Semi-PU synthetic leather for sofa, furniture, bags and automotive applications — a cost-effective hybrid of PVC base layers and PU surface finishes. Specifications available on request.
Semi-PU leather is a hybrid synthetic leather that sits between full PU and PVC leather in both cost and performance. Fuding Lidu Leather supplies semi-PU leather for sofa and furniture, bags, footwear, and automotive applications.
What Is Semi-PU Leather?
“Semi-PU” is an industry term rather than a formal standard, so exact construction varies by manufacturer. In general, semi-PU leather combines a PVC-based base layer with a polyurethane surface layer, aiming to deliver a look and hand-feel closer to full PU leather at a lower cost. It is most often compared with the two materials it sits between:
| PVC leather | Semi-PU leather | Full PU leather | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | Lowest | Middle | Higher |
| Hand-feel | Stiffer | Closer to PU | Softest |
| Typical use | Budget upholstery, industrial | Sofa, furniture, mid-range bags | Fashion, footwear, premium interiors |
