Laminated light-blocking decorative articles are prepared by applying an aqueous foamed opacifying composition to a non-woven fabric, drying, laminating a decorative fabric to the resulting dry foamed opacifying layer, and densifying that layer to have a thickness that is at least 20% less than before densifying. This operation can be carried out so that non-woven fabric, decorative fabric, and aqueous foamed opacifying composition are supplied in a single-pass, in-line operation to make any desired quantity of a laminated light-blocking decorative article. The applied aqueous foamed opacifying composition has 35%-70% solids and a foam density of 0.1-0.5 g/cm.sup.3. It is composed of (a) porous particles, (b) a binder material, (c) two or more additives comprising at least one foaming surfactant and at least one foam stabilizer, (d) an aqueous medium, and (e) at least 0.0001 weight % of an opacifying colorant that absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of 380-800 nm.

An interior material of a vehicle includes: a fabric layer made of a tricoat fabric, a foam layer disposed on a lower surface of the fabric layer, and an antifouling layer disposed at least between an upper surface of the fabric layer or the fabric layer and the foam layer. The tricoat fabric includes a combination of at least one of a polyurethane yarn, a high-elongation polyester yarn, or a polyester yarn.

The present invention relates to a method for producing an eco-friendly artificial leather by treating a polyurethane artificial leather with an aqueous stain resistant coating agent, and an aqueous stain resistant coated polyurethane artificial leather produced thereby. Without organic solvents in the stain resistant treatment process therefor, the artificial leather is eco-friendly and exhibits a uniform stain resistant effect thereacross uniformly due to the uniform and rapid drying of the stain resistant coating layer even in the absence of heating at a high temperature, and thus the coating layer is not thermally strained.

The present invention is a paint composition containing (A) a fluorine-containing copolymer, (B) a solvent and (C) a resin particle satisfying the following conditions 1 to 5:

condition 1: an average particle size of the resin particle is 0.1 to 50 m;
condition 2: a refractive index of the resin particle at 20 C. is 0.8 to 1.2 times that of a film composed of the fluorine-containing copolymer (A) at 20 C.;
condition 3: a 10% compression strength of the resin particle is 40 MPa or less;
condition 4: a compressibility of the resin particle is 20% or more; and
condition 5: the resin particle does not suffer from brittle fracture under a load force of 0.1 mN.

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.

An anti-fouling heterophasic thermoset polymeric coating is provided that includes a continuous phase and a discrete phase defining a plurality of domains distributed therein. Each domain has an average size of about 100 nm to about 5,000 nm. The continuous phase includes a fluorine-containing polymer component formed from a fluorine-containing polyol precursor having a functionality of greater than 2. The discrete phase includes a fluorine-free component. At least a portion of the fluorine-free component in the discrete phase is bonded together with a moiety selected from the group consisting of a nitrogen-containing moiety, an oxygen-containing moiety, an isocyanate-containing moiety, and a combination thereof. Methods of treating an article to form such anti-fouling heterophasic thermoset polymeric coating are provided, as are liquid precursors to form the coating.
