    What is PVC artificial leather? The full name of Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) is Polyvinylchlorid. The main ingredient is polyvinyl chloride, and other ingredients are added to enhance its heat resistance, toughness and ductility. It is a synthetic material that is loved, popular and widely used in the world today. Its global usage ranks second among various synthetic materials.

    According to statistics, in 1995 alone, the production of PVC in Europe was about 5 million tons, while its consumption was 5.3 million tons. In Germany, PVC production and consumption average 1.4 million tons. PVC is being produced and applied worldwide with a growth rate of 4%.


    In recent years, the growth of PVC in Southeast Asia has been particularly significant. This is due to the urgent need for infrastructure construction in Southeast Asian countries. Among the materials that can produce three-dimensional surface films, PVC is the most suitable material. PVC can be divided into soft PVC and hard PVC. Among them, hard PVC accounts for about 2/3 of the market, and soft PVC accounts for 1/3. Soft PVC is generally used on the floor, ceiling, and the surface of leather. However, because soft PVC contains softeners (which is also the difference between soft PVC and hard PVC), it is easy to become brittle and difficult to store, so its use is limited. Hard PVC does not contain softener, so it has good flexibility, easy to form, not easy to brittle, non-toxic and non-polluting, long storage time, so it has great development and application value. Hereinafter are referred to as PVC.


    The essence of PVC is a vacuum blister film, which is used for surface packaging of various panels, so it is also called decorative film, adhesive film, and is used in many industries such as building materials, packaging, and medicine. Among them, the building materials industry accounts for the largest proportion, 60%, followed by the packaging industry, as well as several other small-scale applications.
