Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an artificial leather, resembling natural leather and having a smooth surface, by sandwiching and pressing one surface of a substrate with a heating element surface and the other surface with a cooling element surface in a state of the residual nonsolvent in coagulating an impregnated and entangled polyurethane in a nonsolvent to provide the substrate for the artificial leather. CONSTITUTION:Interstitial parts of an entangles short fiber material containing >50% preferably 6-nylon are impregnated with a solution of a polyurethane elastomer in a water-miscible organic solvent, e.g. dimethylformamide, etc., and then dipped in an aqueous nonsolvent to coagulate the above-mentioned elastomer and provide a substrate for an artificial leather. One surface of the resultant substrate in a state of the residual nonsolvent in an amount of preferably about 30-150% based on the dry weight of the substrate is brought into contact, sandwiched, pressed with a heating element surface (at >= the softening point of the short fibers -50 deg.C - <= heat softening point) and passed therethrough and the other surface is brought into contact, sandwiched, pressed with a cooling element surface (>=5 deg.C - <= room temperature) and passed therethrough to evaporate and remove the nonsolvent near the surface in contact with the heating element surface. Thereby the aimed artificial leather having a formed dense and smooth surface as well as soft feeling resembling that of natural leather is obtained.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional) Artificial leather is made by impregnating the voids of a short fiber tangled body with a water-miscible organic solvent solution of polyurethane disstomer, and then converting it to water as the main component. The polyurethane elastomer is coagulated by immersion in a non-solvent to form a so-called non-woven fabric, and then a solution of the polyurethane elastomer in a water-miscible organic solvent is applied to one side of the non-woven fabric, and then the polyurethane elastomer)-r- is coagulated in the non-solvent. However, in conventional artificial leather, in order to give a smooth appearance, the surface of the nonwoven fabric on which the microporous layer is formed is skived to create a smooth surface. A method is adopted in which a microporous layer is formed after the formation.

However, if the nonwoven fabric is skived to form a smooth surface, the smoothness of the surface of the microporous layer can be improved, but on the other hand, the fibers that are intertwined with each other and make up the nonwoven fabric will be cut. In addition, the strength of the nonwoven fabric decreases, resulting in what is called a weak artificial leather, and if a microporous layer is formed on the skimmed surface of the nonwoven fabric, there is a problem with the bonding strength between the microporous layer and the nonwoven fabric. When used as a bamboo material, there were problems such as scratches on the surface and easy peeling of the surface.

Examples of water-miscible organic solvents for dissolving the polyurethane elastomer include dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, and dioxane, with dimethylformamide being particularly preferred. If the viscosity of the water-miscible organic solvent solution of the polyurethane elastomer is too low, it will be difficult to uniformly impregnate the voids of the tangled short fibers, making it difficult to form a microporous structure. Furthermore, it is difficult to form a dense surface layer after pressing with a heating body and a cooling body, resulting in poor surface smoothness, so it is preferable to have a viscosity of 1000 CPS or more at 20°C. The concentration of the polyurethane elastomer solution is not particularly limited, but is 10 to 25%.

As explained above, the method of the present invention involves heating one side of the base material for artificial leather by bringing it into contact with a heating body, cooling the other side by bringing it into contact with a cooling body, and compressing the base material between the heating body and the cooling body. Furthermore, by adopting a method in which the above-mentioned treatment is carried out with the non-solvent remaining in the base material for artificial leather, a dense and extremely smooth surface is formed on the side that is in contact with the heating element, and This density gradient from the front side to the back side is very similar to natural leather, and furthermore, it is possible to obtain artificial leather having excellent flexibility and a texture similar to natural leather. In addition, since the method of the present invention does not form a smooth surface by skiving as in the conventional method, it is inevitable that strength will be reduced due to cutting of entangled fibers in the base material.
It has various effects such as superior strength.
