In one embodiment of the invention, the use for synthetic leather not proportioning of each component of the anti-graffiti resin of xanthochromia is as follows: EU resin 35 weight portions, DMF 45 weight portions, acetone 10 weight portions, dimethyl siloxane 3 weight portions, organic silicone oil 2 weight portions, anti-graffiti auxiliary agent 1.5 weight portions, ultraviolet-resistant absorbent 0.5 weight portion, organosilicon levelling agent 3 weight portions.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the use for synthetic leather not proportioning of each component of the anti-graffiti resin of xanthochromia is as follows: EU resin 45 weight portions, DMF 30 weight portions, acetone 20 weight portions, dimethyl siloxane 2 weight portions, organic silicone oil 1 weight portion, anti-graffiti auxiliary agent 2 weight portions, ultraviolet-resistant absorbent 0.3 weight portion, organosilicon levelling agent 5 weight portions.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the use for synthetic leather not proportioning of each component of the anti-graffiti resin of xanthochromia is as follows: EU resin 40 weight portions, DMF 40 weight portions, acetone 15 weight portions, dimethyl siloxane 4 weight portions, organic silicone oil 3 weight portions, anti-graffiti auxiliary agent 1 weight portion, ultraviolet-resistant absorbent 0.4 weight portion, organosilicon levelling agent 4 weight portions.
The present invention also provides the not preparation method of the anti-graffiti resin of xanthochromia of a kind of use for synthetic leather, comprises following steps:
1) DMF, acetone, dimethyl siloxane, organic silicone oil, anti-graffiti auxiliary agent, ultraviolet-resistant absorbent, organosilicon levelling agent are stirred the back and grind filtration, discard filter residue;
2) add the EU resin in the mixture that step 1) obtains, filter the back that stirs, and discards filter residue, promptly gets the not anti-graffiti resin of xanthochromia of described use for synthetic leather.
The proportioning of each component among the preparation method of the anti-graffiti resin of xanthochromia can be not as follows for use for synthetic leather of the present invention: EU resin 35~45 weight portions, DMF 30~45 weight portions, acetone 10~20 weight portions, dimethyl siloxane 2~4 weight portions, organic silicone oil 1~3 weight portion, anti-graffiti auxiliary agent 1~2 weight portion, ultraviolet-resistant absorbent 0.3~0.5 weight portion, organosilicon levelling agent 3~5 weight portions.
In one embodiment of the invention, the use for synthetic leather step 1), 2 among the preparation method of the anti-graffiti resin of xanthochromia not) all carry out at normal temperatures and pressures.
Because adopt above technical scheme, the present invention compared with prior art has following advantage:
1, use for synthetic leather of the present invention not the anti-graffiti resin of xanthochromia be ep-type material, meet the environmental protection standard of European Union.Wherein, anti-graffiti auxiliary agent is that fluorine is a compound, high effect nontoxic.
2, use for synthetic leather of the present invention not each component of the anti-graffiti resin of xanthochromia coordinate mutually, acting in conjunction, good film-forming property, bonding firmly, finished leather glossiness height, feel is cunning, has splendid antifouling property.Use the synthetic leather that this kind resin is made, wear-resisting anti-tortuous performance is fabulous, anti-xanthochromia, and hydrolysis, high temperature resistant, but embossing is the optimal selection of making the light handbag of various top grades, footwear leather.
