Several ways to identify fur and artificial leather.

Several ways to identify fur and artificial leather.

1. Pull a hair and light it with fire. This is the simplest identification method. If it immediately chars to black ashes and smells like burning hair, it means it is natural fur; if it melts immediately and smells like plastic, it means it is artificial fur. Of course, this method is usually not allowed by the seller when we purchase it. We can only buy it back and try it again.
2. Pull up the fur quilt. If it cannot be pulled up, it is natural fur, but if it can be pulled up, it is artificial fur.
Or light hair test. The natural fur coat has long and hard guard hairs, thicker and stiffer bristles and soft down. The lengths of the various hairs vary, and the length, density and feel of the entire skin are different. However, artificial fur generally The fur and quilt are neat and there is no gloss.
3. Peel the fur and separate the hair. Looking at the skin inside, it has the same effect as the scalp when you peel off your hair. There are pores, just like growth. If 3-9 hairs can grow in one hair follicle, it means it is real fur.
4. Animal fur cannot be so shiny and coordinated. At first glance, artificial fur appears to be either too shiny, with distorted gloss, or the hair is not neatly bonded. The patterns of artificial fur that imitate animal patterns are usually regular and orderly, and they look perfect. Real animal fur patterns cannot be so perfect. And usually a coat requires multiple pieces of fur to be spliced together, so it is impossible to be as coordinated as artificial fur in terms of color and pattern uniformity.
