A method is provided for producing breathable leather material including the following steps: a leather-based material is provided; the leather-based material is perforated; a support body is provided; a finishing is applied to the support body such that a later visible side of the finishing is facing the support body and the finishing is transferred to the surface of the perforated leather-based material and removed from the support body.

A synthetic leather comprising a substrate, a skin layer that is disposed on one main surface of the substrate, and an anti-stain layer that is disposed to cover the skin layer. The anti-stain layer contains a base resin that comprises silicon and a unit derived from a compound that has a urethane bond. In the anti-stain layer, a fluorine atom/silicon atom atomic ratio, which is a proportion of a fluorine atom to the silicon atom, is 0.01 or less. A first color difference E1* between before and after a stain adhesion test performed on the synthetic leather rubbed under a specific condition is 5 or less.

The invention relates to a dark, flat element, preferably a plastic, lacquer coating or fiber material, having reduced density, low heat conductivity and low solar absorption. The flat element has a relatively high reflection infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum reduce heating by sunlight in the near infrared dark tinting in the visible range. Low density conductivity are obtained inter alia by inserting in the near in order to area despite and low heat light filling materials into the flat element. Said flat element can be used in places where surfaces are dark tinted for aesthetic or technical reasons but should not heat up in sunlight and should give off little heat when touched by hand or by other parts of the body. Other areas of application include surfaces which should have a heat insulating effect in addition to the above-mentioned characteristics.

A formulation comprising a multiplicity of solid polymer particles, wherein said polymer is selected from polyamide and polyester, wherein a polyalkylene glycol is covalently attached to said polymer at the surface of said polymer particles; and a method for treating a substrate comprising agitating the substrate with said formulation and a liquid medium, particularly wherein the method of treating is a laundry method.

The present invention relates to a process for leather edge painting. More particularly, the present invention relates to the process [200] wherein the liquid edge paint is converted to solid colour sticker film [205]. More particularly, the present invention relates to the process wherein the liquid edge paint is converted to solid colour sticker film on a transparent film [205], and transferring [207] from the transparent paper to the edges of a substrate material. Further, the process of the present invention provides liquid edge paint transferred to the substrate edge for one or more applications.

A method for decorating a natural leather comprising the following steps: a) holding by vacuum suction the natural leather with its corium side to an air-permeable support onto a vacuum support of an inkjet printer; and b) inkjet printing a decorative image on the natural leather wherein the air-permeable support is partly covered by said natural leather. The air-permeable support comprises a fibrous layer in contact with the corium side of the natural leather.
