The gorgeous transformation of artificial leather: the natural beauty given by die embossing technology
The secret of artificial leather foil base fabric materials: dual support of textile base and non-woven base
In the vast world of modern materials science, artificial leather, as a substitute that combines beauty and practicality, is gradually showing its unique charm in many fields such as fashion, home, and automotive interior. Behind all these achievements, it is inseparable from its cornerstone-the careful selection and design of base fabric materials. This article will deeply explore the two base fabric materials commonly used in artificial leather foil, textile base and non-woven base, and analyze how they serve as support layers to give artificial leather excellent physical properties and structural stability.
1. Textile base: a solid backing for fiber interweaving
As a traditional choice for artificial leather foil, textile base provides solid support for the product with its good weaving process and close interweaving between fibers. Common textile base materials include synthetic fibers such as polyester (polyester fiber), nylon (nylon) and polypropylene. These fibers not only have excellent wear resistance, wrinkle resistance and easy care properties, but also can maintain a stable shape in different environments, laying a solid foundation for the long-term use of artificial leather.
Polyester (polyester fiber): With its high strength, wrinkle resistance, ironing resistance, and washability and quick drying, it has become the leader in textile fabrics. The addition of polyester fiber makes artificial leather more durable and less prone to deformation while maintaining a soft touch.
Nylon (nylon): Known for its excellent wear resistance and elasticity, nylon textile fabrics bring higher wear resistance and better recovery to artificial leather, suitable for occasions that require frequent use and high-intensity friction.
Polypropylene: Known for its lighter texture and good weather resistance, it is suitable for outdoor or lightweight and durable artificial leather products.
2. Non-woven fabric base: A green choice for innovative technology
Compared with traditional textile fabrics, non-woven fabrics have gained more and more attention in the field of artificial leather in recent years due to their unique production process and environmental protection characteristics. Non-woven fabrics are materials that are directly reinforced and formed by directional or randomly arranged fibers using physical, chemical or mechanical methods. This process eliminates the warp and weft interweaving process of traditional textiles, which not only has high production efficiency, but also can achieve more diverse structural and functional designs.
Environmental advantages: The non-woven base reduces the use of water resources and chemical agents during the production process, which is more in line with the environmental protection concept of modern society. At the same time, some non-woven materials can be recycled and reused, further reducing the environmental impact.
Excellent performance: Although it looks "non-woven", the non-woven base is not inferior in physical properties and structural stability. The tight arrangement and reinforcement of its internal fibers give the non-woven base good tensile strength and dimensional stability, providing reliable support for artificial leather.
Flexible design: The production process of the non-woven base gives it a high degree of design freedom. By adjusting the fiber type, arrangement and reinforcement method, non-woven bases of different thicknesses, textures and functions can be customized to meet the needs of artificial leather in different application scenarios.
As the two cornerstones of artificial leather foil, textile bases and non-woven bases have injected strong impetus into the development of artificial leather with their unique advantages. Whether pursuing classic durability or innovative environmental protection, these two base fabric materials can provide perfect solutions. With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing diversification of consumer demand, we have reason to believe that artificial leather in the future will more perfectly combine beauty and practicality and become the preferred material in more fields.
