Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an artificial leather for automotive interior materials and a method of manufacturing the same. More specifically, the artificial leather of the present invention is used in a covering process of automotive interior materials. According to the present invention, when the artificial leather of the present invention is used, transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be prevented, and wrinkling of the artificial leather may be prevented. In addition, the artificial leather of the present invention allows easy deployment of an airbag.
- Automotive interior materials such as crash pads, door trims, console boxes, armrests, headrests, and head liners are typically composed of a skin layer, a foam layer, and a core layer, which is a hard synthetic resin injection product. In this case, the skin layer, the foam layer, and the core layer are laminated in order from top to bottom.
- Automotive interior materials may be manufactured by various methods. For example, after forming a skin layer by vacuum forming a sheet for automotive interior materials including an outermost layer and a foam layer formed on the bottom of the outermost layer, the skin layer is mounted in a mold, and a synthetic resin is injected to form a core layer under the skin layer, thereby manufacturing an integrated automotive interior material.
- In recent years, to impart a luxurious feeling to automotive interior materials, a covering process (also known as wrapping process), in which an adhesive is applied on an upper portion of a foam layer and the foam layer and a core layer are wrapped with natural leather, has been applied to manufacture of automotive interior materials. However, natural leather is expensive and an animal protection issue has recently emerged. Accordingly, there is growing demand for artificial leathers.
- For example, KR 10-2018-0078057 A (publication date: Jul. 9, 2018) disclosed a method of manufacturing an automotive interior material using an outermost layer, which is an artificial leather. In this disclosure, a non-woven fabric is used as the back layer of the artificial leather.
- However, non-woven fabrics are expensive, and thus are used exclusively in luxury vehicles. In addition, due to the low elongation of non-woven fabrics, when a non-woven fabric is applied, seams are not neat, and workability deteriorates during a covering process. In addition, after the covering process, as shown in
FIG. 6 , an artificial leather is wrinkled. As another problem, when an artificial leather is applied to an automotive interior material such as a crash pad, the unevenness of the automotive interior material is directly transferred to the artificial leather. - Therefore, there is increasing demand for development of an artificial leather for automotive interior materials that may prevent transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material, is inexpensive, may prevent occurrence of wrinkles, and allows easy deployment of an airbag.
- [Patent Documents] (Patent Document 1) KR 10-2018-0078057 A (publication date: Jul. 9, 2018)
- Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is one object of the present invention to provide an artificial leather for automotive interior materials that may prevent transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material, is inexpensive, may prevent occurrence of wrinkles, and allows easy deployment of an airbag and a method of manufacturing the artificial leather.

Based on these results, the present inventors conducted further studies to complete the present invention.
- Hereinafter, the artificial leather for automotive interior materials of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- Here, when reference numerals are applied to constituents illustrated in each drawing, it should be noted that like reference numerals indicate like elements throughout the specification.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , anartificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention includes aback layer 10, apore layer 20, anadhesive layer 30, and askin layer 40 laminated in order from bottom to top. - The
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention as described above may be an artificial leather used in a covering process of automotive interior materials. - In the present invention, for example, in manufacturing an automotive interior material consisting of an outermost layer and a core layer, the covering process may be a process of applying an adhesive onto the core layer and covering the core layer with an artificial leather as the outermost layer.
- As another example, in manufacturing an automotive interior material consisting of an outermost layer, a cushion layer, and a core layer laminated in order from top to bottom, the covering process may be a process of applying an adhesive onto the core layer, covering the core layer with the cushion layer, applying an adhesive onto the cushion layer, and then covering the cushion layer and the core layer with an artificial leather as the outermost layer.
- For example, the cushion layer may include one or more selected from the group consisting of polypropylene foam, polyurethane foam, and ethylene-vinyl acetate foam.
- Alternatively, as another example, the cushion layer may be a cushion manufactured using one or more synthetic fibers selected from the group consisting of nylon-based fibers, polyester-based fibers, polyolefin-based fibers, polyethylene terephthalate-based fibers, and polypropylene-based fibers.
- The core layer may be a hard synthetic resin injection product, and for example, may include one or more synthetic resin injection products selected from the group consisting of polyamides, polycarbonates, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, styrene-acrylonitrile, polyvinylchloride, polystyrene, polyphenylene sulfide, polypropylene, and polyethylene, without being limited thereto.
- Hereinafter, the laminated structure of the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention will be described in detail. - Back Layer (10)
- According to manufacturing methods, fabrics are broadly classified into non-woven fabrics, woven fabrics, and knitted fabrics.
- The non-woven fabric refers to a fabric shape in which fibers are bonded to each other by chemical treatment, mechanical treatment, or treatment using appropriate moisture and heat.
- The woven fabric refers to a fabric formed through a woven fabric process using threads after forming fibers using threads.
- The woven fabric, commonly known as fabric, refers to a fabric in which two strands of threads are entangled in the horizontal and vertical directions. That is, the woven fabric refers to a fabric formed by intertwining a thread in the vertical direction (warp) and a thread in the horizontal direction (weft). Depending on the manufacturing methods, the woven fabric may be classified into plain weave, twill weave, and satin weave.
- The knitted fabric refers to a fabric formed by connecting loops woven with one thread or two or more threads. According to manufacturing methods, the knitted fabric may be classified into a circular knitted fabric and a warp knitted fabric. The knitted fabric has high elasticity compared to the woven fabric. The circular knitted fabric means a fabric woven by threads supplied in the weft direction, and the warp knitted fabric means a fabric woven by threads supplied in the warp direction.
- According to the present invention, when an impregnated knitted fabric is used as the
back layer 10, an artificial leather having excellent elongation and tensile strength may be provided at a low cost. - In the present invention, as a specific example, a circular knitted fabric having excellent elongation compared to a wrap knitted fabric may be used as a fabric for forming the
back layer 10. - The knitted fabric may be formed using threads having a thickness of 120 to 170 denier or 130 to 160 denier. Within this range, strength may be excellent.
- The thread refers to a thread made by twisting one or more fibers selected from natural fibers, regenerated fibers, and synthetic fibers.
- The natural fibers may be cotton fibers, hemp fibers, wool fibers, or silk fibers. The regenerated fibers may be rayon fibers or cupra fibers. The synthetic fibers may be polyester fibers, nylon fibers, polyolefin fibers, polyvinyl alcohol fibers, polyamide fibers, polyurethane fibers, or polyvinylidene chloride fibers.
- In the present invention, as a specific example, a polyester fiber having excellent elongation may be used as a thread for forming the
back layer 10. - In addition, the knitted fabric may be inexpensive, may have shape-retaining properties capable of withstanding repeated stretching and contraction, and may be subjected to impregnation to acquire elongation suitable for a covering process.
