- the present invention relates to a solvent-free base and a method for producing the same.
- Synthetic leather has been used in various fields of daily life and is becoming increasingly popular. Synthetic leather can be divided into solvent-borne synthetic leather, water-borne synthetic leather, and solvent-free synthetic leather according to production processes.
- solvent-borne synthetic leather In the production process of solvent-borne synthetic leather, organic solvents, such as dimethylformamide (DMF), are required to dissolve polyurethane (Pll) resins, and then water is used to replace the DMF, so that the coating has continuous pores and thus has moisture permeability and air permeability.
- Solvent-borne synthetic leather uses a large amount of organic solvents, such as DMF, toluene, etc., which will cause serious ecological and environmental pollution and are detrimental to people’s health.
- the residual solvents in products not only cause continuous pollution, but also affect the quality of the finished leather and user experience.
- waterborne synthetic leather In order to overcome the disadvantages of solvent-borne synthetic leather, waterborne synthetic leather has been developed, using water instead of organic solvents.
- the process for producing water-based synthetic leather consumes a significant amount of energy, and its physical properties can also be affected to some extent.
- solvent-free synthetic leather has been developed.
- the solvent-free process adopts the principle of reaction molding. Taking Pll as an example, the Pll raw materials are mixed, applied to a fabric, and then sent to a drying tunnel. The Pll raw materials are reacted and molded to form a Pll coating.
- the solvent-free process requires no solvents, and can realize rapid prototyping, low emission and low pollution.
- Solvent-free Pll synthetic leather is not only as good as solvent-borne synthetic leather with respect to high mechanical strength, wear resistance, aging resistance, and good elasticity, but also has the advantages of being non-toxic, pollution-free, low energy consumption, and good moisture permeability and air permeability. So, solvent-free synthetic leather has been more and more attracting the interest of people.
- solvent-free synthetic leather is usually produced by a single manufacturer using Pll raw materials, that is, the Pll raw materials are mixed, knife coated, and sprayed on a fabric, and then sent to a drying tunnel; the Pll raw materials are reacted and molded to obtain a Pll layer. Then, an adhesive is applied to a Pll layer which is not yet completely cured, and a topcoat is applied to the adhesive layer, and cured to obtain a complete synthetic leather.
- the present invention provides a solvent- free base, which comprises a substrate layer and a polyurethane layer, preferably consists of a substrate layer and a polyurethane layer.
- This base can be used to produce synthetic leather by downstream manufacturers. Downstream manufacturers only need to apply adhesive directly to it, and then apply a topcoat to obtain a finished synthetic leather. Thus, it saves investment costs for downstream manufacturers with respect to, for example, long drying tunnels, low pressure mixers, and training for skilled workers.
- this synthetic leather compared with the solvent-borne synthetic leather and solvent-free synthetic leather in the prior art, this synthetic leather has comparable or even better peeling, flexing and other properties.
- this preparation process provides a better feel, as it involves directly applying a polyurethane system to the substrate layer without a step of physical squeezing.
- the solvent-free base of the present invention can be wound up without sticking, and is stable for storage, thus allowing for long-distance transportation or long-term storage.

Description
Solvent-free base and method for producing the same
Technical field
The present invention relates to a solvent-free base and a method for producing the same.
Background art
Synthetic leather has been used in various fields of daily life and is becoming increasingly popular. Synthetic leather can be divided into solvent-borne synthetic leather, water-borne synthetic leather, and solvent-free synthetic leather according to production processes.
In the production process of solvent-borne synthetic leather, organic solvents, such as dimethylformamide (DMF), are required to dissolve polyurethane (Pll) resins, and then water is used to replace the DMF, so that the coating has continuous pores and thus has moisture permeability and air permeability. Solvent-borne synthetic leather uses a large amount of organic solvents, such as DMF, toluene, etc., which will cause serious ecological and environmental pollution and are detrimental to people’s health. In addition, the residual solvents in products not only cause continuous pollution, but also affect the quality of the finished leather and user experience.
