Faux Leather Testing

Faux leather, also known as synthetic leather, is a petroleum-based alternative to genuine leather. Faux leather is soft to the touch, and it is water-resistant. Synthetic leathers are used a great deal in the production of clothing, accessories, and upholstery. There are different types of faux leather, including PU leather, PVC leather, leatherette, and vegetable oil leather. Faux leather is a direct replacement of leather, used for the same applications for which genuine leather is used. For instance, upholstery is one of the most common applications of faux leather. Sofas, car seats, chairs, and coffee tables all commonly feature synthetic leather coverings.

STEMart provides comprehensive faux leather testing services to provide inspection reports that meet relevant regulations and international standards, thus proving the quality and safety of faux leather products.
