue. The surface is smoother and 100% waterproof. This Oxford cloth is waterproof, mildew-proof and cold-resistant. Aging resistance, anti-static and other properties. In actual use, PVC materials add stabilizers, lubricants, antistatic agents, auxiliary processing agents, colorants, anti-impact agents and other additives. They have non-flammability, aging resistance, high strength, climate change resistance and excellent Geometric stability. PVC is highly resistant to oxidants, reducing agents and strong acids.