In order to overcome the disadvantages of solvent-borne synthetic leather, waterborne synthetic leather has been developed, using water instead of organic solvents. However, the process for producing water-based synthetic leather consumes a significant amount of energy, and its physical properties can also be affected to some extent.
Therefore, solvent-free synthetic leather has been developed. The solvent-free process adopts the principle of reaction molding. Taking Pll as an example, the Pll raw materials are mixed, applied to a fabric, and then sent to a drying tunnel. The Pll raw materials are reacted and molded to form a Pll coating. The solvent-free process requires no solvents, and can realize rapid prototyping, low emission and low pollution. Solvent-free Pll synthetic leather is not only as good as solvent-borne synthetic leather with respect to high mechanical strength, wear resistance, aging resistance, and good elasticity, but also has the advantages of being non-toxic, pollution-free, low energy consumption, and good moisture permeability and air permeability. So, solvent-free synthetic leather has been more and more attracting the interest of people.
In the prior arts, solvent-free synthetic leather is usually produced by a single manufacturer using Pll raw materials, that is, the Pll raw materials are mixed, knife coated, and sprayed on a fabric, and then sent to a drying tunnel; the Pll raw materials are reacted and molded to obtain a Pll layer. Then, an adhesive is applied to a Pll layer which is not yet completely cured, and a topcoat is applied to the adhesive layer, and cured to obtain a complete synthetic leather.
However, this approach has the following problems: 1) the manufacturer needs to provide a long drying tunnel for curing, which requires a high investment cost and a long time on modification when modifying the process; 2) for solvent-free processing, a large number of experienced workers are needed, but many small to medium size synthetic leather manufacturers do not have such knowledge; 3) for two-component Pll, a low pressure mixer is required, which greatly increases the production cost.
There is an urgent need to address these problems in the art.
Summary
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior arts. Therefore, the present invention provides a solvent- free base, which comprises a substrate layer and a polyurethane layer, preferably consists of a substrate layer and a polyurethane layer. This base can be used to produce synthetic leather by downstream manufacturers. Downstream manufacturers only need to apply adhesive directly to it, and then apply a topcoat to obtain a finished synthetic leather. Thus, it saves investment costs for downstream manufacturers with respect to, for example, long drying tunnels, low pressure mixers, and training for skilled workers. In addition, compared with the solvent-borne synthetic leather and solvent-free synthetic leather in the prior art, this synthetic leather has comparable or even better peeling, flexing and other properties. In particular, this preparation process provides a better feel, as it involves directly applying a polyurethane system to the substrate layer without a step of physical squeezing. In addition, the solvent-free base of the present invention can be wound up without sticking, and is stable for storage, thus allowing for long-distance transportation or long-term storage.
In addition, the present invention also provides a solvent-free base, which is produced by a process comprising the steps of:
1a) providing a substrate layer,
2a) applying components of the polyurethane system atop the substrate layer,
3a) curing the components of the polyurethane system to form a polyurethane layer; or
the base is produced by a process comprising the steps of:
1b) providing a release layer,
2b) applying components of the polyurethane system atop the release layer,
3b) pre-curing the components of the polyurethane system,
4b) applying a substrate layer atop the pre-cured components of the polyurethane system,
5b) post-curing the components of the polyurethane system to form a polyurethane layer,
6b) separating the release layer from the polyurethane layer.
Moreover, the present invention also provides a process for producing solvent-free base, which comprises the steps of: la) providing a substrate layer,
2a) applying components of the polyurethane system atop the substrate layer,
3a) curing the components of the polyurethane system to form a polyurethane layer; or the process comprising the steps of: lb) providing a release layer,
2b) applying components of the polyurethane system atop the release layer,
3b) pre-curing the components of the polyurethane system,
4b) applying a substrate layer atop the pre-cured components of the polyurethane system,
5b) post-curing the components of the polyurethane system to form a polyurethane layer,
6b) separating the release layer from the polyurethane layer.
The present invention will be described hereinbelow in more detail.
