The present invention relates to an artificial leather and a method for producing the same. The artificial leather includes a substrate, a thermoplastic ethylene-propylene polymer elastic layer, and a surface layer. The substrate is formed from fibers having a first thermoplastic ethylene-propylene polymer. The surface layer is formed from a second thermoplastic ethylene-propylene polymer. The first thermoplastic ethylene-propylene polymer and the second thermoplastic ethylene-propylene polymer provide the substrate with a specific melting point and the surface layer with a specific melting point, respectively. By the substrate with the specific melting point and the surface layer with the specific melting point, the artificial leather has an excellent post-processability. Therefore, the artificial leather can have the substrate and the surface layer which have the same material, thereby having an excellent recyclability.

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 provides a high-molecular-weight polyether polyol ensuring that when used as a polyurethane raw material, a polyurethane having excellent flexibility and elastic recovery can be obtained; and a method for producing, with high productivity, a polyether polyol having a higher number average molecular weight and a narrower molecular weight distribution than those of the raw material polyether polyol, and the polyether polyol of the present invention has a number average molecular weight of 3,500 to 5,500 and a molecular weight distribution of 1.7 to 3.0.

Described are shoes, particularly a sports shoe, having an upper and at least one of an outer sole and a midsole connected to the upper. As examples, the outer sole is knitted in a unitary fashion with the upper. As further examples, an insert is positioned within the one-piece knitwear, wherein the insert comprises a profile that increases traction of the outer sole.

A woven fabric comprises a plurality of first fibers extending along a first direction, the first fibers having a first modulus of elasticity; a plurality of second fibers extending along a second direction and being woven with the plurality of first fibers, the second fibers having a second modulus of elasticity that is lower than the first modulus of elasticity; and a coating disposed over the plurality of first fibers and the plurality of second fibers. In some embodiments, the coating is a synthetic leather.

A method comprises: coating a high-elasticity coating on a rubber foam or high-elasticity fabric of a wetsuit to form a substrate to be printed; providing a digital printing machine for uploading an image file of a pattern or logo to the digital printing machine; and providing a vacuum system having a sucking platform formed with a plurality of sucking holes through the sucking platform; and laying the substrate to be printed on the sucking platform, whereby upon operation of the vacuum system and actuation of the digital printing machine, the image of the pattern or logo will be digitally printed on the substrate as laid on the sucking platform for successfully digitally printing the patterns on the wetsuits.

A production method of an elastically stretchable artificial leather which includes a step of making microfiberizable fibers into a web; a step of entangling the obtained web to produce an entangled nonwoven fabric; a step of converting the microfiberizable fibers in the nonwoven fabric to microfine fibers, thereby producing a substrate for artificial leather; a step of producing an artificial leather by using the obtained substrate for artificial leather; and a step wherein the obtained artificial leather is brought into close contact with an elastomer sheet stretched in a machine direction by 5 to 40%; the artificial leather is allowed to shrink in the machine direction simultaneously with allowing the elastomer sheet to shrink in the machine direction by relaxing elongation of the elastomer sheet; the artificial leather is heat-treated in shrunk state; and then the artificial leather is peeled off from the elastomer sheet.

Disclosed herein is a method for producing an elastically stretchable artificial leather, which includes the steps of forming microfiberizable fibers into a web, entangling the obtained web to produce an entangled nonwoven fabric, converting the microfiberizable fibers in the nonwoven fabric to microfine fibers thereby producing a substrate for artificial leather, producing an artificial leather from the obtained substrate for artificial leather, bringing the obtained artificial leather into close contact with an elastomer sheet stretched in a machine direction by 5 to 40%, shrinking the artificial leather in the machine direction simultaneously with the elastomer sheet by relaxing elongation of the elastomer sheet to obtain an artificial leather in shrunk state, heat treating the artificial leather in shrunk state, and then peeling the heat treated artificial leather off from the elastomer sheet.

A cloth structure includes a bottom cloth layer, a biting layer combined with the bottom cloth layer, and a color layer combined with the biting layer. A tissue material polymer forms a substrate which is treated by a non-toxic fluorescent bleaching process to form the bottom cloth layer. A first fluorescent color paste has a first color pigment, and a second fluorescent color paste has a second color pigment. The first fluorescent color paste is coated on the bottom cloth layer to form the biting layer. The second fluorescent color paste is coated on the biting layer, to form the color layer. The surface of the bottom cloth layer is dried, and formaldehyde is removed from the surface of the bottom cloth layer, to form the cloth structure.
