2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, artificial suede-like leather in which naps made of a fiber bundle are present on the surface of a substrate made of a fiber bundle and an elastic polymer is known. In this way, high quality is demanded in the field of suede-like artificial leather, and all aspects of appearance (suede feeling), texture (flexible touch), color development, etc., and physical properties, such as pilling resistance, are all required. Satisfactory high quality products are required. Specifically, in order to obtain a suede-like artificial leather having an excellent appearance, a method of making the fibers constituting the artificial leather ultra-fine is generally used, but when the fibers are made ultra-fine, it becomes dull. It has the drawback that it can be dyed only in whitish color, does not have a vivid color, and is inferior in color development. Further, in order to make the texture (feel) of the artificial leather extremely flexible and good, it has been practiced that the elastic polymer is not substantially present inside the fiber bundle constituting the artificial leather. However, if there is no elastic polymer inside the fiber bundle,
There is a problem that the nap fibers are easily pulled out and the so-called pilling resistance deteriorates.

[0003] In order to improve the color development of such a fiber-naped suede-like artificial leather, it is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-506 by applying an easily dyeable resin to the surface of the fiber-napped sheet and dyeing it. Further, a dyeing method of dyeing with a dye which becomes water-soluble by being reduced in the presence of an alkali, and oxidizing to fix the dye has been proposed in JP-B-61-25834 and JP-B-61-46592. Regarding the improvement of the pilling resistance of a fibrous napped suede-like artificial leather, a method of dissolving a part of the polymer at the root of the napped fiber with a polymer solvent and fixing the root of the napped fiber on the surface is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Sho. It has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-154468.

[0004] Further, as a microfine fiber bundle in which microfine fibers having different finenesses are mixed, the distribution of the size of the island components in the mixed spun fiber is such that the fineness DS of the island components present within 1/4 of the radius from the outer periphery is: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-243314 discloses a fiber structure in which the fineness DC of the island component existing within 2/3 of the radius from the center satisfies DC ≧ 1.5DS, and polyurethane inside the bundle of ultrafine fiber bundle fibers. And ultrafine polyolefin fibers having an average diameter of 1.0 μm or less and an aspect ratio of 500 to 2200 dispersed inside and around the bundle are disclosed in JP-A-3-260150.
The publication discloses that 0.02 to 0.2 denier fine fibers (A) and 0.001 to 0.01 denier ultrafine fibers (B) are used as island components in a weight ratio of 30/70 to Polyamide ultrafine fiber generating fibers mixed and dispersed at a ratio of 70/30 and suede-like artificial leather obtained from these fibers are disclosed in

However, the method for improving the color development as described in JP-B-55-506, JP-B-61-25834, and 61-46592 has been proposed. Although it can be improved,
It reduced the appearance, touch and texture of the fiber nap. Further, the technique described in JP-A-63-243314 discloses that the fine fibers having different thicknesses are localized, and the fineness difference of the island component fine fibers cannot be increased by this method. And color development were difficult to achieve at the same time. The technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-156579 has a somewhat improved coloring property as compared with the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-243314, but the proportion of the ultrafine fibers (B) having a small fineness is small. Is large, so that a large number of ultrafine fibers are present on the piloerection surface, and the coloring property is still insufficient. Even with this technique, it is possible to selectively cut and remove ultrafine fibers on the nap surface by employing severe conditions as a condition for shaving the nap surface, thereby improving the coloring property. When the fine fiber (A) is employed, the fine fiber (A) is also damaged and cut, so that a suede-like artificial leather having a good appearance cannot be obtained. In addition, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.
In the method described in JP-A-7-154468, since the polyurethane exists inside the ultrafine fiber bundle, it is inevitable that the feel becomes hard. An object of the present invention is to provide a suede-like artificial leather having good appearance and texture, and excellent coloration and pilling resistance, and a method for producing the same.

As an island component, it includes two groups, a fine fiber having a large average fineness (A) and a microfiber having a small average fineness (B),
The fine fibers (A) and the ultrafine fibers (B) are preferably substantially uniformly dispersed in the fiber cross section without being locally localized. That is, fibers in which the fine fibers (A) and the ultrafine fibers (B) are unevenly distributed are not preferable in the present invention. In the present invention, the fine fibers (A) and the ultrafine fibers (B) are not only different in average fineness but also obviously different in fineness of each of the constituent fibers.