Solvent-free base of the present invention
In one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention relates to a solvent-free base, which comprises a substrate layer and a polyurethane layer, preferably consists of a substrate layer and a polyurethane layer.
In the context of the present invention, “BASE” refers to an intermediate product used in the production of synthetic leather, which is formed by coating a polyurethane (Pll) layer atop a substrate layer. When using base to produce synthetic leather, an adhesive is optionally applied to the base, followed by a topcoat and curing to obtain the finished synthetic leather.
In the context of the present invention, “essentially free of organic solvents” means that the base does not contain organic solvents, for example, contains less than 500 ppm of organic solvents, more preferably less than 200 ppm, and most preferably less than 10 ppm.
In the context of the present invention, organic solvents include ethers or glycol ethers (such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, anisole, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran), ketones (such as acetone, butanone, cyclohexanone), esters (such as ethyl acetate), nitrogen compounds (such as dimethylformamide (DMF), pyridine, N- methylpyrrolidone, acetonitrile), sulfur compounds (such as carbon sulfide, dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane), nitro compounds (such as nitrobenzene), halogenated hydrocarbons (such as dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrachloromethane, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, chlorofluorocarbons), hydrocarbons (such as octane, methylcyclohexane, decalin, benzene, toluene, xylene).
In principle, the substrate layer can be any layer capable of forming an adhesion to the obtained polyurethane layer.
The thickness of the substrate layer is typically in the range of from 0.01 mm to 20 mm, preferably in the range of from 0.1 mm to 10 mm and especially in the range of from 1 mm to 5 mm.
Various kinds of substrate layers are useful for the process of the present invention, for example:
A fabric substrate layer: in this case the substrate layer can consist of one or more, identical or different, firmly interconnected plies, for example of narrowly or widely meshed wovens, knits, braids, networks (net cloths).
Batt substrate layer: sheetlike structures composed of randomly disposed fibers (examples being felts and fibrous webs), which may preferably be bound together by a binder. Batt substrate layers are usually cellulosic or textile batts consolidated with water-insoluble impregnants.
Fibrous substrate layer: articles of manufacture composed of loose, randomly disposed fibers which are consolidated by plastics being used as a binder. They are obtained for example by adhering together leather fibers (preferably obtainable from
leather waste, for example from vegetable-tanned leather) with from 8 to 40% by weight of a binder.
Foil substrate layer: articles of manufacture comprising (preferably homogeneous) foils composed of metal or plastic, for example rubber, PVC, polyamides, interpolymers and the like. A foil substrate layer preferably comprises no incorporated fiber.
Leather substrate layer: it can be natural leather or synthetic leather.
One embodiment utilizes a leather substrate layer as the substrate layer. When a leather substrate layer is used, the leather in question is preferably split leather.
When a fabric substrate layer is used, the following materials will be particularly suitable to produce the fabric substrate layer: cotton, linen, polyester, polyamide and/or polyurethane.
According to the present invention, the thickness of the polyurethane layer is typically in the range of from 0.01 mm to 20 mm, preferably in the range of from 0.1 mm to 10 mm and more preferably in the range of from 0.5 mm to 5 mm.
The application of components of the polyurethane system atop the substrate layer or release layer is carried out by knife coating. The production line of a solvent-free knife coating process according to the present invention can be obtained by appropriately improving a traditional oily dry process line only with a small amount of investment. In addition, compared to a spraying process, the knife coating process hardly wastes any raw materials during the coating process. However, the spray coating process generally wastes from 15 to 30% of chemicals or even more due to different spraying process conditions. Therefore, the knife coating process saves more raw materials. After knife coating, there is no need to press the obtained base to reduce its thickness. In this way, the thickness can be maintained, achieving the goal of using fewer materials and thus saving production costs.
The polyurethane layer can be foamed or non-foamed (i.e. , compact), preferably foamed. The polyurethane layer is completely cured.
The polyurethane layer is formed from a polyurethane system, which can be a one- component (1 K) polyurethane system or a two-component (2K) polyurethane system.
