What is PU Leather?
PU leather, or polyurethane leather, is a high-quality synthetic leather made by applying a polyurethane coating to a fabric backing, creating a material that closely replicates the look and texture of genuine leather. Widely used in commercial upholstery, automotive interiors, marine applications, and fashion goods, PU leather is valued for its durability, consistency, and ease of maintenance. Unlike natural leather, PU leather offers uniform color and texture, strong resistance to wear, moisture, and staining, and a more cost-effective, animal-free alternative, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial design projects where performance and aesthetics are equally important.