- In the present invention, impregnation may be performed by performing impregnation in an impregnation solution including a conventionally known solvent-based or aqueous polymer compound, e.g., a polyurethane resin or a copolymer thereof, performing coagulation in an aqueous dimethylformamide solution, and performing rinsing with water.
- As a specific example, the impregnation solution may be a polyurethane solution including 200 to 400 parts by weight or 220 to 290 parts by weight of a solvent based on 100 parts by weight of a polyurethane resin.
- The solvent may include one or more selected from the group consisting of dimethylformamide, methylethylketone, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide, and ethyl acetate.
- In addition, the impregnation solution may further include other additives such as flame retardants, dispersants, or pigments, and the types and contents thereof are not limited.
- For example, the aqueous dimethylformamide solution may include 2 to 10% by weight or 3 to 8% by weight of dimethylformamide and 90 to 98% by weight or 92 to 97% by weight of water.
- When a knitted fabric impregnated with the polyurethane solution is used as the
back layer 10 of the present invention, an artificial leather capable of withstanding repeated stretching and contraction, having aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume, having elongation suitable for a covering process, allowing easy deployment of an airbag, and having excellent durability and tensile strength may be provided. - In addition, a single-sided or double-sided brushed knitted fabric may be used as the
back layer 10 of the present invention. In this case, adhesion and aesthetics may be excellent. - More specifically, the
back layer 10 may be formed by impregnating a knitted fabric in which one or more selected from a surface in contact with thepore layer 20 to be described later and a back surface in contact with a cushion layer by a covering process are brushed. - In addition, as an embodiment, when the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention has a seam line, theback layer 10 may have a thickness of 0.5 to 1.0 mm, 0.55 to 0.9 mm, or 0.6 to 0.7 mm. Within this range, deterioration of mechanical properties such as tensile strength may be prevented, cost rise may be prevented, and moldability may be maintained. - In the present invention, the seam line means a tear line for allowing an artificial leather to be ruptured into a certain shape (e.g., H shape, I shape, V shape, etc.) by expansion of an air bag.
- The seam line may be formed by a process known in the art for forming a seam line. For example, a seam line having a concave groove shape may be formed on the back surface of an artificial leather using a laser or a knife.
- Specifically, when the thickness of the
back layer 10 is less than the above range, the thickness of theback layer 10 in an area where a seam line is formed becomes too thin (for reference, an area where a seam line is formed is about 0.1 to 0.2 mm thinner than an area where a seam line is not formed), thus reducing the durability of an artificial leather. When the thickness of theback layer 10 exceeds the range, cost increases and moldability decreases. Thus, theback layer 10 may have a thickness within the range. - Alternatively, when the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention has no seam line, theback layer 10 may have a thickness of 0.4 to 0.9 mm, 0.42 to 0.8 mm, or 0.45 to 0.7 mm. Within this range, deterioration of mechanical properties such as tensile strength may be prevented, cost rise may be prevented, and moldability may be maintained. - Specifically, when the thickness of the
back layer 10 is less than the above range, theback layer 10 becomes too thin, thus reducing the durability of an artificial leather. When the thickness of theback layer 10 exceeds the range, without a seam line, deployment of an airbag may not be easy. In addition, cost increases and moldability decreases. Thus, theback layer 10 may have a thickness within the range. - When the thickness of the
back layer 10 is measured, the artificial leather for automotive interior materials is cut vertically, and the thickness of the cut section is measured using a scanning electron microscope. - Specifically, when the thickness of the
back layer 10 is measured, the artificial leather for automotive interior materials is cut vertically, vertical lines are drawn from five arbitrary points at the top of theback layer 10, distances from the five points to the lower end points of theback layer 10 meeting the vertical lines are measured, and an average value of the measured values is calculated. - Pore Layer (20)
- The
pore layer 20 of the present invention has uniform pores formed therein, thereby preventing transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material and imparting aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume, elongation suitable for a covering process, and tensile strength for deployment of an airbag to an artificial leather. As a specific example, thepore layer 20 may be formed using a pore layer composition including 20 to 50 parts by weight of a solvent and 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of a pore control agent based on 100 parts by weight of a polyurethane resin. - More specifically, the
pore layer 20 may be formed by coating the top of the back layer with the pore layer composition, performing coagulation in an aqueous dimethylformamide solution, and performing rinsing with water. - For example, the aqueous dimethylformamide solution may include 2 to 10% by weight or 3 to 8% by weight of dimethylformamide and 90 to 98% by weight or 92 to 97% by weight of water. In addition, for example, the coagulation process may be performed for 4 to 8 minutes, preferably 5 to 7 minutes.
- Hereinafter, each component of the pore layer composition will be described in detail.
- Polyurethane Resin (A)
- The polyurethane resin may be prepared by reacting a polyol with diisocyanate and a chain extender.
- Specifically, for example, the polyol may include one or more selected from the group consisting of polyether polyols, polyester polyols, and polycarbonate polyols.
- The polyether polyol may be derived by reacting a diol or polyol having 2 to 15 carbon atoms, as a specific example, an alkyl diol or glycol and an alkylene oxide having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, as a specific example, ethylene oxide or propylene oxide.
- The polyester polyol may be formed by esterifying one or more glycols with one or more dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides thereof. As a specific example, the glycol may include one or more selected from ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and glycerin, and the dicarboxylic acid may include one or more selected from adipic acid, phthalic acid, and maleic acid.
- Alternatively, the polyester polyol may be formed by performing ring-opening polymerization of lactone or a derivative thereof using a small amount of a diol, a triol, or an amine as an initiator. As a specific example, the polyester polyol may be polycaprolactone (PCL) synthesized by performing ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (CL) using diethylene glycol as an initiator.
- The polycarbonate polyol may be derived by reacting a glycol and a carbonate.
- In the present invention, as a specific example, the polyol may be prepared by mixing 100 to 150 parts by weight of a polyether polyol and 110 to 200 parts by weight of a polycarbonate polyol based on 100 parts by weight of the polyester polyol. Within this range, mechanical properties, hydrolysis resistance, and chemical resistance may be excellent.
- In addition, diisocyanates commonly used in the art may be used as the diisocyanate of the present invention without particular limitation, and the diisocyanate may include one or more selected from the group consisting of aromatic diisocyanates having a benzene ring such as 4,4′-diphenylmethanediisocyanate (MDI), xylene diisocyanate (XDI), and 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate; aliphatic diisocyanates such as hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and propylenediisocyanate; and alicyclic diisocyanates such as 1,4-cyclohexanediisocyanate, isophoronediisocyanate (IPDI), and 4,4′-dicyclohexylmethanediisocyanate (H12MDI).
- More specifically, the diisocyanate may include one or more selected from 4,4-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), and dicyclohexyl methane diisocyanate (H12MDI).
- In addition, chain extenders commonly used in the art may be used as the chain extender of the present invention without particular limitation. As a preferred example, a low molecular weight diol compound or diamine compound having an even number of repeat units, which is advantageous for increasing crystallinity, may be used as the chain extender.