1K polyurethane system
In one embodiment of the present invention, the polyurethane system is a 1 K polyurethane system. The 1K polyurethane system may contain at least one isocyanate (NCO) terminated polyurethane prepolymer as a resin component, and be
cured by the reaction of NCO groups with crystal water from fillers or moisture from the surrounding environment.
NCO terminated polyurethane prepolymers are obtained by reacting polyols or polyol mixtures with a stoichiometric excess of di- or polyisocyanates. The polyols used in the preparation of the prepolymers can be any polyols commonly used in polyurethane synthesis, such as polyester polyols, polyether polyols, or a mixture thereof, preferably polyether polyols or a mixture thereof.
The polyether polyols are obtained by known processes, for example via anionic or cationic polymerization of alkylene oxides with addition of at least one starter molecule comprising from 2 to 8, preferably from 2 to 6, and particularly preferably from 2 to 4, reactive hydrogen atoms, in the presence of catalysts. Catalysts used can comprise alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or alkali metal alcoholates, such as sodium methoxide, sodium ethoxide, potassium ethoxide, or potassium isopropoxide, or, in the case of cationic polymerization, Lewis acids, such as antimony pentachloride, boron trifluoride etherate, or bleaching earth. Other catalysts that can be used are double-metal cyanide compounds, also known as DMC catalysts.
The alkylene oxides used preferably comprise one or more compounds having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkylene moiety, e.g. tetrahydrofuran, ethylene oxide, propylene 1 ,2-oxide, butylene 1 ,2-oxide or butylene 2,3-oxide, in each case alone or in the form of a mixture, and preferably propylene 1 ,2-oxide, ethylene oxide and/or tetrahydrofuran.

The polyether polyols used for synthesizing polyurethane prepolymers may have an average molecular weight of from 100 to 10,000 g/mol, preferably from 500 to 8000 g/mol, and more preferably from 1000 to 5000 g/mol; and a hydroxyl value of from 5 to 100 mg KOH/g, preferably from 10 to 80 mg KOH/g, more preferably from 20 to 70 mg KOH/g, and most preferably from 25 to 60 mg KOH/g.
The polyester polyols used are mostly produced via condensation of polyhydric alcohols having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, e.g. ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, butanediol, trimethylolpropane, glycerol, or pentaerythritol, with polybasic carboxylic acids having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, e.g. succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid,
suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, decanedicarboxylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, and the isomers of naphthalenedicarboxylic acids, or their anhydrides.
The polyester polyols used for synthesizing polyurethane prepolymers can have an average molecular weight of from 100 to 20,000 g/mol, particularly from 330 to 4,500 g/mol, and a hydroxyl value of from 5 to 100 mg KOH/g, preferably from 10 to 80 mg KOH/g, more preferably from 20 to 70 mg KOH/g, and most preferably from 25 to 60 mg KOH/g.
In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the polyol used for synthesizing NCO terminated polyurethane prepolymer is a mixture of polyether polyols, comprising:
(i) polypropylene glycol, which has an average molecular weight of from 100 to 10,000 g/mol, preferably from 1000 to 6000 g/mol, more preferably from 1000 to 4000 g/mol, and most preferably from 1500 to 2500 g/mol; and a hydroxyl value of from 5 to 100 mg KOH/g, preferably from 10 to 80 mg KOH/g, more preferably from 40 to 70 mg KOH/g, and most preferably from 50 to 60 mg KOH/g; and

Surprisingly, it has been found that this polyol mixture ensures reaction activity with isocyanates, good implementability of the process, as well as the good feel and physical properties, such as peeling, tearing, winding properties, of the final leather.
The raw materials used for synthesizing NCO terminated polyurethane prepolymers may include conventional chain extenders. Useful chain extenders are known in the art.

The di- and/or polyisocyanates may also be modified, for example through incorporation of uretdione, carbamate, isocyanurate, carbodiimide or allophanate groups. It is further possible to use blends of the various di- and/or polyisocyanates. Carbodiimide-modified di- and/or polyisocyanates are preferably used.