The average fineness is less than 1/5 and less than 0.02 denier, and the ratio (A / B) of the number is in the range of 2/1 to 2/3. When the fineness of the fine fiber (A) is smaller than 0.02 denier, the color development of the product is insufficient, and when the fineness is larger than 0.2 denier, it is difficult to secure the quality of appearance. In the present invention, the fine fibers (A) preferably have a substantially uniform fineness in terms of appearance and texture. Specifically, the fine fibers (A) and the finest fibers of the fine fibers (A) in the fiber bundle are most suitable.

The average fineness is more preferably 0.01 denier or less and 0.0015 denier or more.
When the fineness of the ultrafine fibers is too small, the effect of preventing pilling is low. Therefore, a preferable lower limit is 0.001 denier as described above, and a more preferable fineness is 0.0015 denier or more. The ultrafine fiber (B)
Generally, as described above, since the method of mixing and melting the polymer under the same conditions is used, the variation in the fineness between the fibers is large, but in the present invention, 1/5 of the average fineness of the fine fiber (A) is used.
Those having a density of less than 0.02 denier are defined as ultrafine fibers (B).

It is possible to make the number of the ultrafine fibers (B) present on the outermost surface of the napped hair substantially zero by selecting the napped processing conditions. In that case, (A / B) becomes infinite, but usually Under the industrial napping treatment conditions, the (A / B) ratio of the nap top surface is 100.

When the (A / B) ratio in the base layer is 2/1 or more, (A / B) at the outermost surface of the nap is increased, which is preferable from the viewpoint of color development. Since the effect of preventing pilling by entanglement with the fine fiber (A) is greatly reduced, the pilling property of the product is inferior. When the (A / B) ratio in the base layer is 2/3 or less, buffing is repeated slowly and many times in order to make the (A / B) ratio of the top surface of the naps 3/1 or more. Therefore, if buffing is performed under strong conditions in order to enhance productivity, fine fibers (A) are cut, and a high-quality suede-like product cannot be obtained. . Therefore, the ratio (A / B) of the number of the fine fibers (A) and the ultrafine fibers (B) in the substrate is as follows:
It is extremely important that the ratio be in the range of 2/1 to 2/3 from the viewpoint of maintaining the quality of the appearance and at the same time achieving both the coloring property and the pilling resistance.

Comparative Example 3 Five parts of polypropylene (ultrafine fiber (B)) and 35 parts of polyurethane were melted in the same melting system as a sea component,
A method in which 60 parts of 6-nylon [fine fiber (A)] as an island component is melted by another system and the fiber shape is defined by a spinneret and then spun so that the number of fine fibers (A) is 50 The fiber was spun so as to obtain an ultrafine fiber generating fiber having a fineness of 10 denier. At this time, when observing a cross section with a fiber,
The average number of the ultrafine fibers (B) was about 100, and the fine fibers (A) and the ultrafine fibers (B) were almost uniformly dispersed.
After stretching the obtained fiber to 3.0 times and imparting crimp,
The fiber was cut to a fiber length of 51 mm, defibrated with a card, and formed into a web with a cross wrap webber. Next, a fiber entangled nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 600 g / m 2 was formed by a needle punch. This fiber entangled nonwoven fabric is impregnated with a composition solution of 4 parts of a polyurethane composition mainly composed of polyether-based polyurethane and 96 parts of DMF, and simultaneously dissolves the polyurethane in the microfiber-generating fiber, and then coagulates and rinses with water. A 1.3 mm thick fibrous substrate was obtained.

When the cross section of the ultrafine fiber bundle of the fibrous base material is observed with an electron microscope, the average fineness of the ultrafine fiber (A) is 0.1.
At 058 denier, there was almost no variation in fineness. The average fineness of the ultrafine fibers (B) was 0.003 denier, and the polyurethane was porous between the ultrafine fibers in the fiber bundle. This fibrous substrate was treated in the same manner as in Example 1 to obtain a dyed suede-like artificial leather. The obtained product is
Although the coloring property was good, the texture was hard because the ultrafine fibers of the ultrafine fiber bundle were fixed with polyurethane, and the appearance was just one step away.
