As a synthetic leather material manufacturer, FUZHOU provides application-oriented synthetic leather solutions for raincoats, technical outerwear, and waterproof protective garments, supporting both high-performance and cost-controlled production needs.
Suitable Synthetic Leather Materials for Rainwear
01.Solvent-based Synthetic PU Leather for Raincoat Waterproof
Solvent-Based PU leather (also known as synthetic leather) is a high-performance synthetic leather material that has a similar appearance and texture to natural leather, It is made by high-performance resin and Organic Solvents, and after a complex processing process, it finally forms a soft, durable, breathable and wear-resistant material. It supports various patterns according to customer requirments. It’s widely used for high-performance rainwear and technical outerwear- such as Mountaineering & Hardshell Jackets,Sailing & Offshore Gear and Waterproof Industrial Workwear
02.Water-based Synthetic PU Leather for Raincoat Waterproof
Water-Based PU leather is a specific and increasingly important type of synthetic leather that uses water as the primary solvent in its manufacturing process, as opposed to traditional organic solvents, it does support various printing techniques such as digital printing, screen printing, etc . Due to its good environmental performancen and odorless properties, great flame retardancy and excellent breathability, it’s highly recommended for products with higher invironmental requirements, such as High-end apparel,Raincoat ect. Compared to Solvent- Based PU, it is more eco-friendly, more comfortable and safer, but also costlier.
3. Semi-PU Synthetic Leather for Raincoat Waterproof
Semi-PU Sythetic leather is made from polyvinyl chloride resin, it is a cost-effective hybrid that uses a thick, durable PVC base for structure and a thinner, nicer-feeling PU top layer for improved aesthetics and hand-feel. It is a practical compromise for products that need more durability than pure PU (at a given price point) and a better feel than pure PVC. It’s widely used in rainwear and
