Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of footwear technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a durable shoe upper material. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most shoe materials on the market are developed and produced based on ordinary yarns. For workwear or sports shoes, due to the varied usage scenarios and high susceptibility to wear and tear, the surface materials often become damaged in a short period of time and cannot be repaired, requiring replacement with new shoes. On the other hand, the more durable materials currently on the market are produced through complex coating and other processes, which are costly, increase the weight of the material itself, and are not breathable, resulting in a very poor user experience.

The plain weave material obtained in step S2 is desizing to remove the slurry from the plain weave material. Step S4: Refining. The material processed in step S3 is refined to remove impurities and oil stains. Step S5: Pre-forming, the material obtained in step S4 is subjected to pre-forming treatment to eliminate internal stress; Step S6: Staining, the material obtained in step S5 is stained; Step S7: Shaping. The material obtained in step S6 is shaped to fix the finished size and obtain the shoe upper material.
[0005] In some of these embodiments, step S1 includes the following steps: S11: Polyester chip pretreatment, including pre-crystallization, drying and pulverization of polyester chips; S12: Melt filtration, which involves two-stage filtration of the melt to remove impurities; S13: Melt thickening, which increases the internal resistance of the molecular chain by introducing polar groups to thicken the melt; S14: Spinning and cooling: The high-temperature melt is extruded through the spinneret and then the extruded filament is cooled. S15: Stretching, stretching the cooled filaments to a stretch ratio of 5.6 to 5.8; S16: Heat setting, heat setting of the cooled filaments at a temperature of 130℃~140℃; S17: Winding and fiber splitting, winding and splitting the heat-set material.
[0006] In some of these embodiments, step S3 involves alkali desizing, in which 15–25 g / L of alkali is added to water at 35–45°C for desizing.
[0007] In some embodiments, in step S4, refining is carried out at 70°C to 90°C for 20 to 30 minutes, and the concentration of the refining agent is 1.5 to 2.5 g / L.
[0008] In some embodiments, step S5 involves immersion in room temperature water and pre-forming in an oven at 180–200°C at a speed of 15–25 m / min.
[0009] In some embodiments, step S6 involves dyeing the material using an L-shaped overflow cylinder, with the temperature inside the overflow cylinder being 130–140°C and the dyeing time being 25–35 minutes.
[0010] In some embodiments, step S7 involves immersion in room temperature water and pre-forming in an oven at 140–160°C at a speed of 15–25 m / min.

The shoe upper material made of specific polyester fiber materials has high strength, good wear resistance, and is also lighter, softer, and more comfortable; 2. Compared with the existing technology that uses coatings to enhance the wear resistance of shoe upper materials, the preparation process of this shoe upper material is green and pollution-free, and has good environmental friendliness.
