Several common physical properties and test methods of leather

Leather is a strong and durable material made of animal skins through a series of physical and chemical processing. It has good thermal stability, heat resistance and cold resistance, breathability and moisture desorption, and good The coloring ability is well received by people. Leather has an irreplaceable position in people's daily life, and the clothing and daily necessities made from it have been used by people for a long time. 


With the improvement of science and technology, tannery technology has been continuously developed, and new materials have been successfully developed one after another. With the progress of society and economic development, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, making the demand for leather products more and more prosperous. In the context of economic globalization, the laws and regulations on leather and luggage in various countries are constantly being introduced and new, and consumers are paying more and more attention to the quality and safety of leather. 


 In order to meet consumers' increasing requirements for high-quality leather and improve the performance indicators of leather products, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of its common physical properties and test methods in order to better complete the test, provide accurate data, and guide production practices.

Water Resistance Testing Standards and Methods
Textile water resistance testing evaluates fabrics through three primary methods: hydrostatic pressure (measuring water penetration resistance), spray rating (assessing surface water repellency), and water repellency tests (quantifying water absorption). Hydrostatic pressure testing is critical for high-performance applications like outdoor apparel and diving gear, while spray rating evaluates surface staining for rainwear. Water repellency tests, such as the Bundesmann method, determine overall
