#What Is bonded Leather? If you've purchased a relatively cheap leather sofa leather-bound books
or an inexpensive belt you might own a bonded-leather item. But what is bonded leather?
Bonded leather consists of scraps from real leather hides that are mixed with polyurethane a type of plastic.
The material should include from 60 to 100 percent real natural leather such as cowhide according to manufacturing standards.
The actual proportion depends on the quality level maintained by the manufacturer. To make bonded leather manufacturers use the scraps and fibers left over during the production of real leather items.
Blended with plastics these scraps are attached to a hard-fiber backing. Manufacturers also frequently add coats
and polishes to make the material look more leatherlike. Real leather items by contrast use the whole skin of an animal not scraps.
The advantages of bonded leather include its lower cost and environmental friendliness since it makes use of reclaimed
or recycled materials. Furniture office supplies and books often use bonded leather. It can be difficult to tell a bonded-leather item apart from the Real mccoy
because the two materials look and smell similar. The difference usually comes in durability. Bonded-leather furniture for example tears more quickly.
Consumer Affairs a consumer advocacy group reports frequent complaints about bonded-leather furniture wearing down.

#Biomechanical performances of old-fashioned leather and modern football helmets comparedresearchers at the Center for Injury Biomechanics at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg Virginia compared the relative safety afforded by two 1930-vintage leather football helmets
These researchers found that all 10 modern helmets provided significantly more protection than leather helmets used in the first half of the twentieth century
Details on their methods and findings are found in Biomechanical performance of leather and modern football helmets.
