Leather Seat: Don'T Take "Pigskin" As A Dermis

See the truth

Survey: dermis

When chatting with a dealer at 4S shop, the maintenance staff did not disclose that many of the so-called leather seats on the market were actually made of composite leather, so that the general consumers could hardly perceive them from appearance, so the merchants were posing as genuine cowhide.

It is reported that leather leather material of leather seats is basically made of cowhide, which is divided into three kinds: yellow cattle skin, buffalo skin and composite leather. The quality of the leather is the best. The leather seats with better quality are usually made of cowhide (the outer part of the cowhide).

Compared with this, the composite skin is much worse. It is often pressed by the leftover material, and then covered with PVC plastic film. In order to make the surface more textured, it will have a glue film on the surface and it will look smoother.

However, whether it is this composite leather or pig skin to pretend to be a leather seat, it is far less than the leather seat in elasticity and service life. Moreover, these inferior products can not withstand high temperature and exposure, and often appear cracks in less than a year. Compared with the leather seats with a service life of about 6 years, they are greatly reduced.

The real leather seats are real.

Knowing the price of seats, I had to start from the distribution center of auto supplies. I visited the Yongfu Road, and many of the manufacturers who sell auto supplies know that the leather market has been difficult to locate very accurately. The price is not conclusive. Some of them are getting better profits and often are shoddy and depressed prices. So we can often see that the price of a leather seat is less than 1000 yuan, but from the price point of view, this is absolutely tricky. "Leather seats decide not only this price," he said.

According to the insiders, a set of seats of 140 feet (5 to 120 feet to 140 feet) is calculated at the maximum price of 16 yuan per foot, the price is 140*16=2240 yuan, that is to say, the highest cost of a leather seat is 2240 yuan, and 2000 yuan is normal.

In addition, if you add Shanghai cotton, card strip, clip, broadband cloth, zipper, line and so on, these materials cost up to about 300 yuan, plus electricity and labor, and so on, a leather seat is about 4 hours, so the price of a leather seat will be around 2700 yuan.

If the profit is based on 200 yuan, the price of the terminal market will be almost 2900 yuan.

Generally speaking, the price of the two layers of leather is less than 1000 yuan, the first layer is about 2000 yuan, and the imported leather is about 3000 yuan. In this price range, it is quite reasonable (of course, the price will fluctuate due to regional factors).

Misunderstanding: online price seeking entity store purchase

As for the control of product price, many consumers are now checking the general price on the Internet, then they go to the goods market or 4S shop to bargain. However, this method is not feasible for buying leather seats.

Because there is no uniform standard for leather seats, and there is no uniform standard for grading leather leather. In the face of the market mix, the price varies with different business processes, environment and specifications. If the price is compared with the entity price, the price will be tempted by low price, and the fake leather will be purchased.

How to buy leather seats

To see whether leather seats are "substitute", one of the most practical methods is to find the edge of the surface, nail the surface sprayed layer, and the skin will be lifted like solidified glue, then it is represented as fake dermis, because it is made from the pulp made of crushed pulp, and the adhesion between the coating and it is not enough.

In addition, in the purchase, the car seat leather can not choose too soft leather, it should be slightly stiffer than the furniture skin. Generally, the thickness of the automobile special leather is 1 to 1.2 millimeters. Too thick leather is not only difficult to process, but also does not look good after it is installed.

Check the back of leather

The biggest difference between leather seats and imitation leather is the surface of leather, so when identifying, it is best to start from the back.

There is a natural short fiber on the back of the car leather seat, which can not be scratching with fingernails, and the back of the imitation leather is generally clean and light, with no hair fiber.

Look at shape and texture

The dermis usually shows irregular ellipses, and shows that the texture is irregular and intermittent, while the synthetic leather is rectangular, and the plane is very regular.

In addition, the surface of the dermis is generally not smooth, and the pit is full of holes. This means that its skin permeability is good, and the fake leather is generally smooth because of its film processing in later stage.

Smell smell

The taste of the dermis is very difficult to eliminate in a short time, because the cow hair itself has this smell, so the dermis often has a natural taste, and the fake skin is synthetic, and smells will smell of plastic.

If it is identified by the method of burning, the leather will have charred hair after burning, while the fake leather has strong chemical taste.

How to maintain leather seats

After sitting for a long time, leather seats should be patted at the seating area and the edges so as to restore the original position and reduce the slight sag due to mechanical fatigue.

Leather is a natural material that requires simple and basic care.

It is recommended to wipe with distilled water and soft cloth every week, once a month with colourless shoe wax or moisturizing grease to maintain (not using waxy care products).

If you overturn the beverage on the leather, dry it immediately with clean cloth or sponge and wipe it with a damp cloth to make it dry naturally.

If it is found that there are stains on the sofa, it should be cleaned immediately with leather cleaner. If there is no leather cleaner, a clean white towel can be used to smear a little alcohol and smear stains, then dry with a little wet towel, and then use a protective agent to nurse.
