What is the difference between first layer cowhide and second layer cowhide? Let's take a closer look and see what the differences are between them.
1. The difference between first layer cowhide and second layer cowhide
1. Different fiber densities
Everyone knows that the first layer of cowhide is the first layer of cowhide from the cow. Therefore, the skin made from it has the delicate texture of the original cowhide, but the second layer of cowhide is different. Most of the second layer of cowhide is mainly It comes from two or even three layers of cowhide cross-cut, so its cortex appears rough and hard.
2.The thickness is different
The thickness of the first layer of cowhide is generally about 1.3 mm, while the thickness of the second layer of cowhide is about 1.68 mm, so the material of the first layer of cowhide looks more delicate.
3. Different production processes
The production process of the first layer of leather is very exquisite and does not add too many substances, but the second layer of cowhide is different. It needs to be sprayed with some chemical materials or added with some PVC and PU film processing combinations. , so the second-layer cowhide leather appears harder and not soft enough.
Since cowhide is selected from different parts of the cow, the texture of the leather produced must be different. The first layer of cowhide feels smooth, soft and comfortable, but the second layer of cowhide feels slightly rough. A little bit, it feels smooth and comfortable to the touch.
4.The prices are different
Generally, the price of leather goods made of first-layer cowhide is relatively high, and the material of the leather goods is also durable and will not peel off easily. However, the price of second-layer cowhide is relatively cheaper due to its lower cortical content. , it will burst or break after being used for a long time.
2. Which is better, the first layer of skin or the second layer of skin?
Through the introduction of the above points, the quality of the first-layer cowhide must be good, because most of the first-layer cowhide is directly processed, and the cortical fiber tissue produced by it is high-density, delicate, textured, and has It has the most natural characteristics, but the second-layer cowhide is a split layer of cowhide. Almost all second-layer cowhide is made by adding some polyethylene and other materials during the production. Therefore, the texture of the second-layer cowhide is better than that of the first-layer cowhide. The difference is quite a bit, and the breathability of the second-layer cowhide is not good, so it is prone to cracks and other phenomena.
The above is an introduction to first-layer cowhide and second-layer cowhide. I hope it will be of some help to you. Thank you all for reading and paying attention.
