Polyurethane is a universal material, as it is used in various fields, including the production of bags. It contains synthetic polymers. The properties of the fabric have many similarities with natural leather.
What kind of fabric is polyurethane?
Polyurethane is a synthetically produced polymer. Industrial production of the material began in 1937. Its composition is foamed plastic. The quality of Russian raw materials is superior to imported analogues.
Synthetic material can be liquid or solid. For its processing, different methods are used: extrusion, pressing, casting. Polyurethane products are found in various industries. This is due to good performance characteristics.
Important! Bags made from polyurethane are light, durable, and elastic.
How durable and wear-resistant is it?
Polyurethane is resistant to mechanical damage. Over time, it does not wear off or form cracks. These factors determine the long service life of such bags.Durable products can withstand frost and high temperatures, so the accessory can be safely worn in winter and taken to the beach in summer.
Material characteristics
Synthetic fabric is manufactured using the latest technological developments using modern equipment. Thanks to this, the material has high performance characteristics. The advantages of finished products are much greater than the disadvantages.
Advantages
Artificial fabric occupies a middle position between genuine leather and artificial materials in the production of bags. For this reason, the products have the characteristics of both bases.
Pros of polyurethane bags:
- environmental safety, do not cause any harm to the environment;
- safe for people, do not cause allergic reactions or irritation;
- high wear resistance, no damage, cracks or abrasions occur during operation;
- pleasant texture, such an accessory will be warm to the touch;
- due to porosity, the product allows air and steam to pass through;
- ability to withstand low temperatures without losing its properties;
- UV resistance;
- a large selection of models of different colors and textures that resemble natural leather;
- Easy maintenance that requires only a damp cloth.
Flaws
The disadvantages of a polyurethane bag include the impossibility of repair. If the material is cut, it is impossible to restore it by grinding, glue and other methods. Such an accessory can only be thrown away, so it is important to use such products carefully.
