Thanks to modern technologies, many natural materials are replaced with synthetic materials today. Take, for example, an artificial nubuck, which, unlike natural, is considered more affordable. It is sufficiently resistant to moisture, but does not allow air to pass through.
What kind of material is an artificial nubuck?
First of all, it is worth noting that this synthetic fiber is very similar to suede, but this is one of the flock types, which was developed back in the 20s of last century. Many people confuse an artificial nubuck with real leather or velor. However, this artificial multilayer polymer material is more durable and has moisture-repellent properties, which can not be said about the natural. Despite the rough texture, due to its velvety, artificial nubuck products look very presentable. For example, it can be not only shoes, but also furniture.
Unlike natural nubuck, artificial has its own subspecies. For example, nubuck-oil, woven or non-woven version. All subspecies differ in the characteristic manufacturing process and undergo additional processing. From this in the future depends on its price, quality and strength.
Shoes made of artificial nubuck are light and strong enough. In addition, the maximum resemblance to suede makes this accessory stylish and desirable for many women of fashion. Unlike natural nubuck, artificial can be worn in rain and snow due to moisture repellent properties. But because of the lack of air permeability, in such shoes for a long time you do not resemble. Nevertheless, the accessory of synthetic fiber is very in demand, and he is not so fond of care.
Care of artificial nubuck
If natural fiber is very demanding, then the synthetic nubuck is fairly simple and easy to operate. It is not rubbed like suede, does not absorb moisture and dries quickly. It is easy to care for him, enough to adhere to some recommendations:
- artificial nubuck can not be heat treated and dried with hot air, for example, a hair dryer;
- it can not be cleaned with alcohol solutions;
- avoid the use of bleaching agents and solvents with petroleum products.
To care for artificial nubuck it is worth giving preference to the standard means for shoes or using a soapy solution.
