What Is Faux Leather?

Engineered Synthetic Leather for Modern Manufacturing

Faux leather is an engineered leather-like material made through coated or laminated surface construction rather than natural animal hide. It may also be called synthetic leather, artificial leather, leatherette, vinyl leather, PVC leather or PU leather depending on the material structure and market language.

For professional buyers, faux leather should not be selected only by appearance. Important buying factors include surface grain, hand feel, coating type, backing strength, thickness tolerance, abrasion performance, color consistency, flexibility, cleanability, hydrolysis direction, flame-retardant pathway and the final manufacturing process.

DERFLEX helps buyers move from a simple “faux leather” search to a more accurate material specification matched to the real application.

Different faux leather systems serve different performance and market needs. DERFLEX can help select the correct material before bulk production.

Material Type	Best For / Typical Advantages / Buyer Notes
PVC Leather	Good for upholstery, marine seating, commercial furniture and easy-clean applications. It is often selected for durability, water resistance and practical cost control.
PU Leather	Good for bags, furniture, decorative interiors and products requiring softer touch. It can provide a refined hand feel and attractive surface appearance.
