An interior trim part made by a method that includes the steps of bringing a fiber web onto a conveyor, needlepunching the fiber web to form a base in contact with the conveyor, and introducing a binder component on the base. The binder component introduced on the base is a thermoplastic polymer in solid form. The method includes a step for heating the base to cause the thermoplastic polymer making up the binder component to penetrate the base over a thickness smaller than the thickness of the base.

The present disclosure relates to an innovative leather and a manufacturing method thereof. The innovative leather includes a Polyester substrate, a Polyester adhering layer, and a Polyester surface layer. The Polyester adhering layer is disposed on the Polyester substrate. The Polyester surface layer is disposed on the Polyester adhering layer. All materials of the innovative leather of the present disclosure are the same Polyester materials, thus the innovative leather of the present disclosure can be recycled after the innovative leather of the present disclosure is used. The innovative leather of the present disclosure has recycling benefit.

A composite material contains a nonwoven layer (i) which contains fibers formed from a first thermoplastic elastomer having meshes with a mesh size in the range from 10 to 100 μm, and a membrane layer (ii) which contains a second thermoplastic elastomer and having a layer thickness of less than 30 μm. The membrane is either pore-free (ii.1) or is porous and has pores with an average pore diameter of less than 2000 nm (ii.2). The membrane (ii) is at least partially in direct contact with the fibers of the nonwoven layer (i) and covers the mesh openings in the nonwoven layer (i) at least partially. The fibers of the first nonwoven layer (i) and the membrane (ii) in the contact area are at least partly joined to one another in an interlocking manner.

A moisture-permeable waterproof fabric includes: a cloth (i), an adhesive layer (ii), and a surface skin layer (iii). The adhesive layer (ii) is formed from a moisture-curable polyurethane hot melt resin composition that contains a urethane prepolymer (C) having an isocyanate group, and the urethane prepolymer (C) is a reaction product of a polyisocyanate (B) and a polyol (A) containing a biomass-derived polyester polyol (a1). The surface skin layer (iii) is formed from a urethane resin composition that contains a urethane resin (R) containing a polyol (P) and a polyisocyanate (Q) as essential raw materials thereof, and the polyol (P) contains a polyol (P1) having an oxyethylene group and a specific polyester polyol (P2).

Provided is a synthetic leather. The synthetic leather comprises a base cloth, a polymer layer formed on the base cloth and a surface unit covering the polymer layer; the surface unit is a functional layer or a combination of the functional layer and a print layer. The polymer layer is made of a PVB-based composition and excludes a crosslinking agent with at least one isocyanate group. The functional layer is made of a material containing a primary agent; the primary agent is PU, epoxy resin, PMA or PVB; when the primary agent is the PVB, the material further comprises a crosslinking agent with at least one isocyanate group. The synthetic leather has good properties of weather resistance, abrasion resistance and flexing resistance, and the synthetic leather can have a variety of printing patterns on its surface.

This invention relates to tufted floorcovering articles, including carpet tiles and broadloom carpet. In particular, this invention relates to tufted floorcovering articles made from the family of polymers known as polyester. Specifically, this invention relates to tufted carpet tile products made from polyester. The polyester carpet tiles meet commercial performance specifications and are fully end-of-life recyclable.
