Which is better, second layer cowhide or first layer cowhide? What's the difference?

Cowhide products are very common materials and most popular with consumers, but we usually hear two-layer cowhide and first layer cowhide when buying cowhide products. Do you know which is better? What's the difference between second layer cowhide and first layer cowhide? Let's have a look

Which is better, second layer cowhide or first layer cowhide

The first layer of cowhide is better and the price is more expensive.

The head skin is directly processed from the raw skin of various animals, and the upper part with tight fibrous tissue is processed into various head skin. The surface has small pores, clear texture and good natural characteristics. It is not only wear-resistant, but also has four functions of good air permeability, heat dissipation, sweat absorption and moisture resistance. It belongs to superior leather material, and the price is generally expensive. The shoes are durable and long life.

The two-layer cowhide is made of thick leather by slicing machine. Basically, it is reprocessed with the leftover materials of the first layer of skin. It is a two-layer part with loose fiber structure, which is processed by spraying chemical materials or covering PVC and Pu films. The second layer cowhide has poor air permeability, low price and high recycling rate. After using for a period of time, the leather will be strong and seriously broken, which is worse than the durability of the first layer of cow leather.

Difference between two-layer cowhide and first layer cowhide:

1. Different location

The first layer of cowhide is the first layer of skin on the cow, which is located at the outermost layer of the cowhide surface.

The second layer of cowhide is the second layer of cowhide in which the cowhide is crosscut into two or even three layers.

2. Different materials

The first layer of cowhide is the real first layer of cowhide without other materials.

The second layer of cowhide is based on the cowhide, and then covered with PVC and PU materials for re bonding to make leather.

3. Different characteristics

The first layer of cowhide is composed of a dense and thin fiber layer and a slightly loose transition layer closely connected with it. It has the characteristics of good strength, elasticity and process plasticity.

Two layer cowhide has only loose fiber tissue layer, which can be used to make leather products only after spraying chemical raw materials or polishing. It maintains certain characteristics of natural elasticity and process plasticity.

4. Different uses

The first layer cowhide is better than the second layer cowhide, and the cost is higher. The first layer of cowhide is mainly used for the production of leather shoes, leather clothes and high-grade leather articles.

The two-layer cowhide is mainly used for making mobile phone, computer leather cases, bags, etc.