- Specifically, the chain extender may include one or more selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol (EG), diethylene glycol (DEG), propylene glycol (PG), 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD), 1,6-hexanediol (1,6-HD), methylpentanediol, and isophoronediamine (IPDA).
- In addition, for example, the chain extender may be used in an amount of 1 to 15 parts by weight or 2 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the polyol.
- Solvent (B)
- The solvent B may include one or more selected from the group consisting of dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide, and ethyl acetate.
- In addition, the solvent B may be used in an amount of 20 to 50 parts by weight or 30 to 45 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the polyurethane resin A. When the solvent B is used in an amount less than the range, the viscosity of a pore layer composition is too high, making it difficult to form uniform pores. When the solvent B is used in an amount exceeding the range, the viscosity of a pore layer composition is too low, thereby deteriorating coating properties. Thus, the solvent B may be used within the range.
- Pore Control Agent (C)
- The pore control agent C is used to form uniform pores in the
pore layer 20, and may include one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants. - Since the surfactant is composed of a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail, the surfactant may form various micelle structures or liquid crystal structures through self-assembly in an aqueous solution.
- For example, the anionic surfactants may include one or more selected from the group consisting of fatty acids (salts) such as oleic acid, palmitic acid, sodium oleate, potassium palmitate, and triethanolamine oleate; carbonates (salts) containing hydroxyl groups such as hydroxyacetic acid, potassium hydroxyacetate, lactic acid, and potassium lactate; polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether acetic acids (salts) such as polyoxyethylene tridecyl ether acetic acid (sodium salt); salts of carboxyl group polysubstituted aromatic compounds such as potassium trimellitate and potassium pyromellitate; alkylbenzenesulfonic acids (salts) such as dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (sodium salt); polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether sulfonic acids (salts) such as polyoxyethylene 2-ethylhexyl ether sulfonic acid (potassium salt); higher fatty acid amide sulfonic acids (salts) such as stearoylmethyltaurine (sodium), lauroylmethyltaurine (sodium), myristoylmethyltaurine N (sodium), and palmitoylmethyltaurine (sodium); N-acylsarcosinic acids (salts) such as lauroylsarcosinic acid (sodium); alkylphosphonic acids (salts) such as octylphosphonate (potassium salt); aromatic phosphonic acids (salts) such as phenylphosphonate (potassium salt); alkylphosphonic acid alkyl phosphate esters (salts) such as 2-ethylhexylphosphonate mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (potassium salt); nitrogen-containing alkylphosphonic acids (salts) such as aminoethylphosphonic acid (diethanolamine salt); alkyl sulfuric acid esters (salts) such as 2-ethylhexyl sulfate (sodium salt); polyoxyalkylenesulfuric esters (salts) such as polyoxyethylene 2-ethylhexyl ether sulfate (sodium salt); alkyl phosphate esters (salts) such as lauryl phosphate (potassium salt), cetyl phosphate (potassium salt), and stearyl phosphate (diethanolamine salt); polyoxyalkylene alkyl (alkenyl) ether phosphates (salts) such as polyoxyethylene lauryl ether phosphate (potassium salt) and polyoxyethylene oleyl ether phosphate (triethanolamine salt); polyoxyalkylene alkylphenyl ether phosphates (salts) such as polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether phosphate (potassium salt) and polyoxyethylene dodecylphenyl ether phosphate (potassium salt); long-chain sulfosuccinate salts such as sodium di-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate and sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate; and long-chain N-acyl glutamates such as sodium monosodium N-lauroyl glutamate and disodium N-stearoyl-L-glutamate.
- For example, the nonionic surfactants may include one or more selected from the group consisting of polyoxyalkylene linear alkyl ethers such as polyoxyethylene hexyl ether, polyoxyethylene octyl ether, polyoxyethylene decyl ether, polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, and polyoxyethylene cetyl ether; polyoxyalkylene branched primary alkyl ethers such as polyoxyethylene 2-ethylhexyl ether, polyoxyethylene isocetyl ether, and polyoxyethylene isostearyl ether; polyoxyalkylene branched secondary alkyl ethers such as polyoxyethylene 1-hexylhexyl ether, polyoxyethylene 1-octylhexyl ether, polyoxyethylene 1-hexyloctyl ether, polyoxyethylene 1-pentylheptyl ether, and polyoxyethylene 1-heptylpentyl ether; polyoxyalkylene alkenyl ethers such as polyoxyethylene oleyl ether; polyoxyalkylene alkylphenyl ethers such as polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether, polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether, and polyoxyethylene dodecylphenyl ether; polyoxyalkylene alkylarylphenyl ethers such as polyoxyethylene tristyrylphenyl ether, polyoxyethylene distyrylphenyl ether, polyoxyethylene styrylphenyl ether, polyoxyethylene tribenzylphenyl ether, polyoxyethylene dibenzylphenyl ether, and polyoxyethylene benzylphenyl ether; polyoxyalkylene fatty acid esters such as polyoxyethylene monolaurate, polyoxyethylene monooleate, polyoxyethylene monostearate, polyoxyethylene monomyristylate, polyoxyethylene dilaurate, polyoxyethylene diolate, polyoxyethylene dimyristylate, and polyoxyethylene distearate; sorbitan esters such as sorbitan monopalmitate and sorbitan monooleate; polyoxyalkylene sorbitan fatty acid esters such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate; glycerin fatty acid esters such as glycerin monostearate, glycerin monolaurate, and glycerin monopalmitate; polyoxyalkylene sorbitol fatty acid esters; sucrose fatty acid esters; polyoxyalkylene castor oil ethers such as polyoxyethylene castor oil ether; polyoxyalkylene hydrogenated castor oil ethers such as polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil ether; polyoxyalkylene alkylamino ethers such as polyoxyethylene lauryl amino ether and polyoxyethylene stearyl amino ether; oxyethylene-oxypropylene blocks or random copolymers; terminal alkyl esterification products of oxyethylene-oxypropylene blocks or random copolymers; and terminal sucrose esterification products of oxyethylene-oxypropylene blocks or random copolymers.
- In the present invention, as a specific example, a nonionic surfactant having excellent stability over time may be used as the pore control agent C. More specifically, a polysiloxane modified with polyether may be used as the pore control agent C.
- In addition, the pore control agent C may be used in an amount of 0.5 to 2 parts by weight or 0.5 to 1.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the polyurethane resin A. When the pore control agent C is used in an amount less than the range, a sufficient number of pores is not formed in the
pore layer 20, thereby decreasing a sense of volume. In addition, after completing a process of covering automotive interior materials, some wrinkles may occur in an artificial leather, and prevention of transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be insignificant. When the pore control agent C is used in an amount exceeding the range, pores may be uneven, and elongation may be reduced, thereby generating some wrinkles in an artificial leather and deteriorating surface properties such as abrasion resistance and stain resistance. Thus, the pore control agent C may be used in an amount within the range. - Optionally, the pore layer composition may further include other additives such as flame retardants, dispersants, and pigments, and the type and content thereof are not limited.
