ISLAND-IN-SEA FIBER, ARTIFICIAL LEATHER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is an artificial leather containing a non-woven fabric composed of ultra micro fibers and impregnated with an polymeric elastomer, wherein a residual shrinkage ratio of the artificial leather at 30% stretching is 10% or less in a machine direction and is 20% or less in a cross-machine direction. The artificial leather has optimal residual shrinkage ratios, and specifically a residual shrinkage ratio in a machine direction of 10% or less and a residual shrinkage ratio in a cross-machine direction of 20% or less, when the artificial leather is stretched by 30%. As a result, the artificial leather which has stretched during the process for shape-formation can easily contract and restore, and thus avoid creasing even when applied to the products having many curved parts.
