POLYURETHANE AND POLYOLEFIN BASED SYNTHETIC LEATHERS HAVING IMPROVED EMBOSSING CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

Disclosed herein are externally stabilized, poromeric, synthetic leathers having improved embossing characteristics that are made from a fabric that is optionally impregnated with a polymer resin, wherein the fabric is coated with a polymerized layer that was made from a frothed mixture comprising polyurethane dispersed in water (PUD), at least one surfactant, a thickener, and at least one polyolefin dispersed in water (POD). Methods of making said synthetic leathers are also disclosed.
