A machine for manufacturing artificial turf includes a fiber inserter configured to incorporate artificial turf fiber into an artificial turf backing to form the artificial turf. The artificial turf includes an underside and an artificial turf surface. The machine further includes a coater configured to coat the underside with a colloidal latex coating. The colloidal latex coating has an exposed surface. The machine further includes an applicator configured to welt an exposed surface of the colloidal latex coating with an anti-blistering agent. The machine further includes a heater configured to heat the underside to cure the colloidal latex coating into a solid latex coating.

A method of manufacturing a tufted surface covering includes incorporating tuft fiber into a backing to form the tufted surface covering, wherein the tufted surface covering includes an underside and a pile surface; coating the underside with a colloidal latex coating, wherein the colloidal latex coating has an exposed surface; wetting the exposed surface with an anti-blistering agent; and heating at least the underside to cure the colloidal latex coating into a solid latex coating.

Provided are a napped artificial leather which can restrain spontaneous elongation during the production process, enables the constant load elongation transverse/machine ratio to be set to an appropriate value even without a scrim or a liner, and is excellent in pilling resistance and appearance, and a method of producing the napped artificial leather. The napped artificial leather includes a nonwoven fabric which is an entangled body of microfine fibers, and a high-molecular elastic body attached to the nonwoven fabric, has a napped surface formed by napping the microfine fiber on at least one surface, and satisfies the following conditions (1) and (2):(1) the nonwoven fabric is composed of microfine polyester filaments and (2) the fiber density D1 in the transverse direction is from 150 to 450 fibers/mm.sup.2, the fiber density D2 in the machine direction is from 150 to 450 fibers/mm.sup.2, and D1/D2 is from 0.7 to 1.1.

A seat support element having an outer layer that includes an outer surface and an inner surface, a synthetic skin extending over the inner surface of the outer layer, and a first foam layer extending over the synthetic skin. A method of forming the seat support element includes the following steps: forming the outer layer by applying at least one layer of paint against a first forming surface of a forming tool, applying the synthetic skin against the inner surface of the outer layer, and applying the first foam layer against an inner surface of the synthetic skin.

A latex dipped article, particularly a fabric supported glove which is flexible and fatigue resistant, comprising a fabric liner, with a shape of a hand. The fabric liner is coated with a foam polymeric latex material which is then treated with an aqueous silicone or non-silicon based surface active agent to facilitate the formation of percolative surface structure through bursting of bubbles in the foam layer and stripped off the excess polymeric material. Then the stripped material is removed gently by exposing to a flowing fluid which further enhances the texture of the percolative coating that results an excellent grip in dry, wet and oil environments.

The present invention provides a preparation method of aromatic citrus peel artificial leather, the non-woven fabric adopts the wet impregnation process for impregnation treatment, the impregnated non-woven fabric is scraped and coated with the first fabric by the coating scraper, and then the aromatic citrus peel artificial leather finished product is obtained by coagulation, washing, pre-ironing, drying, cooling, scraping and coating of the second fabric; Liquid nitrogen is used to grind 80-400 mesh citrus peel powder in the fabric formula. The aromatic citrus peel artificial leather finished product has strong oxidation resistance, is not easy to turn yellow, has sterilization, deodorization and can exude a fresh aroma, and the artificial leather is environmentally friendly and easy to degrade.