The polyol/di- and/or polyisocyanate ratio is generally selected such that the NCO content of the prepolymer is in the range of from 5% to 30% by weight, preferably in the range of from 7% to 20% by weight and more preferably in the range of from 7% to 15% by weight.
The preparation of NCO terminated polyurethane prepolymer can in principle be carried out in various ways known to those skilled in the art. In one advantageous embodiment, it is prepared by reacting a polyol or a polyol mixture with an excess of at least one di- or polyisocyanate, optionally followed by partial distillation to remove the unreacted di- or polyisocyanate compound. This reaction may be carried out in the presence of a catalyst (“prepolymerization catalyst”) that catalyzes the prepolymerization (“prepolymerization catalyst”), but preferably the reaction is not carried out in the presence of a prepolymerization catalyst. Suitable prepolymerization catalysts are known to those skilled in the art.
The polyurethane prepolymer has an average molecular weight of from 300 to 20,000 g/mol, preferably less than 12,000 g/mol, in particular less than 8,000 g/mol.
The NCO terminated polyurethane prepolymer can have a viscosity in the range of from 1000 mPas to 30000 mPas, particularly from 1000 mPas to 10000 mPas, measured at 25°C according to DIN 53019 (2008). This is particularly advantageous, since such polyurethane prepolymers can still to be further processed well.
The 1K polyurethane system is moisture curable. Moisture curing can be carried out using moisture from the surrounding environment or crystal water from filler. Specific procedures can be found in the description below.
The 1 K polyurethane system may include at least one catalyst suitable for catalyzing the reaction of the polyurethane prepolymer with moisture from the surrounding environment, such as moisture in the air.

The 1 K polyurethane system may include a blowing agent.
All blowing agents known in the production of polyurethanes may in principle be used. These may comprise chemical and/or physical blowing agents. Such blowing agents are described in, for example, “Kunststoffhandbuch [Plastics Handbook], volume 7, Polyurethane [Polyurethanes]”, 3rd edition 1993, chapter 3.4.5. Chemical blowing agents are understood here as meaning compounds that form gaseous products by reaction with isocyanate. Examples of such blowing agents include not only water but also carboxylic acids. Physical blowing agents are understood here as meaning compounds that are dissolved or emulsified in the starting materials for the polyurethane production and vaporize under the conditions of polyurethane formation. Examples of these are hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, and other compounds, for example perfluorinated alkanes such as perfluorohexane, chlorofluorohydrocarbons, and ethers, esters, ketones, acetals and/or liquid carbon dioxide.

In addition, the flame retardants used may also comprise inorganic flame retardants, for example antimony trioxide, arsenic oxide, ammonium polyphosphate, expandable graphite, and calcium sulfate, or melamine, in order to render the polyurethane foams flame-retardant.
It has generally been found to be advantageous to use 5 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 5 to 35 parts by weight of said flame retardant, based on 100 parts by weight of the 1 K polyurethane system.

The 2K polyurethane system may include a blowing agent.
All blowing agents known in the production of polyurethanes may in principle be used. These may comprise chemical and/or physical blowing agents. Such blowing agents are described in, for example, “Kunststoffhandbuch [Plastics Handbook], volume 7, Polyurethane [Polyurethanes]”, 3rd edition 1993, chapter 3.4.5. Chemical blowing agents are understood here as meaning compounds that form gaseous products by reaction with isocyanate. Examples of such blowing agents include not only water but also carboxylic acids. Physical blowing agents are understood here as
meaning compounds that are dissolved or emulsified in the starting materials for the polyurethane production and vaporize under the conditions of polyurethane formation.

The carbon sources are generally polyhydroxy compounds, such as starch, sucrose, dextrin, pentaerythritol, ethylene glycol, phenolic resin, and the like. The gas sources are generally nitrogen-containing compounds, such as urea, melamine, polyamide, and the like.
