What's the Difference of normal PU and Solvent Free PU Leather?

Discover the Difference: Normal PU vs. Solvent-Free PU Leather

Normal PU leather is widely used for its versatility and cost efficiency. It is typically made by applying a polyurethane coating onto a fabric base, creating a flexible material with a smooth, leather-like look and feel. In conventional production, PU resins are often processed with the help of chemical solvents, which may contribute to higher VOC emissions and stronger odor during manufacturing and finishing.

Solvent-Free PU leather takes PU to a more sustainable level. Instead of relying on organic solvents, solvent-free technology uses a cleaner manufacturing process designed to significantly reduce VOC emissions and environmental impact. This makes it a preferred option for brands and projects that prioritize eco-friendly materials, indoor air quality, and ESG-aligned sourcing.
