Why is Xin Gen TPU leather better than other leather materials?
Xin Gen TPU leather is a type of artificial synthetic leather formed by extruding and hot-embossing a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) composition. It offers advantages such as a natural luster, a smooth hand feel, a realistic leather-like texture, eco-friendly, and an odor-free property.
Based on actual customer needs, it can be designed and combined with various fabrics such as woven fabric, knitted fabric, non-woven fabric, and microfiber to form TPU composite leather with different grain patterns and color effects. Xin Gen TPU Composite Leather Series can be widely applied in various fields such as automotive interiors, various types of furniture, bags, sports equipment, footwear, soft decorations, wearable products, and more.

This TPU leather boasts excellent resistance to wear, tearing, oil, and impact, as well as outstanding low-temperature performance. It is also an eco-friendly type of synthetic leather. Compared with genuine leather, it provides superior abrasion and scratch resistance, and is easier to clean and maintain. It outperforms PVC and PU leather in many aspects — offering excellent resilience, a wider hardness range, superior impact resistance and shock absorption, and maintaining its elasticity and flexibility even at –40 °C.
The TPU leather does not use any plasticizers, adhesives, organic solvents, or other chemical agents during the processing. The leather contains no pollutants or harmful residual substances. The entire manufacturing process is environmentally friendly, and the TPU material can be recycled and reused, making it a truly sustainable product.
