Description

Leather material, preparation method and application thereof

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410741150.1, filed on June 7, 2024, and entitled "Leather material, preparation method and application thereof", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to a leather material, a preparation method and an application thereof, and belongs to the field of leather materials. BACKGROUND

[0003] Synthetic leather is a substitute for natural leather, which is mainly composed of synthetic resin (coating) and substrate (base cloth) by coating, bonding and other methods. Common synthetic leather includes PVC artificial leather, PU synthetic leather, microfiber leather, and silicone synthetic leather. However, the existing synthetic leather materials generally have poor stain resistance and weather resistance, especially the light-colored leather has poor anti-stain performance, which limits its application.

[0004] For example, the leather used for soft packaging of automotive interiors is mostly PVC leather, PU leather or microfiber leather. Since the film-forming material of the leather itself has activity and the film-forming material has a porous structure microscopically, the surface has wettability and adhesion, and the dirt components can accumulate on the texture surface or penetrate and combine, especially the light-colored leather is obviously dirty.

[0005] In addition, silicone synthetic leather (silicone leather) is a new type of synthetic leather that has appeared in recent years. Its stain resistance, hydrolysis resistance and aging resistance are better than those of traditional synthetic leather materials such as PVC artificial leather, PU synthetic leather and microfiber leather. However, silicone synthetic leather still has problems such as poor wear resistance, easy dust absorption and poor adhesion. Specifically, silicone synthetic leather is mainly composed of a substrate (woven cloth, knitted cloth, non-woven cloth, etc.), a bottom layer (silicone resin) and a surface layer (silicone resin). Due to the low cross-linking degree between silicone resin chains and other factors, the wear resistance of silicone synthetic leather is poor, and it is easy to be worn and scratched. At the same time, the surface of silicone synthetic leather has high inertness, which leads to poor secondary processability, making it difficult to process the surface by silk printing and bonding, thereby limiting the application of silicone synthetic leather.

[0006] In the face of increasingly complex application scenarios, conventional synthetic leather has been difficult to meet the increasingly diverse needs, especially in application scenarios with high requirements for the stain resistance and wear resistance of synthetic leather materials, such as electronic consumer products, automobile seats, etc. Conventional leather materials (artificial leather and synthetic leather) are difficult to meet the needs, especially for light-colored leather, the limitations of its stain resistance performance easily affect the product experience. Therefore, developing new leather materials that take into account improving the stain resistance, easy cleanability and weather resistance of leather materials, is still a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0037] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below. The following specific embodiments are only used to describe the principles and characteristics of the present application, and the examples are only used to explain the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application provides a kind of leather material, as shown in Figure 2 to Figure 5, the leather material includes substrate, and surface layer 1 present in the surface of at least one side of substrate, surface layer 1 includes the crosslinked product of first polymer, and first polymer includes fluorine-containing polymer, and fluorine-containing polymer includes one or more of first fluorine-containing copolymer, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyperfluoroethylene-propylene (FEP), second fluorine-containing copolymer;First fluorine-containing copolymer is the copolymer of trifluorochloroethylene (CTFE) and vinyl ether (VE) copolymerization;Second fluorine-containing copolymer (fluoroolefin copolymer) is the copolymer of at least two monomers of tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), trifluorochloroethylene (CTFE), vinylidene fluoride (VDF) copolymerization.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned organic fluorine material (fluorine-containing polymer) has good film-forming property and adhesion, which can be used as a film-forming material (film-forming agent) and an adhesive material to form the surface layer 1, and at the same time, improve the adhesion (bonding strength) between the surface layer 1 and the film layer of the substrate, etc. At the same time, the above-mentioned organic fluorine material has good stain resistance, cleanability and weather resistance, etc. By using the above-mentioned organic fluorine material to form the surface layer 1 of the leather material, the excellent stain resistance, easy cleanability and long service life of the leather material (organic fluorine leather) can be realized, at the same time, the firm adhesion of the surface layer 1 formed by the organic fluorine material on the substrate is realized, so that the leather material has good structural stability, etc. The bonding strength between each film layer (such as between the surface layer 1 and the substrate) is high, which meets the peeling force requirement of synthetic leather (leather material).

