What are the commonly used materials for luggage?

With the continuous improvement of people's living and consumption levels, various types of luggage have become indispensable accessories around people.

According to changes in consumer taste, the materials of luggage are becoming more diverse.

1. PVC leather

PVC leather is a paste made by coating PVC resin, plasticizer, stabilizer and other additives on the fabric, or by overlaying a layer of PVC film, and then processed through a certain process. The product has high strength, easy processing, and low cost. Can be used for various bags, seat covers, linings, miscellaneous items, etc. But it has poor oil resistance and high temperature resistance, low tenderness, softness, and poor hand feel.

2. PU synthetic leather

PU synthetic leather is used to replace PVC synthetic leather, and its price is higher than PVC synthetic leather. In terms of chemical structure, it is closer to leather fabrics, and it does not require plasticizers to achieve soft properties, so it will not become hard or brittle. At the same time, it has the advantages of rich colors and diverse patterns, and the price is cheaper than leather fabrics, so it is popular among consumers.

The difference between PVC synthetic leather and PU synthetic leather can be distinguished by soaking a small piece of fabric in gasoline for half an hour, and then removing it. If it is PVC synthetic leather, it will become hard and brittle, while if it is PU synthetic leather, it will not.

3. Nylon

With the miniaturization of automobiles, the high-performance of electronic and electrical equipment, and the acceleration of lightweight mechanical equipment, the demand for nylon will be higher and greater. Nylon has high mechanical strength, good toughness, and high tensile and compressive strength. Nylon has strong absorption capacity for impact and stress vibration, and its impact strength is much higher than that of general plastics, and better than acetal resin. Nylon has a small coefficient of friction, a smooth surface, strong alkali resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for packaging materials such as fuel and lubricating oil.

4. Oxford cloth
