The artificial leather production process typically includes the following steps:
Raw Material Preparation: Gathering raw materials, typically including base materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane (PU), along with additives.
Raw Material Mixing: Mixing and heating the raw materials to uniformly blend them into a plastic mixture.
Extrusion: Extruding the plastic mixture through an extruder into a film.
Printing/Embossed: Printing or embossing is applied to the film surface to mimic the texture of natural leather.
Coating: Coating the film to increase wear resistance and water resistance.
Drying: Drying the coated film to solidify it.
Cutting and Fabrication: Cutting the product into desired sizes, followed by sewing, cutting, and other processing operations.
Quality Inspection: Quality inspection of the finished product to ensure it meets standards.
