Background
The traditional leather is animal skin which is obtained by carrying out physical and chemical processing such as unhairing, tanning and the like on animal skin hair, is denatured and is not easy to rot. The leather is formed by tightly weaving natural protein fibers in a three-dimensional space, has a special grain surface layer on the surface, has natural grains and luster, is comfortable in hand feeling, and is widely applied to the fields of sofas, cases, automotive interiors, balls and the like. In order to meet the requirements of people on different leather products and simultaneously avoid the situation that lawless persons kill some animals in a large quantity, more and more artificial leathers or simulated leathers are produced.
The artificial leather is mostly manufactured on a textile fabric substrate or a non-woven fabric substrate by foaming or film-coating processing of different formulas such as PVC or PU and the like. In order to make the artificial leather achieve the high strength and wear resistance of animal leather, a chemical binder combined by reinforced fibers needs to be added to modify a textile fabric substrate or a non-woven fabric substrate; and dyeing the base material by cylinder dyeing or slot dyeing, and finally performing after-treatment on the base material to form the artificial leather with the strength, the color and the hand feeling similar to the real leather.
The traditional artificial leather adopts a woven fabric substrate or a non-woven fabric substrate as raw materials, both of which are generally chemical fiber fabrics, and has low environmental protection property in production and processing; the used chemical binder for enhancing the bonding strength of the fibers can further increase the content of organic chemical components in the artificial leather and reduce the environmental protection of the product; when the base material is dip-dyed, the base material is dyed by a vat or a groove matched with the base material of the textile fabric or the base material of the non-woven fabric, the dyeing time is long, the general integral dyeing process at least needs about 5 hours, each ton of products generally needs to consume not less than 8 tons of water, the time consumption is long, the water consumption is large, and the production and processing cost is high.
