Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polyurethane synthetic leather, in particular to a embossed full water-based polyurethane synthetic leather for sports and casual shoes and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyurethane synthetic leather belongs to a kind of polyurethane elastomer, which has soft and natural gloss, soft hand feeling and strong leather appearance, excellent adhesion to base material, excellent mechanical properties such as wear resistance, flex resistance and aging resistance, good cold resistance, air permeability, washability, easy processing and low price, and is the most ideal substitute for natural leather.

[0003] The high molecular chain of water-based polyurethane can make the resin have multiple functions: water resistance, solvent resistance, wear resistance, scratch resistance, wrinkle resistance, moisture permeability, air permeability and hand feeling are closer to leather than synthetic leather made of solvent-based resin. The use of water-based polyurethane resin to produce synthetic leather not only meets international environmental protection standards in terms of chemical properties, but also greatly improves the performance of synthetic leather in terms of physical properties. However, at present, in the technical field of water-based polyurethane synthetic leather, there are certain limitations in processing and strength of full water-based polyurethane synthetic leather, especially embossed products. In production, the surface of water-based polyurethane synthetic leather is directly extruded by high-temperature embossing roller with a certain pressure, and finally the polyurethane high polymer is softened and shaped to form a concave-convex three-dimensional pattern. The temperature of the embossing roller is generally higher than the softening point temperature of the polyurethane high polymer. When the surface of the polyurethane synthetic leather contacts the embossing roller, the temperature rises sharply, and part of the polyurethane high polymer softens rapidly, which easily leads to the problems of stiff hand feeling, low thickness retention rate, unsatisfactory pattern, weak three-dimensional effect and low peel strength of the water-based polyurethane synthetic leather after embossing, thereby limiting its application in the field of sports and casual shoes. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a embossed full water-based polyurethane synthetic leather for sports and casual shoes and a preparation method thereof to solve the problems of stiff hand feeling, low thickness retention rate, unsatisfactory pattern, weak three-dimensional effect and low peel strength of the water-based polyurethane synthetic leather after embossing, thereby limiting its application in the field of sports and casual shoes.

[0005] The preparation method of the embossed full water-based polyurethane synthetic leather for sports and casual shoes provided by the present application comprises the following steps:

[0006] S1. After adjusting the PH value of the water-based polyurethane resin slurry to neutral, adding a pre-foaming aid, stirring uniformly and standing, a water-based polyurethane coating slurry is obtained;

[0007] S2. The waterborne polyurethane coating slurry is coated onto the surface of the nonwoven fabric after waterborne slurry pretreatment. It is first coagulated by weak acid gradient coagulation liquid A, and then coagulated by weak acid gradient coagulation liquid B to obtain waterborne polyurethane wet process base. The concentration of the weak acid gradient coagulation liquid A is less than the concentration of the weak acid gradient coagulation liquid B.

[0008] S3. The waterborne polyurethane wet-process base is preheated after being laminated with dry release paper and then subjected to embossing process to obtain embossed all-waterborne polyurethane synthetic leather for sports and leisure shoes.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above scheme, in step S1, the mass fractions of each component in the waterborne polyurethane coating slurry are as follows: 85-95 parts waterborne polyurethane resin, 5-15 parts deionized water, 1-2 parts thickener, 0.2-0.5 parts crosslinking agent, 1.5-2 parts pH adjuster, 0-10 parts waterborne pigment, and 0.2-0.6 parts pre-foaming aid.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above scheme, the pre-foaming agent is NaHCO3 powder.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above scheme, in step S1, the rotor speed of the stirring is 1000-1500 rpm, and the stirring time is 20-30 minutes.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above scheme, in step S1, the settling time is 20-30 minutes.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above scheme, in step S2, the concentration of the weak acid gradient coagulation liquid A is 0.2-0.6 wt%, and the time for the first coagulation is 3-5 minutes.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above scheme, in step S2, the concentration of the weak acid gradient coagulation liquid B is 1.2-1.6 wt%, and the second coagulation time is 3-5 minutes.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above scheme, in step S2, the pretreatment process of the nonwoven fabric after water-based slurry pretreatment is as follows: the nonwoven fabric base is impregnated and extruded with water-based slurry, then enters a 0.5-1.5% oxalic acid solution for pre-coagulation, and then is ironed flat by ironing rollers to obtain the nonwoven fabric after water-based slurry pretreatment.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above scheme, in step S2, the preheating is to first gradually heat the waterborne polyurethane wet-process base to 80℃-100℃, and then gradually heat the waterborne polyurethane wet-process base to 120℃-140℃.

[0017] The present invention provides an embossed, water-based polyurethane synthetic leather for sports and leisure shoes, which is prepared by the preparation method described above.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The method of this invention first adjusts the pH value of the waterborne polyurethane resin slurry to neutral before adding a pre-foaming agent. On the one hand, since waterborne polyurethane is generally in an ionic state, adjusting the pH to neutral enhances the stability of the waterborne polyurethane solution and prevents early demulsification and precipitation. On the other hand, adding the pre-foaming agent provides a stable neutral environment, preventing premature decomposition of the waterborne polyurethane and subsequent loss of foaming performance in the coagulation liquid. Furthermore, the pre-foaming agent uses NaHCO3 powder. When the waterborne polyurethane slurry is coated onto the fabric surface and passes through a weakly acidic coagulation liquid, the NaHCO3 powder slowly decomposes and releases CO2 gas as the waterborne polyurethane polymer is released. This CO2 gas fills the polyurethane film, forming a rich microporous structure within the film, achieving a soft feel and facilitating subsequent embossing of the product.

[0020] 2. This invention employs a two-step method to coagulate the waterborne polyurethane coating slurry, resulting in a waterborne polyurethane base with uniform and abundant pores, a soft feel, and high peel strength, fully meeting the requirements of the sports and leisure footwear industry. Furthermore, the first coagulation uses a low-concentration weak acid coagulating solution A (0.2-0.6 wt%), resulting in slow pre-coagulation. At this stage, the waterborne polyurethane remains in a flowing gel state, allowing sufficient time and space for the CO2 gas released by the pre-foaming agent to distribute evenly within the polyurethane film. This also reduces the risk of uneven internal stress caused by excessively rapid coagulation during the polyurethane coagulation process, lowering the risk of surface cracking. After the first coagulation, the waterborne polyurethane film is then passed through a higher-concentration weak acid coagulating solution B (1.2-1.6%). The waterborne polyurethane film, now in a flowing gel state with a rich pore structure, undergoes rapid coagulation and molding, resulting in a waterborne polyurethane base with a smooth surface and abundant microporous structure.

[0021] 3. The present invention pre-heats waterborne polyurethane synthetic leather, allowing the synthetic leather to be heated gently from the outside in, appropriately reducing the surface temperature of the embossing roller, avoiding the rapid melting of waterborne polyurethane polymers caused by rapid heating, and solving the problems of stiff feel and low thickness retention caused by rapid temperature changes on the leather surface.

[0022] 4. The embossed, water-based polyurethane synthetic leather for sports and leisure shoes produced by this invention has a softness of 2.5-3.0mm, a peel strength ≥90N / 3CM, abrasion resistance (H-22*1KG) ≥500 times, and room temperature flexing ≥100,000 times. It is free of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFCs, PFOS, PFOA) and DMF, and has excellent water-based environmental performance. The polyurethane synthetic leather produced by the method of this invention meets the physical property standards for synthetic leather for sports and leisure shoes. It has the characteristics of good three-dimensional fullness of pattern, soft hand feel and high physical strength. Moreover, the entire production process and product are ecological and environmentally friendly, which is in line with the industrial development direction and market orientation.