Moreover, the flame retardants may include other flame retardants aside from intumescent flame retardants. Examples of other flame retardants include compounds containing phosphorus and/or halogen atoms, for example tricresyl phosphate, tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate, tris(chloropropyl) phosphate (TCPP), 2,2- bis(chloromethyl)trimethylene bis(bis(2-chloroethyl) phosphate), oligomeric organophosphorus compounds (for example Fyrol® PNX, Fyrolflex® RDP), and tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate. In addition, the flame retardants used may also comprise inorganic flame retardants, for example antimony trioxide, arsenic oxide, ammonium polyphosphate, expandable graphite, and calcium sulfate, or melamine, in order to render the polyurethane foams flame-retardant.
It has generally been found to be advantageous to use 5 to 50 parts by weight, preferably 5 to 35 parts by weight of said flame retardant, based on 100 parts by weight of the 2K polyurethane system.

In one preferred embodiment, the 2K polyurethane system is essentially free of solvents.
In another aspect, the present invention also provides a solvent-free base, which is produced by a process comprising the steps of: la) providing a substrate layer,
2a) applying components of the polyurethane system atop the substrate layer, 3a) curing the components of the polyurethane system to form a polyurethane layer; or the base is produced by a process comprising the steps of: lb) providing a release layer,
2b) applying components of the polyurethane system atop the release layer,
3b) pre-curing the components of the polyurethane system,
4b) applying a substrate layer atop the pre-cured components of the polyurethane system,
5b) post-curing the components of the polyurethane system to form a polyurethane layer,
6b) separating the release layer from the polyurethane layer.
The specific process steps will be described hereinbelow in detail.
Process for producing solvent-free base of the present invention
In another aspect, the present invention also provides a process for producing solvent-free base, which comprises the steps of (hereinafter also referred to as process 1): la) providing a substrate layer,
2a) applying components of the polyurethane system atop the substrate layer,
3a) curing the components of the polyurethane system to form a polyurethane layer; or the process comprising the steps of (sometimes hereinafter also referred to as process 2): lb) providing a release layer,
2b) applying components of the polyurethane system atop the release layer,
3b) pre-curing the components of the polyurethane system,
4b) applying a substrate layer atop the pre-cured components of the polyurethane system,
5b) post-curing the components of the polyurethane system to form a polyurethane layer,
6b) separating the release layer from the polyurethane layer.
In the context of the present invention, examples of useful release layers are layers, for example in the form of foils, composed of metal, plastic, leather and/or textile materials. Useful release layers are commercially available, for example, Favini B100 purchased from Favini.
In the process of the present invention, the application of components of the polyurethane system atop the substrate layer or release layer is carried out by knife coating, spraying, and brushing, preferably by knife coating or spraying. After application, there is no need to press the obtained base to reduce its thickness. The production line of a solvent-free knife coating process according to the present invention can be obtained by appropriately improving a traditional oily dry process
line only with a small amount of investment. In addition, compared to a spraying process, the knife coating process hardly wastes any raw materials during the coating process. However, the spray coating process generally wastes from 15 to 30% of chemicals or even more due to different spraying process conditions. Therefore, the knife coating process saves more raw materials. After knife coating, there is no need to press the obtained base to reduce its thickness. In this way, the thickness can be maintained, achieving the goal of using fewer materials and thus saving production costs.
In steps 3a) and 5b) of the process of the present invention, the components of the polyurethane system are cured to form a polyurethane layer. This curing can be accelerated by increasing the temperature (such as in an oven, preferably in a drying tunnel).
In process 1 ,
(1) For the 1 K polyurethane system, curing can be carried out at a temperature of from 40 to 100°C, preferably from 45 to 90°C, and at a humidity of from 45 to 95%, preferably 50-90%; the curing time can be from 1.5 to 40 minutes, preferably 5 to 30 minutes;
(2) For the 2K polyurethane system, curing can be carried out at a temperature of from 80 to 180°C, preferably from 90 to 140°C; the curing time can be from 1 to 30 minutes, preferably from 5 to 15 minutes.
