And then, the present invention relates to can be used for the solid sense excellent leather shape tablet and the manufacture method thereof of footwear, furniture, dress material etc.In more detail, relate to Leathery sheet and the manufacture method thereof that mainly constitutes, has enough feels, rerum natura by fibrous material.
Background technology
By the Leathery sheet that superfine fibre and macromolecular elastomer constitute, have the not available excellent characteristic of natural leather, be widely used for various uses.When making this Leathery sheet, general adopt the high polymer elastic liquid solution that makes fiber tablet impregnation polyurethane etc. after, this fiber tablet is immersed in water or the aqueous solutions of organic solvent, make macromolecular elastomer carry out the method that wet type is solidified.
But owing to using a large amount of polyurethane in order to obtain intensity, DIMENSIONAL STABILITY etc., and because the cost of material of polyurethane, manufacturing technique complicated etc. makes Leathery sheet become expensive article.In addition,, become feel easily, be difficult to obtain the solid sense of similar natural leather like rubber when macromolecular elastomer becomes for a long time.And then, for this polyurethane of impregnation, generally use N, the water miscibility organic solvent of N '-dimethyl formamide etc., but these organic solvents, generally the angle from operating environment is unfavorable.
In addition, in order to protect environment, resource etc., recycle is paid attention to by people,, has for example developed the decomposition method of the decomposition recovery method of polyester (for example, patent documentation 1), polyurethane (for example, patent documentation 2) for this reason in recent years.But these methods all mainly are applicable to the article of single component, do not separate integrated and composite that form for the macromolecular elastomer of as described above fiber and polyurethane etc., because its decomposition method difference, so be difficult to be suitable for.Therefore, must be separated into each composition, but general cost is very big, it also is difficult separating fully in addition.
And then, point out that also polyurethane etc. causes flavescence because of NOx gas etc., is difficult to obtain flock suede formula (suede) tablet of white.
Therefore, expect that a kind of minimizing uses or do not contain the elastomeric Leathery sheet of macromolecule such as polyurethane in fact.
Therefore, in order to solve these problems, the intensity that improves nonwoven fabric self becomes effective method.As the method for the intensity that improves nonwoven fabric self, studied several so far.Nonwoven fabric that a kind of Leathery sheet that is made of fibre bundle and filament uses is for example disclosed (for example, patent documentation 3), it is to form the self-bonded fibre bundle by the self adhesion fiber with cellulose for example etc., after then carry out sheetization with the method for needle point method etc., fluid stream at a high speed is ejected on the sheet material, makes between the fibre bundle, interweaving between fibre bundle and filament and the filament forms.But,, then when dyeing, have the problem that produces degradation under color spot, surperficial grade or the feel if make fibre bundle bonding with this method.In addition because by high-velocity fluid stream peel off the superfine fibre of autoadhesion considerable part, make its complexing, so also the existence meeting owing to handle inequality and make and when peeling off, generate spot, the problem of its control difficulty.
On the other hand, proposed various by after carrying out acupuncture, carry out the method that high-velocity fluid stream handles and improve the method (for example, patent documentation 4,5) of complexing.This method is useful as the method for the efficient that interweaves that improves the processing of high-velocity fluid stream.But, according to present inventors' viewpoint, think and only make up acupuncture and the processing of high-velocity fluid stream, be difficult to obtain keeping satisfied rerum natura and grade etc., and can reduce the nonwoven fabric of the quantity delivered degree of polyurethane.
In addition, disclose and used and above-mentioned different additive method, carry out acupuncture by the polyester fiber of use low modulus and the polyester fiber of heat-shrinkable, then carry out heat treated and hot-pressing processing, do not flood polyurethane even make, also can obtain having the Leathery sheet matrix material (for example, patent documentation 6) of abundant performance.But, according to present inventors' viewpoint, think when the nonwoven fabric that will obtain like this dyes with for example liquid-flow dyeing machine etc., because kneading action etc. and often breaking.
