A compound material contains, by weight, x% leather fibres, y% fibrillar or/and powdery polymeric thermoplastic binder and z% reinforcing fibres, x, y and z being so selected that 30</=x</=80, 20</=y</=70 and 5</=z</=25, where x+y+z = 100. The fibres of the compound material are bonded to each other at their points of contact by means of the binder. This novel material is useful in the fancy-leather goods and boot and shoe industries. The binder has a softening point below 180 DEG C, and is a polymer or copolymer of an olefine or a vinyl or acrylic monomer, a polyamide, a polyester or a polycarbonate or mixture of these. |
