How do artificial materials improve the texture and durability of PV Fur through tanning? ​

I. Reference and inheritance of traditional tanning process​
The traditional fur tanning process is a key step in transforming animal hides into leather with soft, durable and corrosion-resistant properties. In this process, pickling and fatliquoring are indispensable. Pickling can adjust the pH of the leather, allowing the subsequent tanning agent to penetrate better; fatliquoring gives the leather a soft feel and good flexibility. The production of PV Fur cleverly borrows these core concepts and treats its base material similar to tanning, thus opening the first step to improve quality. ​
II. The secret of pretreatment of PV fur base material​
The base material of PV fur is mainly composed of synthetic fibers, and special pretreatment is required before entering the main production processes such as dyeing and cutting. The first step is the soaking stage, in which the base material will be placed in a carefully formulated chemical solution. These chemicals are not selected at random, but are developed specifically for the characteristics of synthetic fibers after a lot of experiments and research. The active ingredients in the agent can react with the fiber molecules and change the physical structure of the fiber. Through this effect, the relatively rigid synthetic fibers gradually become soft, and the bonding mode between the fibers also changes, which greatly improves the overall flexibility of the base material. This soft and elastic property not only makes the subsequent processing operations smoother, but also brings a better tactile experience to the final product, making PV fur closer to the soft texture of natural fur. ​
3. The optimization effect of pretreatment on subsequent processes​
After soaking, the base material needs to undergo a series of treatments to further enhance its tolerance to subsequent processes. In the subsequent dyeing process, the dye needs to fully penetrate into the fiber to achieve a uniform and lasting color effect. The pretreated base material has significantly enhanced its adsorption and carrying capacity for dyes due to the change in fiber structure. This means that during the dyeing process, the dye can be combined with the fiber more quickly and fully, reducing the waste of dyes, and also avoiding the color difference problem caused by uneven dye penetration. For processing processes such as cutting and splicing, the pretreated base material also shows better plasticity. During the cutting process, the base material will not have uneven cutting edges due to being too rigid, nor will it break during splicing due to lack of toughness, ensuring that PV fur products can present a delicate appearance and good structural stability. ​
Fourth, the advantages of comparison with traditional tanning processes​
Comparing the similar tanning process of PV fur with the traditional fur tanning process, its uniqueness can be seen more clearly. Traditional fur tanning faces animal rawhide, whose material has natural complexity and differences. The fiber structure, thickness, water content, etc. of each animal skin are different, which requires the tanning process to be personalized according to different leather materials, which is difficult to operate. The base material of PV fur is synthetic fiber produced through industrialization, and its material properties are relatively stable and uniform, which makes the process of similar tanning process can be standardized. During the production process, the concentration of chemical agents, soaking time, treatment temperature and other parameters can be controlled more accurately, so as to ensure that each batch of PV fur base materials can achieve similar treatment effects, effectively improving the stability of product quality and production efficiency.​
V. Changes in fiber structure from a microscopic perspective​
From a microscopic perspective, the fiber structure of the PV fur base material has changed significantly before and after the tanning process. Observation under an electron microscope shows that the surface of the synthetic fiber before treatment is relatively smooth, the fibers are closely arranged and lack flexibility; after treatment, fine textures appear on the fiber surface, which increases the surface area of ​​the fiber, which is conducive to the attachment of dyes and subsequent processing. The distance between the fibers has increased, and the combination between them has become looser but not less tough. This structural change directly brings about the improvement of the physical properties of the material, such as softness, elasticity and tensile resistance, laying a solid foundation for the texture and durability of PV fur. ​
VI. Excellent performance in practical applications​
In practical applications, PV fur treated with a similar tanning process has shown excellent performance. In terms of texture, whether it is used to make fashionable coats or warm home blankets, consumers can intuitively feel its soft and smooth touch, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller compared with natural fur. In terms of durability, PV fur products treated by this process can withstand frequent friction, folding and washing during daily use. In the friction test, after multiple frictions, the surface fluff remains neat, without large-scale hair loss and pilling; in the folding test, even after multiple foldings, no obvious creases are left, and it can quickly restore flatness; in terms of cleaning, after multiple washings, its color and texture can remain stable, without fading, hardening and other problems, greatly extending the service life of the product. ​
VII. Far-reaching impact on the fur industry​
This unique tanning process is not only of great significance to PV fur products themselves, but also has a positive impact on the entire fur industry. It promotes the development of artificial fur technology and provides reference and reference for the production of other types of artificial fur. With the continuous enhancement of environmental awareness, consumers' demand for artificial fur is growing. Innovations in similar tanning processes have enabled artificial fur to continuously improve in quality, gradually narrowing the gap with natural fur, providing consumers with more high-quality and environmentally friendly choices, and promoting the transformation of the fur industry towards sustainable development.