[0040] According to the research and analysis of the inventors, the above-mentioned organic fluorine material (or fluorine resin) has the characteristics of high C-F bond energy, short bond length and strong inertness, and fluorine (F) is distributed in a helical symmetry around the C-C main chain, which protects the main chain from being destroyed. Therefore, the above-mentioned organic fluorine material and the film layer such as surface layer 1 formed by it have the advantages of high stability, good stain resistance, easy cleaning, etc. The excellent stain resistance of light-colored synthetic leather can be realized, at the same time, the organic fluorine material and the film layer such as surface layer 1 formed by it have good weather resistance and chemical resistance, which can meet the requirements of longer service life and high frequency of wiping of the leather material.

[0041] Specifically, Table 1 shows the bond energy of common main chain chemical bonds, from which it can be seen that the C-F bond of the organic fluorine material in the embodiment of the present application is short and has high bond energy (the bond energy of the C-F bond can be as high as about 500 Kj / mol (about 497 Kj / mol in Table 1), close to the energy of a 220 nm photon (the photo-degradation wavelength is about 220 nm), and the proportion of light with a wavelength of about 220 nm in sunlight is very low), so the above-mentioned organic fluorine material and the surface layer 1 formed therefrom have good weather resistance, so that the leather material has good weather resistance and can improve the service life of the leather material.

[0042] Meanwhile, according to the research and analysis of the inventor, in the above-mentioned organic fluorine material, the adjacent F in the molecular chain repels each other, and the F is distributed in a spiral line in the carbon chain, thereby protecting the stability of the C-C bond, so that the above-mentioned organic fluorine material and the surface layer 1 formed therefrom have high chemical resistance, further ensuring the weather resistance and service life of the leather material, etc.

[0043] For example, the second fluorine-containing copolymer formed by copolymerization of PTFE and other monomers, Fig. 1 exemplarily shows a schematic diagram of the arrangement of the fluorine element in PTFE around the C-C main chain in a helical symmetric distribution, it can be seen that the adjacent F in the molecular chain repels each other, and the F is distributed in a spiral line in the carbon chain, thereby protecting the stability of the C-C bond, so that the organic fluorine material and the surface layer 1 formed therefrom have high chemical resistance, further ensuring the weather resistance and service life of the leather material, etc.

[0045] According to the further research of the inventor, when the first polymer comprises a first fluorine-containing copolymer, the film hardness and other properties of the surface layer 1 can be further improved, thereby further optimizing the performance of the leather material.

[0046] Specifically, the first fluorine-containing copolymer (fluorocarbon resin (FEVE)) is a copolymer formed by CTFE monomers and VE monomers, which specifically can include an alternating copolymer formed by copolymerization of CTFE and VE.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, the first polymer is used as the main film-forming agent (organic fluorine film-forming agent) of the surface layer 1, and the crosslinked product of the first polymer is a crosslinked product formed by the first polymer in the presence of the first crosslinking agent, i.e., the crosslinked product is formed by crosslinking the first polymer under the action of the first crosslinking agent.

[0048] The first crosslinking agent can include a main crosslinking agent, and the main crosslinking agent includes one or more of oxygen, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), which facilitates the crosslinking of the first polymer to form the crosslinked product of the first polymer, and improves the weather resistance, stain resistance, and wear resistance of the leather material.

[0049] In addition, the first crosslinking agent can also include a crosslinking aid, and the crosslinking aid can include zinc oxide. When the first crosslinking agent includes the crosslinking aid, it facilitates the crosslinking reaction efficiency of the first polymer and improves the film-forming efficiency of the surface layer 1.

