Talk:Artificial leather

Second paragraph confusion
I literally have no idea what it's talking about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.119.164 (talk) 04:05, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Not to be confused
If artificial leather is not to be confused with pleather, why is the latter link circular? Jim.henderson (talk) 02:26, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess there was once a separate "pleather" topic. I've replaced the circular link with a link to the Pleather section of the page. 82.73.220.144 (talk) 14:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Leatherette
I think there should be a link to leatherette but not sure of where the best place would be for it on this page. Thoughts? Akerbeltz (talk) 15:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * How about under "See Also"? -- Avocado (talk) 23:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * >.< of course ... thanks. --Akerbeltz (talk) 00:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Merger
I am proposing to close the merger between Artificial leather and vegan leather. This merger was proposed in February 2008 and there has been no opposition. Vegan leather will be a subcatagory of artificial leather. The reason for the merger is because vegan leather is not a broad enough topic to be a unique page. --DivaNtrainin (talk) 01 July 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I'm proposing a large merger of all of the different types of artificial leather into the section types. Many of these pages are small and orphaned. Having them in one place would be useful. -- Aronzak (talk) 05:22, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Origin
It's never mentioned (I think) that naugahyde came from Naugatuck, CT. The old Uniroyal plant was also used for part of the "War of the Worlds" movie shooting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Naugyhs (talk • contribs) 00:44, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The first paragraph of that article says so. Jim.henderson (talk) 13:52, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Veganline.com
The external link to Veganline.com is only minimally relevant to the article. If no-one objects, I might remove it. Z57N (talk) 10:23, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Corfam no more?
I was in the U.S. Navy from 1974 to 1984 and Reserves till 1987. Most or all of that time Corfams were available for us to purchase. Of course, that doesn't mean Dupont still made them, but it makes the claim of a 1971 termination suspect.

Mobile phone pic needs correction
The phones aren't covered with leather like material. The box is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juiceman74 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

written like advertisement
this is written like an advertisement for "muleather" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.246.18.32 (talk) 19:47, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Proposal for adding evironmental effects of artificial leather
Most artifical leathers are made using PVC or PU which have a more long term effect on the environment due to how long these two plastics take to biodegrade vs leather that has more of a evironmental impact during the cultivation and tanning processes.

 * I think that's a good idea. If you've got a few good sources for it, I'll gladly look it over to help. oknazevad (talk) 00:53, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I will look over my sources and let you know if I have any questions. I also wanted your opinion of a possible addition or building up on the faux leathers in the brand names section that are not plastic based and are sustainable and far more biodegradable epsically considering there are so many more alternatives to petrolium based plastic now other than paper, cork, or banana leaves.

 * Just as long as it is sourced to a third-party, and not just the company website, in order to show that it's notable and not just promotional. oknazevad (talk) 15:24, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Artificial leather made from mushrooms
There have been a number of companies in recent years that have begun to create faux leather by using mycelium from fungus. It's much more sustainable then regular faux leather, which is normally made out of synthetic polymers.

PU Leather
Vegan people probably want to know that some pu leather products are still made from animals. When it comes to shoes, I think it's pretty common.

Bycast leather Bicast leather (also spelled as bi-cast leather or bycast leather) is a material made with a split leather backing covered with an embossed layer of polyurethane or vinyl.

Sorry, I'm out of touch on the etiquette of editing a wikipedia page. --Uzetaab (talk) 00:19, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * New comments go on the bottom of the page. And bicast leather and binded leather are different products than wholly artificial leather, the subject of this article. It doesn't need to be mentioned here. oknazevad (talk) 13:35, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