- In the
pore layer 20 of the present invention, pores may be evenly distributed in the layer (FIG. 1 ), pores may be distributed only at the top of the layer (FIG. 2 ), or pores may be distributed only at the bottom of the layer (FIG. 3 ). - More specifically, referring to
FIG. 1 , thepore layer 20 of the present invention may be a layer in which open pores and/or closed pores are not densely concentrated in any one area, but uniformly distributed. In the present invention, the pores refer to pores having a size of at least 50 μm or more, excluding pores having a size of less than 50 μm. - In addition, the size of the pores may be 50 to 240 μm, 60 to 180 μm, or 70 to 150 μm. Within this range, transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be prevented, and an artificial leather having excellent aesthetics, such as a soft feel and a sense of volume, and softness may be manufactured.
- In the present invention, pore size means an average value of the diameters of one pore. When pores have a spherical shape, pore size means an average value of diameters. When pores have a shape other than a spherical shape, pore size means an average value of the lengths of major axes.
- The pore size may be measured at a cut section using a scanning electron microscope after cutting an artificial leather for automotive interior materials vertically.
- Alternatively, referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , thepore layer 20 of the present invention may consist of anon-porous portion 21 located at the bottom and aporous portion 22 located at the top, or may consist of theporous portion 22 located at the bottom and thenon-porous portion 21 located at the top. - The
porous portion 22 may be a portion where open pores and/or closed pores are concentrated, and thenon-porous portion 21 may be a polyurethane portion not containing pores (seeFIG. 8 ). - 5 to 20 pores, 7 to 15 pores, or 9 to 13 pores may be included within a cross-sectional area of 0.15 mm2 of the
porous portion 22. Within this range, transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be prevented, and an artificial leather having excellent aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume may be manufactured. - In addition, 60% or more, 70% or more, or 80% or more of pores included in a cross-sectional area of 0.15 mm2 of the
porous portion 22 may be open pores. Within this range, transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be prevented, and an artificial leather having excellent aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume may be manufactured. - In addition, description of the pore size is the same as that described above, and thus repeated description thereof will be omitted.
- When the number of pores, the ratio of open pores, and the size of pores are measured, an artificial leather for automotive interior materials is vertically cut, and measurement is performed for a cross-sectional area (width: 0.5 mm, length: 0.3 mm) of 0.15 mm2 of the
porous portion 22 using a scanning electron microscope. - In addition, in the present invention, an area of 70% or more, 80% or more, 85% or more, or 90% or more may have a thickness ratio of the
non-porous portion 21 to theporous portion 22 of 0.3 to 1.5:1, 0.5 to 1.5:1, 0.6 to 1.4:1, 0.7 to 1.3:1, or 0.8 to 1.2:1. - When the thickness ratio of the
non-porous portion 21 is less than the range, the elongation of an artificial leather may deteriorate, causing wrinkles. In addition, due to high tensile strength, deployment of an airbag may not be easy. When the thickness ratio of thenon-porous portion 21 exceeds the range, the aesthetics of an artificial leather, such as a soft feel and a sense of volume, may deteriorate, and due to low elongation, wrinkles may form and appearance may be poor. Thus, the thickness ratio of thenon-porous portion 21 may be within the range. - In the present invention, when the thickness ratio of the
non-porous portion 21 to theporous portion 22 is measured, an artificial leather for automotive interior materials is vertically cut, a vertical line is drawn from an arbitrary point of an upper end of thepore layer 20 in the cut section through the lowest point of a pore located at the lowermost portion or the uppermost portion among pores of theporous portion 22 using a scanning electron microscope, the thicknesses of thenon-porous portion 21 and theporous portion 22 are measured, and the thickness ratio of thenon-porous portion 21 to theporous portion 22 is calculated. - Specifically, when the thickness of the
porous portion 22 is measured, an artificial leather for automotive interior materials is vertically cut, a vertical line is drawn from an arbitrary point of an upper end of thepore layer 20 through the lowest point of a pore located at the lowermost portion or the uppermost portion among pores of theporous portion 22, a distance from the top or bottom of thepore layer 20 to the lowest point or highest point of the pore is measured, and the thickness of theporous portion 22 is obtained. - In addition, when the thickness of the
non-porous portion 21 is measured, an artificial leather for automotive interior materials is vertically cut, a vertical line is drawn from an arbitrary point of an upper end of thepore layer 20, a distance from the lowest point or highest point of a pore located at the lowermost portion or the uppermost portion among pores meeting the vertical line to the bottom or top of thepore layer 20 is measured, and the thickness of thenon-porous portion 21 is obtained. - In addition, as shown in
FIGS. 1 to 3 , thepore layer 20 may have a density of 400 to 800 g/L or 500 to 700 g/L. When the density of thepore layer 20 is less than the range, pores becomes uneven. In addition, after completing a process of covering automotive interior materials, some wrinkles may occur in an artificial leather, and surface properties such as abrasion resistance and stain resistance may deteriorate. When the density of thepore layer 20 exceeds the range, after completing a process of covering automotive interior materials, some wrinkles may occur in an artificial leather, and prevention of transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be insignificant. Thus, thepore layer 20 may have a density within the range. - In addition, as an embodiment, when the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention has a seam line, as shown inFIGS. 1 to 3 , thepore layer 20 may have a thickness of 0.2 to 0.5 mm, 0.2 to 0.4 mm, or 0.25 to 0.35 mm. Within this range, transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be prevented, elongation and tensile strength suitable for a process of covering an artificial leather may be achieved, and aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume and softness may be imparted to an artificial leather. - More specifically, as shown in
FIG. 1 , when pores are evenly distributed in thepore layer 20, when the thickness of thepore layer 20 is measured, an artificial leather for automotive interior materials is vertically cut, vertical lines are drawn from five arbitrary points at the top of thepore layer 20, distances from the five arbitrary points to the bottom ofpore layer 20 meeting the vertical lines are measured, and an average value of the distances is calculated to obtain the thickness of thepore layer 20. - Alternatively, as shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , when thepore layer 20 is divided into theporous portion 22 and thenon-porous portion 21, the thickness of thepore layer 20 may be calculated by averaging a sum of the thicknesses of thenon-porous portion 21 and theporous portion 22 with respect to five arbitrary points at the top of thepore layer 20. - In this case, the thickness of each of the
non-porous portion 21 and theporous portion 22 may be 0.08 to 0.42 mm or 0.1 to 0.24 mm. Within this range, elongation and tensile strength suitable for a covering process of automotive interior materials may be achieved, transfer of unevenness may be prevented, and aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume and softness may be imparted to an artificial leather. - Alternatively, when the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention has no seam line, thepore layer 20 shown inFIGS. 1 to 3 may have a thickness of 0.4 to 0.7 mm, 0.45 to 0.6 mm, or 0.45 to 0.5 mm. Within this range, transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be prevented, elongation and tensile strength suitable for a process of covering an artificial leather may be achieved, and aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume and softness may be imparted to an artificial leather. - More specifically, as shown in
FIG. 1 , when pores are evenly distributed in thepore layer 20, a method of measuring the thickness of thepore layer 20 is the same as that described above, and thus repeated description thereof will be omitted. - Alternatively, as shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , when thepore layer 20 is divided into theporous portion 22 and thenon-porous portion 21, a method of measuring the thickness of thepore layer 20 is the same as that described above, and thus repeated description thereof will be omitted. - In this case, the thickness of each of the
non-porous portion 21 and theporous portion 22 may be 0.13 to 0.5 mm, 0.15 to 0.4 mm, or 0.2 to 0.3 mm. Within this range, elongation and tensile strength suitable for a covering process of automotive interior materials may be achieved, transfer of unevenness may be prevented, and aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume and softness may be imparted to an artificial leather. - Adhesive Layer (30)
- The
adhesive layer 30 of the present invention is used to increase adhesion between thepore layer 20 and theskin layer 40, and may be formed using one or more adhesives selected from the group consisting of polyurethane-based adhesives, polyamide-based adhesives, ethylene vinyl acetate-based adhesives, ethylene ethyl acetate-based adhesives, styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers, polyester-based adhesives, ethylene-acrylic copolymers, and polyolefin-based adhesives. - In the present invention, as a specific example, a polyurethane-based adhesive may be used as the adhesive.

