The latest artificial leather material was developed in response to the question: Is it possible to overcome the weaknesses of natural leather and impart functions not possible with natural leather with an artificial leather having a fiber layer with random three-dimensional conformation and a polymer material layer having a continuous microporous structure? Teijin Cordley Limited is the global leader in the utilization of cutting-edge technologies in functions and environments.
Cordley® is the brand name for artificial leather manufactured and sold by Teijin Cordley Limited that is widely used for sporting goods such as shoes and balls, as well as casual footwear, automobile steering wheel covers, clothing accessories, miscellaneous goods, school bags and other products.
With a structure similar to natural leather, Cordley® is easy to care for, lightweight and tough.
Depending on the thickness of the fibers, artificial leather comes in two types: regular and ultrafine micro, which are used for sports applications that require a higher degree of strength and more sensitive softness required applications, respectively.
As always, the use of Teijin Group materials and their functions are environmentally friendly.
