4 Way Stretch PVC Leather Tensile and Tear Strength Testing

Mechanical Performance Testing of 4 Way Stretch PVC Leather

MICOOSON supplies PVC synthetic leather materials, including four-way stretch PVC leather for buyers evaluating flexible material constructions and mechanical performance requirements.

For material buyers, tensile strength, elongation and tear resistance are important properties when evaluating synthetic leather for applications involving stretching, cutting, sewing or repeated mechanical stress.

MICOOSON has third-party mechanical testing documentation for a submitted sample identified as "4 way stretch pvc leather."

The test report covers tensile strength, elongation and tear strength under specified laboratory conditions.

What Is HES D6511-23 Testing?

HES D6511-23 is the test specification referenced in the laboratory report for evaluating the submitted synthetic leather sample.

The report identifies two test sections:

  • Section 4.4: Tensile Strength and Elongation

  • Section 4.6: Tear Strength

These tests provide information about the mechanical performance of the submitted material.

The report's conclusions are based on the specified methods and customer requirements. They do not constitute certification of every MICOOSON PVC leather product.

4 Way Stretch PVC Leather Test Report Information

The test documentation identifies the following information:

  • Report Number: GZMR260300923001

  • Report Date: April 1, 2026

  • Sample Name: 4 way stretch pvc leather

  • Reference Number: GZAT2603001784SC01

  • Test Method: HES D6511-23

  • Test Items: Tensile Strength, Elongation and Tear Strength

  • Testing Speed: 200 mm/min

  • Laboratory Conditions: (23 ± 2)°C and (50 ± 5)% RH

The report records Pass conclusions for the specified test items, subject to the observations and limitations stated in the document.

Tensile Strength and Elongation Test Results

Tensile strength testing evaluates the force response of a material subjected to stretching under defined laboratory conditions.

Elongation testing measures the extent of length change during the specified tensile test.

The report records the following values:

A1 – Transverse Direction

  • Tensile Strength: 90.5 N/cm

  • Customer Requirement: At least 65.7 N/cm

  • Elongation: 79%

  • Customer Requirement: At least 25%

A2 – Lengthways Direction

  • Tensile Strength: 49.2 N/cm

  • Customer Requirement: At least 32.3 N/cm

  • Elongation: 220%

  • Customer Requirement: At least 135%

The reported results are marked Pass against the stated customer requirements.

However, the laboratory report notes that a specimen broke near the grips during tensile testing and that the affected tensile result is for reference only.

This limitation should be considered when interpreting or comparing the tensile performance data.

Tear Strength Test Results

Tear strength testing evaluates the resistance of a material to tearing under specified test conditions.

The report records:

A1 – Transverse Direction

  • Tear Strength: 40.6 N

  • Customer Requirement: At least 14.7 N

  • Test Conclusion: Pass

  • Specimen Thickness: 0.83 mm

A2 – Lengthways Direction

  • Tear Strength: 50.2 N

  • Customer Requirement: At least 14.7 N

  • Test Conclusion: Pass

  • Specimen Thickness: 0.82 mm

The report also notes deviations of the tear paths from the specimen centre line.

These observations should be considered when assessing the test results.

What Is the Difference Between Tensile Strength, Elongation and Tear Strength?

These three properties describe different aspects of a synthetic leather material's mechanical performance.

Tensile Strength measures resistance to an applied stretching force under defined test conditions.

Elongation describes how much a material stretches during testing, expressed as a percentage.

Tear Strength evaluates resistance to tearing under the specified test method.

A material can have different tensile, elongation and tear characteristics depending on its construction and test direction.

Buyers should review the relevant results separately rather than assuming that a high elongation value automatically guarantees superior tear resistance.

What Does Four-Way Stretch PVC Leather Mean?

Four-way stretch is commonly used to describe a material designed to stretch in both principal fabric directions.

The submitted product was identified by the applicant as 4 way stretch pvc leather.

The report includes transverse and lengthways tensile and elongation measurements.

However, the test report does not establish complete stretch recovery, elasticity after repeated cycles or long-term dimensional stability.

Buyers requiring these properties should request additional relevant testing documentation.

Why Are Tensile and Tear Strength Important for PVC Synthetic Leather?

Mechanical performance can affect material selection for applications that involve shaping, stretching, stitching or handling.

When evaluating four-way stretch PVC synthetic leather, buyers should consider:

  • Material construction and backing

  • Transverse and lengthways tensile strength

  • Elongation performance

  • Tear resistance

  • Material thickness

  • Intended application

  • Customer-specific mechanical requirements

  • Test specimen observations

  • Production batch consistency

  • Additional durability requirements

Results from a submitted laboratory sample should not be treated as a guarantee of identical performance for every material grade or finished product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MICOOSON Have Tensile and Tear Strength Test Documentation for PVC Leather?

Yes. MICOOSON has third-party mechanical testing documentation for a submitted sample identified as 4 way stretch pvc leather.

What Standard Was Used for Testing?

The report references HES D6511-23, Section 4.4 for tensile strength and elongation and Section 4.6 for tear strength.

What Were the Tensile Strength Results?

The report records 90.5 N/cm in the transverse direction and 49.2 N/cm in the lengthways direction, with a stated limitation concerning specimen breakage near the grips.

What Were the Elongation Results?

The reported elongation values were 79% in the transverse direction and 220% in the lengthways direction.

What Were the Tear Strength Results?

The report records 40.6 N in the transverse direction and 50.2 N in the lengthways direction.

Did the PVC Leather Sample Pass the Tests?

The report records Pass conclusions against the specified requirements. However, the tensile testing notes and tear-path observations must be considered when interpreting the findings.

Does High Elongation Mean the PVC Leather Has Excellent Stretch Recovery?

Not necessarily. Elongation and elastic recovery are different properties. The report does not document a separate stretch recovery test.

Does This Report Cover Every MICOOSON PVC Leather Product?

No. The findings apply to the submitted sample and documented laboratory test conditions.

Can Buyers Request Mechanical Testing Documentation?