- The thickness of the
adhesive layer 30 may be 0.01 to 0.2 mm or 0.02 to 0.1 mm. Within this range, adhesion between thepore layer 20 and theskin layer 40 may be increased. - Skin Layer (40)
- The
skin layer 40 of the present invention is formed to implement a texture similar to that of a natural leather. As a specific example, theskin layer 40 may be formed using a skin layer composition including 10 to 60 parts by weight of a solvent and 10 to 40 parts by weight of a pigment based on 100 parts by weight of a polyurethane resin. - More specifically, the
skin layer 40 may be formed by applying the skin layer composition to an upper portion of a release paper and drying the release paper. - The polyurethane resin may include one or more polyurethane resins selected from the group consisting of polyester polyurethane, polyether polyurethane, polycarbonate polyurethane, polyacetal polyurethane, polyacrylate polyurethane, polyester amide polyurethane, polythioether polyurethane, and polyolefin polyurethane.
- In the present invention, as a specific example, a polycarbonate polyurethane resin having excellent hydrolysis resistance and heat resistance may be used as the polyurethane resin.
- The solvent may include one or more selected from the group consisting of dimethylformamide, methylethylketone, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide, and ethyl acetate.
- In addition, the solvent may be used in an amount of 10 to 60 parts by weight or 20 to 55 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of a polyurethane resin. Within this range, coating properties may be excellent.
- Pigments commonly used in the art may be used as the pigment of the present invention, and the content thereof is not limited. For example, the pigment may be used in an amount of 10 to 40 parts by weight or 10 to 25 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of a polyurethane resin.
- In addition, optionally, the skin layer composition may further include one or more additives selected from the group consisting of UV inhibitors, light stabilizers, antioxidants, flame retardants, slip agents, antistatic agents, dispersants, and surfactants, and the contents and types thereof are not limited within the scope of the present invention.
- In addition, the
skin layer 40 may have a thickness of 0.01 to 0.3 mm or 0.02 to 0.1 mm. Within this range, a texture similar to that of a natural leather may be implemented, and elongation may be increased. - In addition, optionally, the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention may further include a surface treatment layer (not shown) for adjusting the surface gloss of theskin layer 40 and improving light resistance, hydrolysis resistance, and chemical resistance. - Specifically, the surface treatment layer may be formed by applying a surface treatment agent onto the surface of the
skin layer 40. - The surface treatment agent may be a water-based surface treatment agent or an oil-based surface treatment agent. As a specific example, the surface treatment agent may be a two-component water-based surface treatment agent including 1 to 30 parts by weight or 1 to 25 parts by weight of a curing agent, 1 to 30 parts by weight or 1 to 25 parts by weight of a water-based solvent, and 1 to 10 parts by weight or 1 to 5 parts by weight of a silicon compound based on 100 parts by weight of a main material.
- The main material may be a water-dispersed polycarbonate-based polyurethane resin without being limited thereto.
- The curing agent may include one or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of an aziridine group, an isocyanate group, and a carbodiimide group per molecule.
- The silicon compound may be polysiloxane in the form of liquid in which polysiloxane is dispersed in water or polysiloxane in the form of beads, but is preferably polysiloxane in the form of liquid with a good surface texture.
- The water-based solvent may be water, an alcohol, or a mixture thereof.
- The silicon compound may be polysiloxane in the form of liquid in which polysiloxane is dispersed in water or polysiloxane in the form of beads, but is preferably polysiloxane in the form of liquid with a good surface texture.
- The surface treatment layer may have a thickness of 1 to 20 μm or 5 to 10 μm, without being limited thereto.