[0050] In addition, the first polymer described above can also include polyurethane, specifically water-based polyurethane. The polyurethane is used as a film-forming agent, and when the first polymer includes polyurethane, it facilitates the toughness and other properties of the surface layer 1.

[0051] In addition, in some embodiments, the first polymer described above can also include an acrylic resin and / or an epoxy resin, i.e., the first polymer can be doped with an acrylic resin and / or an epoxy resin, which can further improve the film-forming hardness and wear resistance and other properties of the surface layer 1, thereby further improving the hardness and wear resistance and other properties of the leather material.

[0052] In addition, in some embodiments, at least part of the first polymer described above contains an acrylic group and / or an epoxy group, and these groups can be grafted onto the side chain of the first polymer (i.e., at least part of the side chain of the first polymer is grafted with an acrylic group and / or an epoxy group). By grafting an acrylic and / or epoxy segment on the first polymer, it facilitates further improving the wear resistance and other properties of the formed surface layer 1.

[0053] In some specific embodiments, the second fluorine-containing copolymer described above can be grafted with an acrylic group or an epoxy group, which facilitates further improving the weather resistance, stain resistance, and wear resistance and other properties of the leather material.

[0054] Specifically, in the first polymer, the total mass content of the fluorine-containing polymer (such as the first fluorine-containing copolymer, PVDF, FEP, the second fluorine-containing copolymer, etc.) is greater than the total mass content of the non-fluorine-containing polymer (such as polyurethane, acrylic resin, epoxy resin, etc.), and the ratio of the total mass of the non-fluorine-containing polymer (the sum of the masses of all non-fluorine-containing polymers) to the total mass of the fluorine-containing polymer (the sum of the masses of all fluorine-containing polymers) can be less than 50%, for example, 0, 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, or a range consisting of any two of them.

[0055] In addition, the surface layer 1 can or can not contain a first auxiliary agent, which can include one or more of a first pigment, a first filler, the above cross-linking auxiliary agent, and a first leveling agent.

[0056] The first pigment is used to give the surface layer 1 a specific color effect, and can specifically include one or more of carbon black, titanium white, azo dyes, etc.

[0057] The first filler can include inorganic fillers, and can specifically include one or more of talc, barium sulfate, and silicon dioxide (SiO2).

[0058] Specifically, the first filler can include one or more of a first hardness improver, a first toughness improver, and a first wear-resistant auxiliary agent, the first hardness improver can improve the hardness of the surface layer 1, thereby improving the hardness and other properties of the leather material, and can include, for example, carbon black and / or barium sulfate; the first toughness improver is used to improve the toughness of the surface layer 1, thereby further improving the surface toughness and other properties of the leather material, and can include, for example, SiO2 and / or barium sulfate; and the first wear-resistant auxiliary agent is used to improve the wear resistance of the surface layer 1, thereby further improving the wear resistance of the leather material, and can include, for example, carbon black and / or titanium white.

[0059] When the surface layer 1 contains carbon black, the carbon black serves as a first pigment to give the surface layer 1 a certain color effect, and also serves as a first hardness improver and a first wear-resistant auxiliary agent to improve the hardness and wear resistance and other properties of the surface layer 1.

[0060] When the surface layer 1 contains titanium white, the titanium white serves as a first pigment to give the surface layer 1 a certain color effect, and also serves as a first wear-resistant auxiliary agent to improve the wear resistance and other properties of the surface layer 1.

[0061] When the surface layer 1 contains barium sulfate, the barium sulfate serves as a first hardness improver and a first toughness improver to improve the hardness and toughness and other properties of the surface layer 1.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the silicon dioxide can specifically include nano-silicon dioxide, i.e., its particle size is in the nanometer range.

[0063] In addition, the first leveling agent is used to improve the flowability of the first slurry used to form the surface layer 1, so that it is more level during the process of coating to form the surface layer 1, so that the formed surface layer 1 is more level, has better uniformity and other properties, and the first leveling agent can specifically include a polysiloxane leveling agent.

