Abstract
A leather-simulating fabric has an intermediate layer which is raised or piled differentially on opposite faces. Secured to the face of lesser depth is a layer of polyurethane or polyvinylchloride or other suitable polymeric film while a porous plastics layer is secured to the other face.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Fabrics
This invention relates to a fabric which simulates leather.
Such fabrics are employed, inter alia, in the manufacture of footwear, garments, sportswear, luggage and furniture.
It is an object of the present invention to provide such a fabric which is porous and moisture absorbing, and a method of producing same.
According to the present invention I provide a leather-simulating fabric comprising an intermediate later which is raised or piled differentially on opposite faces with, secured to the face of lesser depth, a layer of polyurethane or polyvinylchloride or other suitable polymeric film and to the other face a porous plastics layer.
Preferably, the intermediate layer is cotton or a cotton-based textile material. It may, however, by a synthetic substrate.
The porous plastics layer may, inter alia, be a nitrile or acrylic latex foam or polyurethane foam or polyvinylchloride foam.
The porous plastics layer is preferably treated with an anti-bacteria solution.
An example of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawing which is a cross-section through a fabric according to the invention.
The fabric comprises an intermediate layer 1 which is cotton which has been scoured, dyed and finished so as to render it moisture absorbent. The layer 1 is slightly raised or piled (for example sueded or brushed) at its face 2 and raised or piled to a greater depth at its face 3.
To face 2 is adhered a layer 4 of polyurethane or polyvinylchloride. This can be effected by coating a release paper with polyvinylchloride or polyurethane, drying same and then applying by blade to the exposed face of the polyvinylchloride or polyurethane a bonding coat or adhesive wet coat 5. The polyvinylchloride or polyurethane film 4 is adhered to face 2 by coat 5 on passage of the cotton layer 1 and film 4 through a laminator, the release paper being separated from the film 4 and dispensed with. Layer 1 and film 4 are at this stage pressed together and thereafter are fed to a curing oven where their inter-securement is completed.
In a modification, a polyurethane film from a stock roll is adhered directly to the layer 1 without the need to use a release paper.
Also instead of blade coating, calander coating, 3 roll coating or scan spray coating may be employed.
As a result of the above, face 2 of cotton layer 1 has a tough leather-like surface.
To face 3 of the cotton layer 1 is applied a nitrile latex foam layer 6 which has been treated to render same resistant to bacteria and whereof the air cells are burst open thereby rendering layer 6 porous by, for example, passage under a coating blade. Other convenient means for rendering this layer 6 porous may be employed.
As a result of the porosity of layer 6 moisture can be absorbed by the fabric. Layer 6 also provides face 3 of the cotton layer 1 with a leather-like feel.
Raised surface 3 of the cotton layer 1 provides thickness and softness characteristics for the fabric.
As a result of this invention there is provided a fabric which rapidly absorbs and releases moisture.
1. A leather-simulating fabric comprising an intermediate layer which is raised or piled differentially on opposite faces with, secured to the face of lesser depth, a layer of polyurethane or polyvinylchloride or other suitable polymeric film and to the other face a porous plastics layer.
2. A fabric as claimed in claim 1, in which the intermediate layer is cotton or a cottonbased textile material.
3. A fabric as claimed in claim 1, in which the intermediate layer is a synthetic substrate.
4. A fabric as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, in which the porous plastics layer is a nitrile or acrylic latex foam or polyurethane foam or polyvinylchloride foam.
5. A fabric as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4, in which the porous plastics layer is treated with an anti-bacteria solution.
6. A leather-simulating fabric, substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
7. A method of manufacturing a leathersimulating fabric comprising the steps of raising or piling opposed surfaces of an intermediate layer so that one surface is raised or piled to a greater depth than the other, bonding to the surface of lesser depth a layer of polymeric film, and bonding to the other surface as porous plastics layer.