- The
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention may have a thickness of 0.85 to 1.5 mm, 0.90 to 1.3 mm, or 0.95 to 1.2 mm. Within this range, occurrence of wrinkles may be prevented, and a covering process may be easy. - In addition, as an embodiment, when the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention has a seam line, the thickness ratio of theback layer 10 to thepore layer 20 may be 1.5 to 3:1, 1.6 to 2.9:1, 1.7 to 2.8:1, or 1.8 to 2.7:1. When the thickness ratio of theback layer 10 is less than the range, theback layer 10 in an area where the seam line is formed becomes too thin, thus reducing the durability of an artificial leather. When the thickness ratio of theback layer 10 exceeds the range, thepore layer 20 becomes relatively thin, and thus prevention of transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be insignificant. In addition, the aesthetics of an artificial leather, such as a soft feel and a sense of volume, may deteriorate, and due to too high elongation, wrinkles may occur. Thus, the thickness ratio may be within the range. - In addition, an area of 70% or more, 80% or more, 85% or more, or 90% or more may have a thickness ratio of the
back layer 10 to thepore layer 20 of 1.5 to 3:1, 1.6 to 2.9:1, 1.7 to 2.8:1, or 1.8 to 2.7:1. - Alternatively, when the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention has no seam line, the thickness ratio of theback layer 10 to thepore layer 20 may be 0.5 to 1.5:1, 0.6 to 1.4:1, 0.7 to 1.3:1, or 0.8 to 1.2:1. When the thickness ratio of theback layer 10 is less than the range, theback layer 10 becomes too thin, thus reducing the durability of an artificial leather. When the thickness ratio of theback layer 10 exceeds the range, deployment of an airbag may not be easy without a seam line, and thepore layer 20 becomes relatively thin and thus, prevention of transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material may be insignificant. In addition, the aesthetics of an artificial leather, such as a soft feel and a sense of volume, may deteriorate, and due to too high elongation, wrinkles may occur. Thus, the thickness ratio may be within the range. - In addition, an area of 70% or more, 80% or more, 85% or more, or 90% or more may have a thickness ratio of the
back layer 10 to thepore layer 20 of 0.5 to 1.5:1, 0.6 to 1.4:1, 0.7 to 1.3:1, or 0.8 to 1.2:1. - When the thickness ratio of the
back layer 10 to thepore layer 20 is measured, an artificial leather for automotive interior materials is vertically cut, the thicknesses of each layer at the cut section are measured using a scanning electron microscope, and the thickness ratio of theback layer 10 to thepore layer 20 is calculated. A specific measurement method is the same as that described above, and thus repeated description thereof will be omitted. - In addition, in the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention, the content of polyurethane in theback layer 10 and thepore layer 20 may be 200 to 700 g/m2, 250 to 600 g/m2, or 300 to 500 g/m2. Within this range, the artificial leather for automotive interior materials may have excellent workability during a covering process, and occurrence of wrinkles may be prevented after the covering process. In addition, easy deployment of an airbag may be possible, and excellent durability may be acquired. - More specifically, when the content of polyurethane in the
back layer 10 and thepore layer 20 is less than the range, due to too high elongation, wrinkles may occur in the artificial leather for automotive interior materials, and an embossed pattern formed on the artificial leather may be stretched to make the emboss pattern uneven, resulting in appearance defects. In addition, tensile strength may be reduced, thus deteriorating the durability of an airbag. Thus, the content of polyurethane may be adjusted within the range. When the content of polyurethane in theback layer 10 and thepore layer 20 of the artificial leather for automotive interior materials exceeds the range, elongation may be reduced. Accordingly, it may be difficult to pull the artificial leather during a process of covering an automotive interior material, i.e., workability may deteriorate. In addition, wrinkles may occur in the artificial leather for automotive interior materials after the covering process, resulting in appearance defects. In addition, due to too high tensile strength, deployment of an airbag may not be easy. - When the content of polyurethane in the
back layer 10 and thepore layer 20 is measured, theback layer 10 and thepore layer 20 are impregnated with dimethylformamide so that a polyurethane resin is dissolved in theback layer 10 and thepore layer 20, dimethylformamide is evaporated, and then the weight (g/m2) of theback layer 10 and thepore layer 20 is measured to determine the reduced weight of theback layer 10 and thepore layer 20. Based on these measurement results, the content of the polyurethane resin in theback layer 10 and thepore layer 20 is calculated. - In addition, the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention may have an elongation of 80 to 180%, 80 to 170%, or 90 to 150% in the length direction and an elongation of 110 to 290%, 120 to 280%, or 150 to 270% in the width direction. Within this range, occurrence of wrinkles in the artificial leather for automotive interior materials may be prevented. - Specifically, when the elongation of the artificial leather for automotive interior materials is less than the range, wrinkles may occur in the artificial leather for automotive interior materials, and thus appearance may be defective. In addition, it is difficult to pull the artificial leather during a process of covering an automotive interior material, i.e., workability may deteriorate. When the elongation of the artificial leather exceeds the range, wrinkles may occur in the artificial leather for automotive interior materials, and an embossed pattern formed on the artificial leather may be stretched to make the emboss pattern uneven, resulting in appearance defects.
- In the present invention, the length direction means a machine direction (MD), and the width direction means a transverse direction (TD) perpendicular to the machine direction.
- In the present invention, elongation may be measured using a tensile tester (Instron Co.). After drawing a mark (l) of 100 mm on a specimen, the specimen is fixed to the tester and tensioned at 200 mm/min, and elongation when the specimen is broken is calculated according to
Equation 1. -
L=(L 1 −L 0)/L 0×100 [Equation 1] - (Here, L: elongation (%), L0: distance between marked points before test, L1: distance between marked points when skin or bubbles break after test)
- In addition, the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention may have a tensile strength of 80 kgf/30 mm or less or 70 kgf/30 mm or less in the length direction and a tensile strength of 70 kgf/30 mm or less or 60 kgf/30 mm or less in the width direction. Specifically, theartificial leather 1 may have a tensile strength of 30 to 80 kgf/30 mm or 35 to 70 kgf/30 mm in the length direction and a tensile strength of 20 to 70 kgf/30 mm or 25 to 60 kgf/30 mm in the width direction. Within this range, the artificial leather for automotive interior materials may have excellent durability, and easy deployment of an airbag may be possible. - In the present invention, tensile strength may be measured using a tensile tester (Instron Co.). After drawing a mark (l) of 100 mm on a specimen, the specimen is fixed to the tester and tensioned at 200 mm/min, and maximum weight when the specimen is broken is measured.
- In addition, the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention may have a softness of 3.6 to 4.5 or 3.6 to 4.4. Within this range, aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume may be excellent. - In the present invention, when softness is measured, under conditions of a temperature of 23±2° C. and a relative humidity of 50±5%, an artificial leather specimen having a pi (π) of 100 mm is pressed with a softness measurement device (SDL Atlas, ST300D), and softness is determined by reading a scale that has been moved for 15 seconds.
- In addition, in the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention, the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated may be 1 to 300 μg/m3 or 1 to 150 μg/m3. Within this range, an environmentally friendly effect may be achieved. - When measuring the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated, an artificial leather specimen (width and length: 4 cm×9 cm) is put in a 3 L bag, sealed, and heated in an oven at 65° C. for 2 hours. Then, the specimen is removed from the bag and allowed to stand in a laboratory at 25° C. for 30 minutes. Thereafter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from the specimen are collected, and the amount of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is measured by gas chromatography (GC).
- In addition, the
artificial leather 1 for automotive interior materials of the present invention may be used in one or more automotive interior materials selected from the group consisting of a crash pad, a door trim, a console box, an armrest, a headrest, and a headliner. - The above-described artificial leather for automotive interior materials of the present invention may prevent transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material, is inexpensive, may prevent occurrence of wrinkles, and allows easy deployment of an airbag.
- In addition, the artificial leather for automotive interior materials of the present invention has excellent aesthetics and softness.
