- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an artificial leather 10 for a vehicle interior material according to one form of the present disclosure.
- the artificial leather 10 for a vehicle interior material includes a fabric layer 100 , a skin layer 200 , and a surface treatment layer 300 .
- the fabric layer 100 is a base substrate of the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material, and the fabric layer may include a fiber layer.
- the number of fiber layers is not limited, but preferably, a single fiber layer is provided.
- the artificial leather including the same is not particularly limited, so long as it is able to perform functions such as supporting the skin layer, reinforcing strength, maintaining an elongation, and the like.
- the fiber layer may include at least one selected from the group consisting of polyester, nylon, cotton, and polypropylene, but is not limited to including a specific component. Also, the fiber layer is in the form of a nonwoven fabric, preferably a circular knit or a warp knit, and is not limited to a specific form.
- the fiber layer may be made into artificial leather through post-treatment with polyurethane, PVA, or a water repellent in order to attain workability and desired properties in the process of manufacturing artificial leather for vehicle interior materials.
- the thickness of the fabric layer including the fiber layer may be 0.6 to 1.6 mm, and preferably 0.8 to 1.4 mm. Outside the above range, if the thickness of the fabric layer is too high, the appearance may deteriorate due to excessive wrinkling when wrapping the interior material, whereas if the thickness of the fabric layer is too low, tearing or bursting may occur during wrapping due to the insufficient strength thereof.
- the skin layer 200 is disposed on the fabric layer, and is not particularly limited, so long as it is able to maintain the appearance of the artificial leather including the same and perform a function of realizing appropriate durability.
- the skin layer may include a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), and may not include a plasticizer.
- TPO thermoplastic polyolefin
- thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is not particularly limited, so long as it is one crosslinked from an olefin-based resin or an olefin-based rubber as a main component, and the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) preferably includes a thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) and an olefin resin, and more preferably includes a partially crosslinked thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) and an olefin resin.
- TPV thermoplastic vulcanizate
- TPV partially crosslinked thermoplastic vulcanizate
- thermoplastic vulcanizate is a binary polymer material characterized by a structure in which crosslinked rubber particles, which are soft segments, are finely dispersed in a thermoplastic resin, which is a hard segment.
- the TPV may be an olefin-based TPV, and may be prepared by melt-blending polypropylene as a base polymer and EPDM, oil, filler, etc. using a twin-screw extruder.
- TPV has the properties of vulcanized rubber at room temperature and has excellent plastic deformation at high temperatures, which allows the matrix to flow, so it has excellent forming processability, mechanical strength, weather resistance, and heat resistance.
- TPV is lightweight due to the low specific gravity thereof, and may be colored, and is also advantageous because the compression set, heat resistance, tensile strength, and oil resistance are superior compared to TPO.
- the thermoplastic vulcanizate includes a non-crosslinked TPV, a partially crosslinked TPV, and a crosslinked TPV.
- the non-crosslinked TPV has higher heat resistance than a general olefin resin, and does not use a crosslinking agent, so there is little change in odor and properties, and superior light resistance and heat resistance are exhibited.
- the partially crosslinked TPV and the crosslinked TPV are capable of inhibiting damage by pressing due to other causes at high temperatures, and thus have an advantage of inhibiting surface damage due to external force at high temperatures.
- thermoplastic vulcanizate may include, based on a total of 100 wt % of TPV, 30 to 70 wt %, of a non-crosslinked TPV, and 40 to 80 wt % of a partially crosslinked or crosslinked TPV. Outside the above range, if the amount of the non-crosslinked TPV is too small, calendering processability may deteriorate, whereas if the amount of the non-crosslinked TPV is too large, the appearance may deteriorate during the forming process due to the decreased melt strength thereof. In addition, if the amount of the partially crosslinked or crosslinked TPV is too small, poor formability, such as insufficient elongation, may occur. On the other hand, if the amount of the partially crosslinked or crosslinked TPV is too large, it is difficult to perform calendering, and surface defects may occur due to non-melted materials.
- the olefin resin which is an aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon, may be an olefin resin in which a monomer having a carbon double bond in a molecular structure is polymerized, and is not limited to including a specific component, but preferably includes polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).