In process 2,
(1) For the 1 K polyurethane system, the pre-curing can be carried out at a temperature of from 40 to 100°C, preferably from 45 to 80°C, and at a humidity of from 40 to 95%, preferably from 50 to 90%; the pre-curing time is in the range of from 1 to 25 minutes, preferably from 1.5 to 10 minutes. The post-curing can be carried out at a temperature of from 35 to 100°C, preferably from 45 to 80°C, and at a humidity of from 45 to 95%, preferably from 50 to 90%; the post-curing time can be from 1 to 40 minutes, preferably from 5 to 30 minutes.
(2) For the 2K polyurethane system, the pre-curing can be carried out at a temperature of from 40 to 150°C, preferably from 60 to 120°C; the pre-curing time is in the range of from 0.5 to 30 minutes, preferably from 1 to 10 minutes. The postcuring can be carried out at a temperature of from 60 to 180°C, preferably from 90 to 140°C; the post-curing time can be from 2 to 30 minutes, preferably from 5 to 15 minutes.
In step 6b) of process 2 of the present invention, the release layer is separated from the polyurethane layer. This separation can be performed by the methods commonly
known in the art. For example, the release layer is peeled off from the polyurethane layer.
The process 1 of the present invention can also include step 1a’) before step 1a) providing a substrate layer, that is, providing a release layer.
In process 2 of the present invention, pre-curing and post-curing steps are used, which has the following advantages: pre-curing and post-curing can be directly used on traditional oily dry production lines, and the pre-curing and post-curing processes of the basecoat are not affected by the topcoat. When using water-borne topcoat, the acidic groups of water-borne polyurethanes and insufficient drying of water both can affect the pre-curing and post-curing of 2K Pll. Therefore, this makes the knife coating process easier to implement.
The process of the present invention can be operated in a continuous manner or in batches. It is preferred to operate in a continuous manner.
In the context of the present invention, “continuous” is to be understood as meaning that the release layer and/or the substrate layer are present in the form of a strip which is continuously advanced and treated according to the process of the present invention. The strip is generally from 10 to 500 meters and preferably from 20 to 200 meters in length.
In one continuous process of the present invention, the release layer forms a quasi release strip. The release layer is preferably unwound off a reel at the start of the process, the release layer removed from the polyurethane layer in the process of the present invention may preferably be wound up again on a reel. This wound-up release layer may be reused in the process of the present invention; that is, it is reusable. The wound-up release layer is preferably reused from 2 to 5 times.
In one continuous process of the present invention, the substrate layer forms a quasi substrate strip. The substrate layer is preferably unwound off a reel at the start of the process.
This continuous process of the present invention provides a polyurethane layer — bonded to the substrate layer — as a product which is likewise in the form of a strip. The product obtained is preferably wound up on a reel.

Performance evaluation
The ingredients are mixed in sequence according to the knife coating formulation of water-borne topcoat formulation in Table 4 or the knife coating formulation of oily topcoat formulation in Table 5, then knife coated on the release layer (release paper Favini B100) with a thickness of 100 pm, subsequently dried in the oven at 80°C for 2 minutes, dried in the oven at 120°C for 2 minutes. Next, the knife coating formulation of the bonding layer formulation in Table 6 is applied at 100 pm, then dried in the oven at 90°C for 6 minutes, attached to different bases, rolled with a pressure roller, dried again in the oven at 120°C for 10 minutes, and separated from the release layer to obtain the final synthetic leather product.
Table 7 The properties of synthetic leather based on solvent-free base
Compared with the prior art, the process of producing dry veneer using solvent-free base is similar to the process of producing dry veneer using traditional oily base. The existing production line can even switch directly from oily base process to solvent- free base process. From Table 7, it can also be seen that the releasing and flexing properties are similar, wherein the leather sample prepared with 2K Pll base has better properties. Since the base layer is essentially free of solvents, the final finished leather has lower solvent residue. The bonding layer can also be selected from two- component polyurethane glue, aqueous polyurethane dispersion, and the like, ultimately resulting in synthetic leather that is essentially free of organic solvents.
