In a first embodiment, the invention provides a composite fabric which contains a first fabric layer and a thin film. The first fabric layer has an upper and lower side and contains a plurality of synthetic polymer fibers. The synthetic polymer fibers contain at least 15% of bio-based carbon content as measured by ASTM D26866-20 Method B. The thin film is located on the lower side of the first fabric layer and contains at least 15% of biobased carbon content as measured by ASTM D26866-20 Method B. The thin film has an average weight of less than about 30 GSM and has an air permeability of less than about 1 CFM as measured by ASTM D737 @ 125 Pa.

The present disclosure relates to a breathable layered flexible material comprising at least one polyvinyl chloride (PVC) porous layer or a plurality of PVC porous layers and a support layer. The the pores of the PVC porous layer or plurality of PVC porous layers are obtainable by water evaporation of a water-in-oil PVC emulsion. The pores extend from the PVC layer to the support layer providing the material breathability. The disclosure also relates to a method for preparing the breathable layered flexible material. Upholsteries, in particular car upholsteries, comprising the breathable layered flexible material are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a textile sheet product. According to the invention, said textile sheet product is characterized by a plurality of coating elements, which are arranged on a surface of a textile substrate layer of the sheet product in such a way that only part of the surface of the substrate layer is covered by the coating elements. The coating elements are made of a material that substantially is a mixture of a polymer material, preferably a prepolymer that can be crosslinked to form a thermoset, and a filler in the form of inorganic and/or metal particles. In a method according to the invention for producing a textile sheet product, a textile substrate layer and a coating material are provided. In order to form coating elements, a plurality of portions of the coating material are applied to a surface of the substrate layer. The portions of the coating material are arranged on the surface in such a way that the portions do not overlap, and only part of the surface of the substrate layer is covered by the coating material. Subsequently, the coating material is fixed, whereby a plurality of solid coating elements is formed on the substrate layer.

The present disclosure relates to a multilayer synthetic leather, at least comprising a textile arrangement; and a polyurethane based foam; wherein the polyurethane-based foam is partially fixed to the textile arrangement using a first fixing layer such that the first fixing layer has fixing areas formed by a fixing agent and free areas free from the fixing agent in the same plane.

The present invention relates to artificial leather having a water-based polyurethane foam layer including a fabric layer 110; a binder layer 111 laminated on the upper portion of the fabric layer 110; a water-based polyurethane foam layer 120 laminated on the upper portion of the fabric layer 110; a skin layer 130 laminated on the upper portion of the water-based polyurethane foam layer 120; and a surface treatment layer 140 laminated on the upper portion of the skin layer 130, wherein open cells are formed in the water-based polyurethane foam layer 120 through mechanical foaming. According to the present invention, a water-based polyurethane foam layer having open cells formed through mechanical foaming is applied to artificial leather for automobile seats.

Disclosed herein are improved methods for bonding textiles using an adhesive composition.

The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of polyurethane and a method for preparing the same, use thereof in a coating composition, and a coated product. The aqueous dispersion of polyurethane comprises a polyurethane polymer which is obtained by a reaction of a reaction mixture comprising a polyurethane prepolymer A) and an isocyanate-reactive component B), said polyurethane prepolymer A) being obtained by a reaction comprising the following components: A1) a polyisocyanate which has a functionality of not less than 2; and A2) a multifunctional polyether polyol which has a functionality of not less than 3 in an amount of 1% to 30% by weight, based on the amount of said reaction mixture as 100% by weight. The aqueous dispersion of polyurethane according to the present invention is well dispersed, and is capable of forming a coat with good waterproof, moisture permeability and washing resistance.

A garment comprises yarns that include an elastic component and includes an uncoated region and a discrete coated region. The discrete coated region includes a coating that includes an acrylic polymer or copolymer thereof. The coated region has an air permeability substantially similar to the air permeability of the uncoated region.

A leather-like fabric has a feel of natural nubuck leather and a napped feel and air permeability of suede leather, as well as high wear resistance. The leather-like fabric includes a fibrous structure including ultrafine fibers having an average monofilament fineness of 0.0001 dtex or more and 0.5 dtex or less, at least one surface of the fibrous structure being napped, the napped surface having resin layers located discontinuously, and each of the resin layers containing two or more layers.
