The present invention relates to substrates comprising a coating on the surface thereof containing colorant complexes made from specific anionic dyes complexed with cationic compounds, such as substrates having a coating thereon intended to mimic the look and feel of leather. The inventive colored coatings have superior compatibility, transparency, solvent fastness, non-migration and water fastness properties.

An artificial turf includes translucent thatch yarn fibers and opaque face yarn fibers that are integrated in a carrier.

A base body for an artificial leather includes an intertwined fiber body mainly including an ultrafine fiber having a 0.01 to 10 m fiber diameter and an elastic polymer, the ultrafine fiber including, as a constituent polymer, a polyester obtained from a dicarboxylic acid and/or an ester-forming derivative thereof, and a diol, the polyester containing 15 to 500 ppm of a 1,2-propanediol-derived component.

An item such as a fabric-based item may have a layer of fabric with openings that are illuminated by a light source. The openings may form symbols or other shapes and may serve as labels for keyboard keys or other components. The fabric may be formed from transparent strands of material that are coated with opaque material or may be formed from opaque strands of material in which openings are formed by laser drilling. The openings may be covered with a transparent coating layer such as a translucent polymer coating. Translucent material on the fabric may be patterned to form parts of the labels or other shapes created by the illuminated openings.

The present invention relates to a multi-layered sheet suitable as floor or wall covering exhibiting a three-dimensional surface relief and a decorative image, comprising: i. a support layer having an upper surface and a lower surface; ii. a foamed layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface of the foamed layer provided adjacent, and adherent to the upper surface of the support layer, the upper surface of the foamed layer comprising a discontinuous chemically embossed relief pattern, wherein the discontinuous chemically embossed relief pattern comprises indentations formed by single or stacked dots of a digitally printed material comprising a foam inhibiting agent; and optionally iii. a decorative layer adhered to the upper surface of the foamed layer; and optionally iv. at least one wear resistant layer provided adjacent and adhered to the decorative layer; and optionally v. a backing layer provided adjacent and adhered to the lower surface of the support layer.

A light transmissive carpet includes a pile including strands of a light transmissive yarn. The light transmissive yarn includes a fiber blend of interspersed colored fibers and unpigmented fibers. The unpigmented fibers in the light transmissive yarn are translucent and transmit light therethrough.

A light-transparent fabric, as may be affixed to an artificial leather or incorporated in an automotive interior, consists of two fabric layers which are parallel to each other and spaced apart and a support layer which connects the two fabric layers together. The support layer is formed of connecting yarns, and the fabric layers are woven from fabric yarns. The meshes formed in the first fabric layer are the first meshes while the meshes formed in the second fabric layer are the second meshes, and 80%-100% of the first meshes align with the second meshes one by one. At least 80% of the support threads in the connecting yarns are arranged in the shape of an I. The ratio of the diameter of the connecting yarns to the diameter of the fabric yarns is 1.1:1.5. The light-transparent fabric has both high transmittance and high mechanical performance.

The present disclosure relates to an step artificial leather having visual penetration and a manufacturing method thereof. The artificial leather includes a thermoplastic substrate, a thermoplastic adhering layer, and a thermoplastic surface layer. The thermoplastic substrate has fiber net shape, and has visual penetration. The thermoplastic adhering layer is disposed on the thermoplastic substrate. The thermoplastic surface layer is disposed on the thermoplastic adhering layer. The thermoplastic surface layer and the thermoplastic adhering layer are transparent. Therefore, the artificial leather of the present disclosure has visual penetration effect. The product made from the artificial leather of the present disclosure has attractive appearance and diversity.