- PP polypropylene
- PE polyethylene
- the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) may include 50 to 80 wt % of the thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) and 20 to 50 wt % of the olefin resin. Outside the above range, if the amount of the TPV is too small or the amount of the olefin resin is too large, mechanical properties may be weakened and softening may occur, and thus the surface may be deteriorated due to the formation of pressing marks upon lamination to artificial leather for a vehicle interior material.
- TPV thermoplastic vulcanizate
- the thickness of the skin layer may be 0.1 to 0.8 mm, and preferably 0.2 to 0.7 mm. Outside the above range, if the thickness of the skin layer is too low, the skin layer may be exposed or torn after forming, whereas if the thickness thereof is too high, the product may become hard and formability may decrease.
- the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material includes the skin layer in which the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) includes the thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) and the olefin resin in specific amounts. Therefore, it is harmless to the human body, does not generate harmful substances during incineration, and is environmentally friendly due to the use of a recyclable resin, and moreover, quality problems such as stickiness, glossiness, cracking, etc. due to plasticizer migration do not occur.
- TPO thermoplastic polyolefin
- TPV thermoplastic vulcanizate
- the surface treatment layer 300 is located on the skin layer, and is not particularly limited, so long as it is able to improve scratch resistance, fouling resistance, surface properties, and a tactile sensation.
- the surface treatment layer may be formed through treatment using a mixture of a primer and a top-coating agent.
- the primer may include chlorinated polyolefin and polyurethane
- the top-coating agent may include polyurethane.
- the primer functions to increase the adhesion of the aqueous surface treatment agent, and preferably includes 1 to 10 wt % of chlorinated polyolefin, 10 to 30 wt % of polyurethane, and 60 to 85 wt % of distilled water as a solvent.
- the amount of chlorinated polyolefin is too small, properties may be deteriorated due to poor adhesion of the surface treatment layer, or the appearance after forming may become poor, whereas if the amount of chlorinated polyolefin is too large, it is difficult to realize surface properties suitable for application to vehicles. Also, if the amount of polyurethane is too small, the surface properties may be deteriorated, whereas if the amount of polyurethane is too large, the properties may be deteriorated due to poor adhesion of the surface treatment layer.
- the top-coating agent functions to impart a desired tactile sensation and surface durability, and preferably includes polyurethane using distilled water as a solvent. Moreover, a silicone- or fluorine-based antifouling coating agent may be further included in order to add an antifouling coating.
- the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material includes the fabric layer, the skin layer, and the surface treatment layer, having the above characteristics, which are sequentially laminated, and has a static load elongation of 30 to 130% and an elongation at break of 120 to 180%. Outside the above range, if the static load elongation is too low or the elongation at break is too low, the artificial leather may not be stretched but may be torn or wrinkled when the wrapping process is performed using a thermoforming process in order to manufacture a vehicle interior material. On the other hand, if the static load elongation is too high or the elongation at break is too high, lifting may occur due to shrinkage when manufacturing a vehicle interior material.
- the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure does not cause tearing, pressing, and lifting after application when applied to a vehicle interior material, and thus is advantageous because of superior applicability to parts, such as part formability and part performance.
- the skin layer in the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material includes the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) and the olefin resin at an optimal ratio
- the skin layer may be attached to the fabric layer and then the surface treatment layer may be formed on the surface of the skin layer opposite the surface attached to the fabric layer, using a calendaring process having high cost competitiveness, and moreover, an embossed pattern may be formed on the surface of the surface treatment layer using embossing rolls or release paper.

- the vehicle interior material 1 includes an artificial leather 10 for a vehicle interior material, a cushion layer 20 , and a substrate 30 .
- the artificial leather 10 for a vehicle interior material may be the same as the artificial leather 10 according to one form of the present disclosure as described above.
- the cushion layer 20 may be located under the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material, and may function to impart a cushion feeling to the vehicle interior material including the same so as to absorb shocks, and may include, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), but is not limited to including a specific component.

- PP polypropylene
- PC polycarbonate
- ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
- the substrate uses a coating layer and an adhesive, which will be described later, and thus pretreatment for enhancing adhesion, such as etching or primer treatment, is not desired.
- the vehicle interior material of the present disclosure may include a coating layer (not shown) between the cushion layer and the substrate, rather than pre-treating the substrate, thereby improving adhesion between the cushion layer and the substrate.
- the coating layer may include at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), capable of contributing to increasing adhesion by improving adhesive wettability after heating, and is not limited to including a specific component, but preferably includes polyethylene.
