The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing artificial leather, the apparatus including an embossing molding device capable of efficiently forming an embossed pattern on the surface of artificial leather through vacuum adsorption molding and a method of manufacturing artificial leather using the apparatus.

An object of the present invention is to provide a composition capable of realizing an excellent matt tone of a leather surface in a case of being used as a synthetic leather or an artificial leather, a sheet-shaped molded body, an artificial leather, and a manufacturing method of a sheet-shaped molded body. The composition of the present invention is a composition used for a synthetic leather or an artificial leather, the composition containing a polypeptide, a fibrous substance other than the polypeptide, and, a plasticizer.

This application provides a fruit extract leather. The fruit extract leather includes a prepolymer material A, a prepolymer material B, and a base fabric. The prepolymer material A includes a fruit powder, and the fruit powder is obtained by grinding a remaining residue material obtained after fruit peels and/or fruit kernels are extracted. This application further provides a method for preparing the fruit extract leather. According to the fruit extract leather and the preparation method thereof provided in this application, polyester and other components in leather are substituted, fruit peels and/or fruit kernels are recycled, and waste and environmental pollution are reduced.

A binder composition for use in the manufacture of a nonwoven mat including a low-density fiber, and nonwoven mats made with the binder, are disclosed. The low-density fiber is able to reduce the acoustic openness of the nonwoven mats made therefrom while also capable of being delivered with existing binder technology and equipment.

The combined use of polyol esters and cationic polyelectrolytes as additives in cosurfactant-containing aqueous polymer dispersions for production of porous polymer coatings, preferably for production of porous polyurethane coatings, is described.

Described is a recycled leather product comprising, on a supporting layer, a thickness which has a mixture of ground leather fibres and powdered resins and/or heat-sensitive fibres. The invention also relates to a method for making the recycled leather product which comprises the following steps: – selecting and collecting waste from the processing of leather, substantially trimmings and swarf of finished leather coming from the steps for cutting leather goods and footwear, in such a way as to obtain a collected material; – crushing the material collected into pieces of controlled size, preferably with dimensions substantially equal to 10 mm, and mixing/homogenizing the pieces of controlled size, in such a way as to obtain granulated material; – grinding the granulated material for reducing it into leather fibrils, preferably having a size of between 0.5 and 1 mm, inclusive; – mixing the fibrils with powdered resins and/or heat-sensitive fibres and placing them in an orderly fashion on a supporting layer which has at least one adhesive surface portion, in such a way as to make a formed material; – consolidating the formed material by heat setting and compression; – cutting and rolling the consolidated material which is heat-set and compressed; – finishing the rolled material thus obtained to obtain a finished leather product.

A faux leather biomaterial is disclosed. It may be made from shell seafood waste and coffee grounds with the aim to work as a sustainable alternative instead of prior art faux and animal leathers.

The present invention relates to an aqueous paste composition for textile coating, comprising: 1-60 parts by weight of at least one material having tensile modulus of at least 2000 MPa, 1-24 parts by weight of at least one antistatic agent, 16-60 parts by weight of at least one binder, and 50-200 parts by weight of water. The invention also relates to a process for producing a coated fabric, to a coated fabric as obtainable trough said process, and to a garment comprising it.

The present invention is directed to a system and method for creating different bio-based, natural composite textile materials. In the system and method described herein, a non-woven fabric is used as a backing material upon which the bio-based, natural composite materials are applied in one or more coating layers, resulting in a bio-based and substantially biodegradable textile material that provides high performance in consumer industries, such as the footwear industry.

The description relates to solvent free films and textiles that receive the solvent free films.
