Identification method of belt: visual identification method of belt
Clear texture can be seen on the leather surface of cowhide belt, but the texture will be different, because the leather of cattle is different in different parts, and there are animal fibers. On the contrary, the fake skin has no pores and the texture is basically the same.

When buying, we can touch it with our hands. When we cross the belt with our fingers, the appearance of leather feels a little astringent and textured, while the appearance of artificial leather feels smooth and has no good ductility when rubbed.
Belt identification method: belt odor identification method
Cowhide belts will have a heavy fur smell if they are genuine leather. Even if it is treated in the factory, the smell is obvious, while the fake skin is mostly plastic and has no fur smell. You can also identify leather goods such as purses in this way.
Identification method of belt: identification method of belt combustion
Some cut a small piece of belt from the belt head and light it. Leather emits white smoke after burning, while fake leather is black. Because the main components of dermis and human hair can be turned into protein, it will have the smell of burnt hair after burning; After the cowhide is completely burned, the crumbs can be kneaded into powder, while the crumbs of fake leather are lumpy.
Other ways to distinguish belts
Dermal is the raw skin stripped from cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, deer or other animals. Leather with various characteristics, strength, feel, color and pattern is made by tanning in leather factory, which is an essential material for modern leather products.
We can clearly see from the figure that the belt buckle is removed, and the 1 and 4 layers outside the belt are coated. What is a coating? It is to coat a layer of film on the surface of dermis (animal fiber), so as to achieve smooth and delicate belt surface and more grade. Suit belts are generally made of coated leather. The second and third layers are animal fibers, that is, dermis. If you buy a leather belt, then the second floor is made of leather.
Leather-like leather belt is usually a composite made of fabric as the base material and coated with synthetic resin and various plastic additives. Usually, people are used to using PVC resin as raw material to produce artificial leather called PVC artificial leather (artificial leather for short); The artificial leather made of PU resin is called PU artificial leather (PU leather for short); Artificial leather made of PU resin and non-woven fabrics is called PU synthetic leather. They are actually a kind of plastic products similar to leather. Usually, the fabric is used as the substrate, and a layer of resin mixture is coated or pasted on it, then heated and plasticized, and then rolled, flattened or embossed to obtain the product.
As can be seen from the figure, both the outer layer and the inner layer are imitation leather, and the yarn can be clearly seen. The middle layer is recycled leather, which is filled like shredded paper. This is a typical belt.
