Benefits of technology

The invention is a special synthetic leather material that is resistant to smoke and flame, making it ideal for use in products like aircraft and boat seats. It consists of a silicone top layer, a core layer and a barrier layer made of textile fabric. The material doesn't produce any smoke or ignition and has a soft touch and leather-like surface. It can replace traditional materials and is also suitable for use in other applications where safety is a concern.

Problems solved by technology

This product, however, does not have the leather-like appearance and ease of care such as that of the inventive product herein.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]The composite product is transfer or direct coated to a release paper to achieve the synthetic leather look and surface characteristics. The product is produced in multiple layers with a top surface having the leather-like appearance, and adhesive intermediate layers (from 2 to 8 layers) which consist of polysiloxary chemistry. These layers are transferred / direct coated to a textile. In the case of a transfer coated product, they are chemically coated. There is no lamination in the direct coating method of making the product. The top surface layer is from about 2 to 10 mils in thickness, while the core itself is from about 6 to about 30 mils in thickness. The barrier layer is typically about 200 mils in thickness, although layers of greater or lesser thicknesses may also be used effectively. Polysiloxane adhesives of varying viscosities, such as between about 6-10,000 cps are useful, although more typically from 40-80,000 cps. Viscosities of from about 120-200,000 cps can be u...

Abstract

A synthetic leather-like composite product comprising a polysiloxane top surface having the appearance and surface characteristics of leather, a polysiloxane solid or cellular core, and a textile fabric barrier layer.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a synthetic leather-like composite with low smoke and flame resistant properties. More particularly, the product is a synthetic leather-like solid homogeneous composite material with a polysiloxane top surface having a leather-like appearance, backed by a polysiloxane solid or cellular core and a knitted, woven or non-woven textile fabric of aramid fiber, including 3 mesh / 3D knit spacer fabric, knits of Nomex®, Kevlar® graphite or similar heat and flame barrier therebetween. The product is especially useful for aircraft and aerospace or helicopter seating, and for use as seating in sea vessels, automotive and train transportation, in which the suppression or elimination of smoke and no propagation of flame is of particular importance for safety purposes.[0002]The prior art reflects the various means and methods that have been developed over the years for producing protective fabrics in which a textile fabric (e.g., fire fighting ...