- In addition, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an artificial leather for automotive interior materials, the method including:
- back layer formation step S1 of forming a back layer by impregnating a knitted fabric;
- skin layer formation step S1′ of forming a skin layer on an upper portion of a release paper;
- pore layer formation step S3 of forming a pore layer on an upper portion of the back layer;
- adhesive layer formation step S4 of forming an adhesive layer on an upper portion of the skin layer;
- skin layer bonding step S5 of bonding the skin layer on which the adhesive layer has been formed to an upper portion of the pore layer; and
- release paper removal step S7 of removing the release paper,
- wherein the knitted fabric is a circular knitted fabric, and
- the artificial leather has an elongation of 80 to 180% in the length direction and an elongation of 110 to 290% in the width direction; has a tensile strength of 80 kgf/30 mm or less in the length direction and a tensile strength of 70 kgf/30 mm or less in the width direction; and is used in a covering process of automotive interior materials (see FIG. 4).

- Back Layer Formation Step (S1)
- Back layer formation step S1 may be a step of impregnating a knitted fabric with an impregnation solution.
- Specifically, the knitted fabric is impregnated with an impregnation solution (for example, polyurethane solution), coagulated in an aqueous dimethylformamide solution, and rinsed with water. Thereby, the knitted fabric is impregnated with a specific amount of a polyurethane resin. Thus, a finished product, artificial leather, has aesthetics such as a soft feel and a sense of volume, shape-retaining properties capable of withstanding repeated stretching and contraction, and elongation and tensile strength suitable for a covering process and deployment of an airbag.
- The knitted fabric, the impregnation solution, and the aqueous dimethylformamide solution have been described in detail above, and thus repeated description thereof will be omitted.
- Alternatively, optionally, before impregnating a knitted fabric with an impregnation solution, back layer formation step S1 may further include buffing process step S0 of forming a brush on one or both sides of the knitted fabric. In this case, adhesion and aesthetics may be excellent.
- Skin Layer Formation Step (S1′)
- Skin layer formation step S1′ may be a step of applying a skin layer composition onto an upper portion of a release paper and drying the release paper to form a skin layer separately from back layer formation step S1.
- An embossed pattern may be formed on the release paper.
- In addition, detailed description of the skin layer composition is the same as that described above, and thus repeated description thereof will be omitted.
- For example, the application may be performed using one method selected from bar coating, knife coating, roll coating, slit coating, screen printing, and spray coating, without being limited thereto.
- The drying may be performed at a temperature of 60 to 125° C. or 65 to 120° C. for 1 to 10 minutes or 3 to 7 minutes until the skin layer composition containing polyurethane is completed dried.
- Pore Layer Formation Step (S3)
- Pore layer formation step S3 may be a step of forming a pore layer on an upper portion of the back layer.
- Specifically, the upper portion of the back layer is coated with a pore layer composition, and the back layer is coagulated in an aqueous dimethylformamide solution and rinsed with water to form a wet coating layer with uniform fine pores. Then, the back layer is dried to form a pore layer.
- In the present invention, the wet coating layer is a fine pores-containing layer formed by applying thinly the pore layer composition onto an upper portion of a back layer, coagulating the back layer in an aqueous dimethylformamide solution, and rinsing the back layer with water.
- Detailed description of the pore layer composition is the same as that described above, and thus repeated description thereof will be omitted.
- In addition, pore layer formation step S3 and skin layer formation step S1′ are independent of each other, and thus the order of the previous step and the subsequent step may be changed.
- Adhesive Layer Formation Step (S4)
- Adhesive layer formation step S4 may be a step of applying an adhesive onto an upper portion of the skin layer to increase adhesion between the skin layer and the pore layer and performing drying to form an adhesive layer. Drying of the adhesive may performed at a temperature of 70 to 120° C. or 75 to 110° C. for 30 seconds to 5 minutes or 1 minute to 3 minutes.
- In addition, adhesive layer formation step S4 and pore layer formation step S3 are independent of each other, and thus the order of the two steps may be reversed, provided that the two steps are performed after skin layer formation step S1′.
- Detailed description of the adhesive is the same as that described above, and thus repeated description thereof will be omitted.
- Skin Layer Bonding Step (S5)
- Skin layer bonding step S5 may be a step of bonding the skin layer and the pore layer. In this step, aging may be performed at a temperature of 60 to 95° C. or 70 to 90° C. for 40 to 60 hours or 45 to 55 hours.
- Release Paper Removal Step (S7)
- Release paper removal step S7 may be a step of peeling release paper located on one surface of the skin layer. After this step, the artificial leather for automotive interior materials of the present invention including the back layer, which is an impregnated knitted fabric; the pore layer; the adhesive layer; and the skin layer laminated in order from bottom to top is manufactured.
- Optionally, the method of manufacturing an artificial leather for automotive interior materials of the present invention may further include, after release paper removal step S7, step S9 of applying a surface treatment agent onto an upper portion of the skin layer to form a surface treatment layer.
- Specifically, the surface treatment layer may be formed by applying a surface treatment agent onto an upper portion of the skin layer, the uppermost layer, from which the release paper has been removed, and performing drying.
- Detailed description of the surface treatment agent is the same as that described above, and thus repeated description thereof will be omitted.
- Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following preferred examples. However, these examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope and spirit of the present invention. In addition, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and modifications are also within the scope of the appended claims.
- 1. Manufacturing of Artificial Leather for Automotive Interior Materials
- (1) Back Layer Formation Step (S1)
- After impregnating a circular knitted fabric formed by weaving a polyester thread having a thickness of 120 to 170 denier with an impregnation solution, the circular knitted fabric was coagulated in a 5% aqueous dimethylformamide solution and rinsed with water to form a back layer impregnated with a polyurethane resin and having a thickness of 0.6 mm.
- In this case, the impregnation solution was a polyurethane solution including 250 parts by weight of dimethylformamide, 25 parts by weight of a flame retardant, and 30 parts by weight of a pigment based on 100 parts by weight of a polyurethane resin.
- (2) Pore Layer Formation Step (S3)
- The upper portion of the back layer was coated with a pore layer composition including 35 parts by weight of dimethylformamide, 1.5 parts by weight of a pore control agent (BYK-L 9525, Uni-Material Co.), 10 parts by weight of a flame retardant, 0.5 parts by weight of a dispersant (DISPERBYK-130, BYK KOREA Co.), and 10 parts by weight of a pigment based on 100 parts by weight of a polyurethane resin. Then, the back layer was coagulated in a 5% aqueous dimethylformamide solution for 7 minutes and rinsed with water to form a wet coating layer with uniform fine pores. Then, the back layer was dried using a heat tender so that a pore layer having a thickness of 0.3 mm was formed on the upper portion of the back layer.
- In this case, in the pore layer, the thickness of a non-porous portion was 0.08 mm, and the thickness of a porous portion was 0.22 mm (see
FIG. 8 ). - (3) Skin Layer Formation Step (S1′)

- 2. Evaluation of Physical Properties and Aesthetics of Artificial Leather for Automotive Interior Materials
- For the artificial leathers manufactured in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, elongation, tensile strength, softness, and the thickness of each layer were measured. It was determined whether transfer of unevenness and occurrence of wrinkles were prevented after a covering process of automotive interior materials, and aesthetics (a soft feel and a sense of volume) were evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
- Specifically, the elongation, tensile strength, softness, and thickness of the artificial leather were measured before a seam line was formed. Whether transfer of unevenness and occurrence of wrinkles were prevented and aesthetics were evaluated after a seam line was formed and a covering process of automotive interior materials was completed.