- an adhesive may be used to enhance adhesion between the cushion layer located under the artificial leather and the substrate.
- a rubber-based adhesive added with a crosslinking agent in order to inhibit a lifting phenomenon from the substrate even under harsh environmental conditions such as heat, moisture, and cold.
- the rubber-based adhesive may be a typical rubber-based adhesive capable of being used in the present disclosure, for example, a chloroprene-based rubber adhesive or a polyurethane adhesive, and is not limited to including an adhesive of a specific component.
- the crosslinking agent may be, for example, a silane-based crosslinking agent capable of reacting with a rubber-based adhesive to thus inhibit lifting of the cushion layer and the substrate, and may include at least one selected from the group consisting of alkoxysilanes, such as vinylethoxysilane, vinyl-tris-( ⁇ -methoxyethoxy)silane, methacryloylpropyltrimethoxysilane, ⁇ -amino-propyltriethoxysilane, ⁇ -mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, methyltrimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane and trimethoxysilane, epoxy silanes, such as triepoxy silane, aminosilanes, such as butylaminosilane and epoxy-aminosilane, alkylsilanes, such as methylsilane, dimethylsilane, vinylmethyldimethylcyclotrisiloxane, dimethylsilane-o
- the vehicle interior material including the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure and manufactured using the cushion layer, the substrate, the coating layer and the adhesive satisfying the above characteristics, is advantageous because tearing, pressing, and lifting after application do not occur.
- Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 Manufacture of Artificial Leather for Vehicle Interior Material
- Example 2 The artificial leather for a vehicle interior material manufactured in Example 1 was disposed as the uppermost layer, and a cushion layer and a coating layer (Comparative Examples not including a coating layer are represented as “-” in the following table) were adhered thereunder as shown in Table 2 below, after which an adhesive was applied on the attachment surface on the substrate and the coating layer, followed by thermoforming, thereby manufacturing vehicle interior materials.
- Test Example 1 Evaluation of Properties Depending on Composition of Artificial Leather for Vehicle Interior Material
- the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material was manufactured according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, and the properties thereof, such as surface treatment adhesion and the like, were evaluated depending on the composition thereof. The results thereof are shown in Table 3 below.
- Comparative Examples 1 and 4 in which the amount of chlorinated polyolefin in the primer used to manufacture the surface treatment layer did not satisfy the numerical range of the present disclosure, exhibited insufficient surface treatment adhesion. Also, in Comparative Examples 1 to 5, in which the amount of the thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) used as the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) in the skin layer did not satisfy the numerical range of the present disclosure (below the lower limit), the shape thereof was changed upon heating due to thermoplastic properties and thus a pressing phenomenon occurred, indicating that pressability after heating was deteriorated.

- the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material may exhibit static load elongation of 30-130% and elongation at break of 120-180%, and even when applied to vehicle interior materials, tearing, pressing, and lifting after application do not occur, ultimately manifesting superior applicability to parts, such as part formability and part performance.
- Comparative Example 6 not including the cushion layer, it was confirmed that adhesive wettability was deteriorated and thus lifting after exposure to the complex environment occurred. Also, in Comparative Example 7, including the cushion layer made of PP foam, rather than PU foam, a high creep durability value resulted, and thus adhesion was poor, indicating that lifting occurred after exposure to the complex environment.
- Comparative Examples 8 and 9 using a general adhesive not added with the crosslinking agent, creep durability was high and thus adhesion became weak and lifting occurred after exposure to the complex environment, compared to Examples 3 and 4 using an adhesive added with the crosslinking agent.
- Example 2 and Example 3 including the coating layer had low creep durability values compared to the vehicle interior material not including the coating layer, so adhesion was strengthened, indicating that lifting did not occur after exposure to the complex environment.
- the vehicle interior material including the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure and manufactured using the cushion layer, the substrate, the coating layer and the adhesive satisfying the above characteristics is advantageous because tearing, pressing, and lifting after application do not occur.

- When conventional artificial leather is applied to vehicle interior materials, particularly when applied to backboard wrapping, tearing, pressing, and lifting after application may occur, and applicability to parts, such as part formability and part performance, is low, which is undesirable.
