Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an artificial leather and a method for manufacturing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to an artificial leather useful as an alternative to natural leather and a method for manufacturing the same.
  • An artificial leather is manufactured by impregnating a polymeric elastomer in a non-woven fabric comprising three-dimensionally entangled ultrafine fibers, which is widely utilized in a variety of applications such as shoes, clothes, gloves, miscellaneous goods, furniture and automobile interior materials due to natural leather-like soft texture and unique appearance.
  • EP 1 302 587 A2 discloses a process for the preparation of microfibrous non-woven fabric with good mechanical and dyeing properties comprising the following stages of a) preparation of a microfiber constituted in general from polyesters used singularly or in mixtures between them or with nylons 6, nylons 6.6 or other materials normally used in the textile field, b) preparation, by means of needle-punching, of a felt comprising the microfiber indicated above, c) impregnation of the felt with polymer binder, d) mechanical treatment in order to generate the suede effect, e) dyeing of the non-woven fabric, in which a polyester constituted partially or totally from repeating monomer units of trimethylene terephthalate (PTT).
  • PTT trimethylene terephthalate

  • Such an artificial leather is manufactured using a variety of fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate fibers and polyamide fibers.
  • a common artificial leather is made of short fibers containing a single component. Accordingly, the short fibers constituting the artificial leather exhibit similar mechanical physical properties and similar entanglement behaviors. As a result, distance and pores between short fibers are similar. Also, there is a problem of difficulty of realization of an artificial leather having satisfactory texture, fullness and flexibility due to differentiation in terms of interaction between short fibers.
  • the present invention is directed to a method for manufacturing an artificial leather and the artificial leather manufactured by said method capable of preventing problems caused by these limitations and drawbacks of the related art.
  • the present invention is conceived in response to demand for a more fundamental method for improving physical properties of artificial leather, such as control of an internal structure of non-woven fabric.

  • the present invention has the following effects.
  • the artificial leather according to the present invention comprises two or more types of polyester short fibers having different elastic recovery.

  • the artificial leather of the present invention has pores exhibiting superior compressive elasticity (in a thickness direction) and being uniformly formed to have a predetermined size, as compared to an artificial leather only comprising polyethylene terephthalate (two repeat units of -CH 2 -) short fibers, since it partially comprises the spring-like structure. Accordingly, the present invention provides an artificial leather that has superior texture, flexibility, breathability and fullness and enables considerable reduction in weight.
  • this spring structure makes surface naps upright, enabling production of an artificial leather in which the difference in friction coefficient according to nap direction is minimized, as compared to a common artificial leather in which naps lie in one direction. Accordingly, the artificial leather of the present invention can reduce displeasure caused by the difference in friction property according to the nap direction.
  • the non-woven fabric according to the present invention comprises polyester short fibers, thus exhibiting superior adhesiveness to the polymeric elastomer, for example, polyurethane. Accordingly, the artificial leather of the present invention has superior durability.

  • a content of the polyethylene terephthalate short fibers in the non-woven fabric is 5 to 95% by weight, preferably 10 to 50% by weight.
  • the content of the polyethylene terephthalate short fibers is lower than 5% by weight, mechanical strength of the non-woven fabric may be deteriorated, and when the content of the polyethylene terephthalate short fibers is higher than 95% by weight, short fibers constituting the non-woven fabric cannot form a dense structure and, as a result, an artificial leather made of the non-woven fabric may exhibit deterioration in texture, flexibility and fullness.
  • One of parameters, affecting texture, flexibility and fullness of an artificial leather, is mixing uniformity of short fibers of the non-woven fabric used for manufacture of the artificial leather.
  • the two or more types of polyester short fibers are uniformly mixed to an extent that the non-woven fabric has an weight variation coefficient (CV%) of 20% or less.
  • CV% weight variation coefficient

Accordingly, the artificial leather made of a non-woven fabric exhibits superior texture, flexibility and fullness.
  • the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value regarding the elastic recovery at an elongation of 20% is lower than 10%, two or more types of short fibers constituting the non-woven fabric may be densely entangled, and short fibers having a relatively high elastic recovery may not form a spring-like structure.

  • the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value regarding the elastic recovery at an elongation of 20% is higher than 80%, it may not be easy to manufacture a non-woven fabric.
  • the compressive elasticity may be represented by compressibility and recovery rate. That is, the artificial leather made of the non-woven fabric according to the present invention has a compressibility (thickness direction) of 8 to 50%. When the compressibility of the artificial leather is lower than 8%, the artificial leather is hard and rigid, and when the compressibility thereof is higher than 50%, texture such as fullness is deteriorated.
  • the artificial leather made of the non-woven fabric according to the present invention has a recovery rate of 80% or more.
  • the recovery rate of the artificial leather is lower than 80%, the artificial leather is deteriorated in shape stability and fullness and cannot exhibit luxury and exclusivity.
  • fibers having a high elastic recovery exhibit superior recovery to an applied exterior power.
  • the artificial leather comprises fibers having a high elastic recovery
  • surface nap formed through a grinding process such as a buffing process becomes more upright due to the internal spring structure. Accordingly, a difference in friction coefficient between forward direction (nap direction) and reverse direction on the surface of the artificial leather is considerably reduced, a difference in texture between directions on the surface of the artificial leather is reduced, the difference according to direction is minimized and surface texture can thus be improved.

  • manufacture processibility of the non-woven fabric can be improved and the artificial leather made of the non-woven fabric exhibit superior physical properties.
  • the length of the short fibers is lower than 5 mm, it may be difficult to manufacture the non-woven fabric, and strength and texture of the artificial leather may be deteriorated. Meanwhile, when the length of the short fibers exceeds 10 mm, it may be difficult to manufacture the non-woven fabric.

  • the ultrafine non-woven fabric is subjected to a raising process.
  • the raising process forms a great amount of naps on the surface of the non-woven fabric by rubbing the surface of the ultrafine non-woven fabric with a polishing means such as sandpaper.