[0064] Specifically, the surface layer 1 can be processed and prepared by a solvent-containing coating method or a solvent-free coating method, and is preferably formed by a solvent-containing coating method, that is, the surface layer 1 can be formed by cross-linking and curing the first slurry containing the first polymer and the first solvent and the like, that is, the first slurry can be coated on at least one side surface of the substrate, and then after curing (or cross-linking and curing), the surface layer 1 is formed on at least one side surface of the substrate to obtain the leather material. The preparation process of the leather material is specifically described below, and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] In addition, the thickness of the surface layer 1 can be 0.03mm-0.06mm, for example, 0.03mm, 0.04mm, 0.05mm, 0.06mm or a range formed by any two of them.

[0066] In addition, the side surface of the surface layer 1 away from the substrate can have a texture, that is, the surface layer 1 is an organic fluorine textured layer, which can give the leather material a textured effect. The texture can be a conventional leather texture (skin texture structure) in the art, such as cowhide texture, crocodile texture, etc., so that the surface of the leather material has a skin texture and a skin touch.

[0067] Specifically, the texture of the side surface of the surface layer 1 away from the substrate layer can be realized by texture paper coating film forming, or embossing (mold pressing technology, heat molding, etc.) to form a texture on the surface of the surface layer 1. For example, the process of forming a texture by texture paper coating film forming includes: coating the first slurry used to form the surface layer 1 on the surface of the texture paper (release paper with a texture that matches the texture of the surface layer 1), and then curing the first slurry into the surface layer 1, which will form a texture that matches the texture of the texture paper.

[0068] In some embodiments, the surface layer 1 can be the surface layer of the leather material, that is, the side surface of the surface layer 1 away from the substrate has no other coating layer. By using the above-mentioned surface layer 1 as the surface layer of the leather material, the good stain resistance, easy cleaning and long service life of the leather material can be improved.

[0069] In some embodiments, the leather material can further include a surface layer 2 located at the surface of the surface layer 1 away from the substrate, by arranging the surface layer 2 on the surface of the surface layer 1, the surface properties of the leather material can be further adjusted while improving the stain resistance, cleanability and weather resistance of the leather material, for example, the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the leather material can be further improved, and the desired leather touch can also be achieved according to the requirements, realizing a more diverse touch effect of the leather material. In addition, the surface layer 1 formed by the above-mentioned organic fluorine material has a high bonding strength with the substrate, and has good adhesion with the surface layer 2, which can improve the structural stability and other properties of the leather material.

[0070] In comparison, if the thickness of the surface layer 2 is too small, the adjustment effect on the surface properties of the leather material is limited, and if the thickness of the surface layer 2 is too large, it will affect the texture effect of the surface layer 1 of the leather material, therefore, considering these factors comprehensively, the thickness of the surface layer 2 is preferably 0.01mm-0.04mm, for example, 0.01mm, 0.02mm, 0.03mm, 0.04mm or a range formed by any two of them.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 2-5, the substrate can include a base cloth layer 5, which can include woven cloth and / or non-woven cloth.

[0072] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, the substrate can further include an adhesive layer 4 located between the base cloth layer 5 and the surface layer 1, which can further improve the bonding strength between the surface layer 1 and the film layer such as the substrate.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3-5, the base cloth layer 5, the adhesive layer 4 and the surface layer 1 are sequentially stacked and directly contact, i.e. the base cloth layer 5 directly contacts the adhesive layer 4 without other film layers or structures between them, and the adhesive layer 4 directly contacts the surface layer 1 without other film layers or structures between them, at this time, the substrate is composed of the base cloth layer 5 and the adhesive layer 4, the adhesive layer 4 is arranged on the side surface of the base cloth layer 5 facing the surface layer 1, and the surface layer 1 is adhered to the base cloth layer 5 through the adhesive layer 4, which can improve the bonding strength between the surface layer 1 and the base cloth layer 5.