- Therefore, the inventors of the present disclosure have developed artificial leather for vehicle interior materials, which is harmless to the human body due to the absence of additives such as flame retardants or plasticizers included in artificial leather, avoids undesired quality such as glossiness, cracking and the like by improving the components and amounts of the skin layer included therein, and does not cause tearing, pressing, and lifting after application even when applied to vehicle interior materials, thereby exhibiting superior applicability to parts, such as part formability and part performance, thus culminating in the present disclosure.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing anartificial leather 10 for a vehicle interior material according to one form of the present disclosure. With reference thereto, theartificial leather 10 for a vehicle interior material includes afabric layer 100, askin layer 200, and asurface treatment layer 300. - The
fabric layer 100 is a base substrate of the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material, and the fabric layer may include a fiber layer. Here, the number of fiber layers is not limited, but preferably, a single fiber layer is provided. The artificial leather including the same is not particularly limited, so long as it is able to perform functions such as supporting the skin layer, reinforcing strength, maintaining an elongation, and the like. - The fiber layer may include at least one selected from the group consisting of polyester, nylon, cotton, and polypropylene, but is not limited to including a specific component. Also, the fiber layer is in the form of a nonwoven fabric, preferably a circular knit or a warp knit, and is not limited to a specific form.
- Also, the fiber layer may be made into artificial leather through post-treatment with polyurethane, PVA, or a water repellent in order to attain workability and desired properties in the process of manufacturing artificial leather for vehicle interior materials.
- The thickness of the fabric layer including the fiber layer may be 0.6 to 1.6 mm, and preferably 0.8 to 1.4 mm. Outside the above range, if the thickness of the fabric layer is too high, the appearance may deteriorate due to excessive wrinkling when wrapping the interior material, whereas if the thickness of the fabric layer is too low, tearing or bursting may occur during wrapping due to the insufficient strength thereof.
- The
skin layer 200 is disposed on the fabric layer, and is not particularly limited, so long as it is able to maintain the appearance of the artificial leather including the same and perform a function of realizing appropriate durability. - The skin layer may include a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO), and may not include a plasticizer.
- Specifically, the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is not particularly limited, so long as it is one crosslinked from an olefin-based resin or an olefin-based rubber as a main component, and the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) preferably includes a thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) and an olefin resin, and more preferably includes a partially crosslinked thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) and an olefin resin.
- The thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) is a binary polymer material characterized by a structure in which crosslinked rubber particles, which are soft segments, are finely dispersed in a thermoplastic resin, which is a hard segment. The TPV may be an olefin-based TPV, and may be prepared by melt-blending polypropylene as a base polymer and EPDM, oil, filler, etc. using a twin-screw extruder. TPV has the properties of vulcanized rubber at room temperature and has excellent plastic deformation at high temperatures, which allows the matrix to flow, so it has excellent forming processability, mechanical strength, weather resistance, and heat resistance. Moreover, TPV is lightweight due to the low specific gravity thereof, and may be colored, and is also advantageous because the compression set, heat resistance, tensile strength, and oil resistance are superior compared to TPO.
- Preferably, the thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) includes a non-crosslinked TPV, a partially crosslinked TPV, and a crosslinked TPV. The non-crosslinked TPV has higher heat resistance than a general olefin resin, and does not use a crosslinking agent, so there is little change in odor and properties, and superior light resistance and heat resistance are exhibited. Meanwhile, the partially crosslinked TPV and the crosslinked TPV are capable of inhibiting damage by pressing due to other causes at high temperatures, and thus have an advantage of inhibiting surface damage due to external force at high temperatures.
- Accordingly, the thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) may include, based on a total of 100 wt % of TPV, 30 to 70 wt %, of a non-crosslinked TPV, and 40 to 80 wt % of a partially crosslinked or crosslinked TPV. Outside the above range, if the amount of the non-crosslinked TPV is too small, calendering processability may deteriorate, whereas if the amount of the non-crosslinked TPV is too large, the appearance may deteriorate during the forming process due to the decreased melt strength thereof. In addition, if the amount of the partially crosslinked or crosslinked TPV is too small, poor formability, such as insufficient elongation, may occur. On the other hand, if the amount of the partially crosslinked or crosslinked TPV is too large, it is difficult to perform calendering, and surface defects may occur due to non-melted materials.
- The olefin resin, which is an aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon, may be an olefin resin in which a monomer having a carbon double bond in a molecular structure is polymerized, and is not limited to including a specific component, but preferably includes polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).