- Specific measurement methods are as follows.
- (1) Elongation: Elongation was measured using a tensile tester (Instron Co.). After drawing a mark (l) of 100 mm on the specimen of
FIG. 5 , the specimen was fixed to the tester and tensioned at 200 mm/min, and elongation when the specimen was broken was calculated according toEquation 1. -
L=(L 1 −L 0)/L 0×100 [Equation 1] - (Here, L: elongation (%), L0: distance between marked points before test, L1: distance between marked points when skin or bubbles break after test)
- (2) Tensile strength: Tensile strength was measured using a tensile tester (Instron Co.). After drawing a mark (l) of 100 mm on the specimen of
FIG. 5 , the specimen was fixed to the tester and tensioned at 200 mm/min, and maximum weight when the specimen was broken was measured. - (3) Whether transfer of unevenness is prevented: After completing a covering process of automotive interior materials with the artificial leather, whether transfer of unevenness occurred was visually confirmed.
- When transfer of unevenness was observed entirely, it was marked with “X”. When transfer of unevenness was observed partially, it was marked with “Δ”. When transfer of unevenness was not observed, it was marked with “◯”.
- (4) Whether occurrence of wrinkles is prevented: After completing a covering process of automotive interior materials with the artificial leather, whether occurrence of wrinkles was prevented was visually confirmed.
- When wrinkles were observed entirely, it was marked with “X”. When wrinkles were observed partially, it was marked with “Δ”. When no wrinkles were observed, it was marked with “◯”.
- (5) Aesthetics: After completing a covering process of automotive interior materials with the artificial leather, experts directly touched the artificial leather to check a soft feel and a sense of volume.
- When aesthetics was excellent, it was marked with “◯”. When aesthetics was ordinary, it was marked with “Δ”. When aesthetics was poor, it was marked with “X”.
- (6) Softness: Under conditions of a temperature of 23±2° C. and a relative humidity of 50±5%, an artificial leather specimen having a pi (π) of 100 mm was pressed with a softness measurement device (SDL Atlas, ST300D), and softness was determined by reading a scale that had been moved for 15 seconds.
- (7) Thickness of Each Layer of Artificial Leather
- The artificial leather was cut vertically, and the cut section was photographed using a scanning electron microscope (magnification: 300×) (SU8010, Hitachi Co.). The thickness of each layer of the artificial leather was measured using the obtained image.
- Among the layers of the artificial leather, the surface treatment layer, the skin layer, and the adhesive layer with relatively uniform thickness showed similar values even when measuring various points. Thus, a vertical line was drawn from an arbitrary point of an upper end of each layer, and a distance from the arbitrary point to the bottom of each layer meeting the vertical line was measured. The measured distance was taken as the thickness of the layer.
- In addition, when the thickness of the back layer was measured, vertical lines were drawn from five arbitrary points at the top of the back layer, and distances from the five arbitrary points to the bottom of the back layer meeting the vertical lines were measured. The average value of the distances was taken as the thickness of the back layer. When the thickness of the pore layer was measured, with respect to five arbitrary points at the top of the pore layer, the average value of the sums of the thicknesses of a non-porous portion and a porous portion was taken as the thickness of the pore layer.
- In addition, thickness ratio was calculated using the thicknesses of the back layer and the pore layer.
- (8) Thicknesses of non-porous portion and porous portion in pore layer
- The artificial leather was cut vertically, and the cut section was photographed using a scanning electron microscope (magnification: 300×) (SU8010, Hitachi Co.). Using the obtained image, the thicknesses of the porous portion and the non-porous portion were measured.
- Specifically, the artificial leather for automotive interior materials was cut vertically, and a vertical line was drawn from an arbitrary point of an upper end of the pore layer through the lowest point of a pore located at the lowermost position among the pores of the porous portion, and then a distance from the top of the pore layer to the lowest point of the pore was measured. The measured distance was taken as the thickness of the porous portion.
- In addition, the artificial leather for automotive interior materials was cut vertically, and a vertical line was drawn from an arbitrary point of an upper end of the pore layer through the lowest point of a pore located at the lowermost position among the pores of the porous portion, and then a distance from the lowest point of the pore to the bottom of the pore layer was measured. The measured distance was taken as the thickness of the non-porous portion.
- In addition, thickness ratio was calculated based on the thicknesses of the non-porous portion and the porous portion.

In this case, a circular knitted fabric is used as the back layer, and the artificial leathers for automotive interior materials have a tensile strength of 80 kgf/30 mm or less in the length direction and a tensile strength of 70 kgf/30 mm or less in the width direction. Thus, the artificial leathers may allow easy deployment of an airbag, and due to excellent elongation, prevents occurrence of wrinkles. In addition, transfer of the unevenness of an automotive interior material is prevented, and aesthetics and softness are excellent (see
FIG. 7 ). - On the other hand, in the case of the artificial leather of Comparative Example 1 using a non-impregnated non-woven fabric as the back layer, due to very low elongation, occurrence of wrinkles is not prevented. In addition, compared to the artificial leathers of Examples 1 to 5, due to high tensile strength, deployment of an airbag may not be easy, and aesthetics and softness deteriorate. In particular, due to the absence of a pore layer, prevention of transfer of unevenness is insignificant.
- In addition, since the artificial leather of Comparative Example 2 using an impregnated circular knitted fabric as the back layer does not include a pore layer, elongation is reduced, causing occurrence of wrinkles, and transfer of unevenness is not prevented. In addition, compared to the artificial leathers of Examples 1 to 5, aesthetics and softness deteriorate.
- In addition, in the case of the artificial leather of Comparative Example 3 using an impregnated circular knitted fabric as the back layer but not satisfying the thickness ratio of the non-porous portion to the porous portion of 0.5 to 1.5:1 (i.e., the porous portion is much thicker than the non-porous portion), due to low elongation, an anti-wrinkle effect is insignificant compared to the artificial leathers of Examples 1 to 5, and due to high tensile strength, deployment of an airbag may be not easy.
- In addition, in the case of the artificial leather of Comparative Example 4 using an impregnated circular knitted fabric as the back layer but not satisfying the thickness ratio of the non-porous portion to the porous portion of 0.5 to 1.5:1 (i.e., the porous portion is much thinner than the non-porous portion), due to low elongation, an anti-wrinkle effect is insignificant compared to the artificial leathers of Examples 1 to 5, and due to high tensile strength, deployment of an airbag may be not easy. In addition, prevention of transfer of unevenness is insignificant, and aesthetics and softness deteriorate.