- The thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) may include 50 to 80 wt % of the thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) and 20 to 50 wt % of the olefin resin. Outside the above range, if the amount of the TPV is too small or the amount of the olefin resin is too large, mechanical properties may be weakened and softening may occur, and thus the surface may be deteriorated due to the formation of pressing marks upon lamination to artificial leather for a vehicle interior material. On the other hand, if the amount of the TPV is too large or the amount of the olefin resin is too small, economic efficiency is low due to the high manufacturing cost thereof, and moreover, the viscosity is excessively high, undesirably leading to low productivity.
- The thickness of the skin layer may be 0.1 to 0.8 mm, and preferably 0.2 to 0.7 mm. Outside the above range, if the thickness of the skin layer is too low, the skin layer may be exposed or torn after forming, whereas if the thickness thereof is too high, the product may become hard and formability may decrease.
- Specifically, the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure includes the skin layer in which the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) includes the thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) and the olefin resin in specific amounts. Therefore, it is harmless to the human body, does not generate harmful substances during incineration, and is environmentally friendly due to the use of a recyclable resin, and moreover, quality problems such as stickiness, glossiness, cracking, etc. due to plasticizer migration do not occur.
- The
surface treatment layer 300 is located on the skin layer, and is not particularly limited, so long as it is able to improve scratch resistance, fouling resistance, surface properties, and a tactile sensation. - The surface treatment layer may be formed through treatment using a mixture of a primer and a top-coating agent. Specifically, the primer may include chlorinated polyolefin and polyurethane, and the top-coating agent may include polyurethane.
- The primer functions to increase the adhesion of the aqueous surface treatment agent, and preferably includes 1 to 10 wt % of chlorinated polyolefin, 10 to 30 wt % of polyurethane, and 60 to 85 wt % of distilled water as a solvent.
- Outside the above range, if the amount of chlorinated polyolefin is too small, properties may be deteriorated due to poor adhesion of the surface treatment layer, or the appearance after forming may become poor, whereas if the amount of chlorinated polyolefin is too large, it is difficult to realize surface properties suitable for application to vehicles. Also, if the amount of polyurethane is too small, the surface properties may be deteriorated, whereas if the amount of polyurethane is too large, the properties may be deteriorated due to poor adhesion of the surface treatment layer.
- The top-coating agent functions to impart a desired tactile sensation and surface durability, and preferably includes polyurethane using distilled water as a solvent. Moreover, a silicone- or fluorine-based antifouling coating agent may be further included in order to add an antifouling coating.
- Specifically, the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure includes the fabric layer, the skin layer, and the surface treatment layer, having the above characteristics, which are sequentially laminated, and has a static load elongation of 30 to 130% and an elongation at break of 120 to 180%. Outside the above range, if the static load elongation is too low or the elongation at break is too low, the artificial leather may not be stretched but may be torn or wrinkled when the wrapping process is performed using a thermoforming process in order to manufacture a vehicle interior material. On the other hand, if the static load elongation is too high or the elongation at break is too high, lifting may occur due to shrinkage when manufacturing a vehicle interior material. In summary, the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure does not cause tearing, pressing, and lifting after application when applied to a vehicle interior material, and thus is advantageous because of superior applicability to parts, such as part formability and part performance.
- In particular, since the skin layer in the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure includes the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) and the olefin resin at an optimal ratio, the skin layer may be attached to the fabric layer and then the surface treatment layer may be formed on the surface of the skin layer opposite the surface attached to the fabric layer, using a calendaring process having high cost competitiveness, and moreover, an embossed pattern may be formed on the surface of the surface treatment layer using embossing rolls or release paper.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a vehicleinterior material 1 according to another form of the present disclosure. With reference thereto, the vehicleinterior material 1 includes anartificial leather 10 for a vehicle interior material, acushion layer 20, and asubstrate 30. - Here, the
artificial leather 10 for a vehicle interior material may be the same as theartificial leather 10 according to one form of the present disclosure as described above. - The
cushion layer 20 may be located under the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material, and may function to impart a cushion feeling to the vehicle interior material including the same so as to absorb shocks, and may include, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), but is not limited to including a specific component. - The
substrate 30 is a basic part of the vehicle interior material, and may be attached to the cushion layer using an adhesive. The substrate may be a typical plastic part for an interior material capable of being used in the present disclosure, for example, a part including at least one selected from the group consisting of polypropylene (PP) plastics and polycarbonate (PC)/ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) plastics, but is not limited to including a specific plastic. The substrate uses a coating layer and an adhesive, which will be described later, and thus pretreatment for enhancing adhesion, such as etching or primer treatment, is not desired. - The vehicle interior material of the present disclosure may include a coating layer (not shown) between the cushion layer and the substrate, rather than pre-treating the substrate, thereby improving adhesion between the cushion layer and the substrate. Specifically, the coating layer may include at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), capable of contributing to increasing adhesion by improving adhesive wettability after heating, and is not limited to including a specific component, but preferably includes polyethylene.
- Moreover, in the present disclosure, an adhesive may be used to enhance adhesion between the cushion layer located under the artificial leather and the substrate. Here, it is preferable to use a rubber-based adhesive added with a crosslinking agent in order to inhibit a lifting phenomenon from the substrate even under harsh environmental conditions such as heat, moisture, and cold.
- The rubber-based adhesive may be a typical rubber-based adhesive capable of being used in the present disclosure, for example, a chloroprene-based rubber adhesive or a polyurethane adhesive, and is not limited to including an adhesive of a specific component.
- The crosslinking agent may be, for example, a silane-based crosslinking agent capable of reacting with a rubber-based adhesive to thus inhibit lifting of the cushion layer and the substrate, and may include at least one selected from the group consisting of alkoxysilanes, such as vinylethoxysilane, vinyl-tris-(β-methoxyethoxy)silane, methacryloylpropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-amino-propyltriethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, methyltrimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane and trimethoxysilane, epoxy silanes, such as triepoxy silane, aminosilanes, such as butylaminosilane and epoxy-aminosilane, alkylsilanes, such as methylsilane, dimethylsilane, vinylmethyldimethylcyclotrisiloxane, dimethylsilane-oxocyclopentane, cyclohexylsilane and cyclohexyldisilane, silane, and disilane, and is not limited to including a specific component.
- Specifically, the vehicle interior material, including the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure and manufactured using the cushion layer, the substrate, the coating layer and the adhesive satisfying the above characteristics, is advantageous because tearing, pressing, and lifting after application do not occur.
- A better understanding of the present disclosure may be obtained through the following examples. However, these examples are merely set forth to illustrate the present disclosure, and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure.
- The components in the amounts shown in Table 1 below were mixed and kneaded using a Super mixer to form a skin layer, which was then laminated with a fabric layer using calendering process, followed by thermal compression. Thereafter, a surface treatment layer was formed on the skin layer through treatment with a mixture of a primer including the components in the amounts shown in Table 1 below and a top-coating agent, thereby manufacturing artificial leather for a vehicle interior material.

- Surface treatment adhesion: When applying the surface treatment agent after attachment of TPO and a fiber layer through calendering, whether the upper surface of TPO was stably treated without coating marks was determined
- Elongation at break: According to MS300-31:2020, pertaining to standard test method specifications for leather, artificial leather and sheets, measurement was performed at a tensile speed of 200 mm/min and a gauge length of 100 mm
- Static load elongation: According to MS300-31:2020, pertaining to standard test method specifications for leather, artificial leather and sheets, elongation was measured after 10 minutes under a load of 8 kg at a gauge length of 100 mm
- Light resistance: According to MS300-31:2020, pertaining to standard test method specifications for leather, artificial leather and sheets, whether a test sample became discolored/faded based on a grayscale color change at a total dose of 84 MJ/m2 of a Xenon lamp light source using a test device of ISO 105 was determined
- Formability: Using a thermoforming process, the artificial leather was located at the uppermost position and a plastic part to be wrapped was disposed thereunder, after which air was sucked from the region beneath the plastic part and vacuum attachment was thus performed, and then the appearance was determined depending on whether the artificial leather was normally formed/attached to the plastic (problem phenomena: wrinkling, tearing, etc.).
- Pressability after heating: The artificial leather was placed in a chamber at 90° C., a 1 kg weight was placed thereon, and the extent of pressing of the artificial leather due to the load of the weight after 1 hour was determined.
- Lifting after exposure to complex environment: The part was allowed to stand for a total of 3 cycles under changing environmental conditions (90° C.×4 hours→−40° C.×3 hours→50° C., 95% RH×7 hours), after which whether the plastic part and the artificial leather were separated and whether lifting occurred were determined.
- Creep durability: According to MS715-73:2020, pertaining to adhesive standards, the substrate and the skin material were attached using an adhesive, after which a 100 g weight was hung from a portion of the skin material and left at 80° C. for 1 hour, and the peeled length between the substrate and the skin material due to heat and the load of the weight was then measured.
- The artificial leather for a vehicle interior material was manufactured according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, and the properties thereof, such as surface treatment adhesion and the like, were evaluated depending on the composition thereof. The results thereof are shown in Table 3 below.
-
TABLE 3 Properties Static load Surface elongation Pressability treatment Elongation (width Light after Classification adhesion at break direction) resistance Formability heating Example 1 Good 80/170 105 Grade 4 OK Good Comparative Poor 87/122 44 Grade 4 NG (torn) Pressed Example 1 Comparative Good 87/122 44 Grade 4 NG (torn) Pressed Example 2 Comparative Good 80/170 105 Grade 4 OK Pressed Example 3 Comparative Poor 81/150 57 Grade 4 OK Pressed Example 4 Comparative Good 87/122 44 Grade 4 NG (torn) Pressed Example 5 Target Good 150-200 55-130 Grade 3-5 Pass Pass properties - As is apparent from Table 3, Comparative Examples 1 and 4, in which the amount of chlorinated polyolefin in the primer used to manufacture the surface treatment layer did not satisfy the numerical range of the present disclosure, exhibited insufficient surface treatment adhesion. Also, in Comparative Examples 1 to 5, in which the amount of the thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) used as the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) in the skin layer did not satisfy the numerical range of the present disclosure (below the lower limit), the shape thereof was changed upon heating due to thermoplastic properties and thus a pressing phenomenon occurred, indicating that pressability after heating was deteriorated.
- Also, in Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 5 using lining terry as the fabric layer, tearing occurred due to variation in formability, indicating that the fabric layer influenced elongation to some extent and thus affected formability.
- Specifically, since the skin layer in the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure includes the thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) and the olefin resin at an optimal ratio, the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure is harmless to the human body due to the absence of additives such as flame retardants or plasticizers, does not generate harmful substances during incineration, is environmentally friendly due to the use of a recyclable resin, and does not cause undesired quality such as stickiness, glossiness, and cracking due to plasticizer migration. Moreover, the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure may exhibit static load elongation of 30-130% and elongation at break of 120-180%, and even when applied to vehicle interior materials, tearing, pressing, and lifting after application do not occur, ultimately manifesting superior applicability to parts, such as part formability and part performance.
- According to Examples 2 to 4 and Comparative Examples 6 to 9, vehicle interior materials were manufactured, and the properties thereof, such as creep durability and the like, were evaluated. The results thereof are shown in Table 4 below.
-
TABLE 4 Properties Lifting after exposure to Creep Classification complex environment durability Example 2 No lifting 5 Example 3 No lifting 2 Example 4 No lifting 9 Comparative Example 6 Lifting 60 Comparative Example 7 Lifting 45 Comparative Example 8 Lifting 41 Comparative Example 9 Lifting 20 Target performance No lifting 20 mm or less - As is apparent from Table 4, in Comparative Example 6 not including the cushion layer, it was confirmed that adhesive wettability was deteriorated and thus lifting after exposure to the complex environment occurred. Also, in Comparative Example 7, including the cushion layer made of PP foam, rather than PU foam, a high creep durability value resulted, and thus adhesion was poor, indicating that lifting occurred after exposure to the complex environment.
- Also, in Comparative Examples 8 and 9, using a general adhesive not added with the crosslinking agent, creep durability was high and thus adhesion became weak and lifting occurred after exposure to the complex environment, compared to Examples 3 and 4 using an adhesive added with the crosslinking agent.
- Moreover, Example 2 and Example 3 including the coating layer had low creep durability values compared to the vehicle interior material not including the coating layer, so adhesion was strengthened, indicating that lifting did not occur after exposure to the complex environment.
- Also, in Examples 2 and 3, using different types of substrates, there were differences in the creep durability value, but lifting did not occur after exposure to the complex environment.
- Specifically, the vehicle interior material including the artificial leather for a vehicle interior material according to the present disclosure and manufactured using the cushion layer, the substrate, the coating layer and the adhesive satisfying the above characteristics is advantageous because tearing, pressing, and lifting after application do not occur.
