Process for preparation of colored suede sheet materials
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process of preparing suede sheet materials having desirable tactile characteristics and good coloring comprising the steps of:
- a. coloring fibers throughout with dope dyes;
b. forming said colored fibers into a fibrous mat;
c. impregnating said mat with a binder composed mainly of an elastomer;
d. treating said impregnated mat to form a napped surface thereon, the size of the fibers in the resulting nap ranging from 0.1 to 0.0005 denier; and
e. dyeing the napped sheet material.

Abstract
In a process for preparing suede sheet materials having desirable tactile characteristics and good coloring, fibers are colored with a dope dye before being formed into a fibrous mat. The mat is impregnated with a binder and subsequently treated to produce a sheet material having a napped surface. The sheet material is then dyed to obtain the product.

9. A process for preparing suede sheet materials having desirable tactile characteristics and good coloring which comprises the steps of:
-
a. forming a fibrous mat from mixed fibers in which a polymer (component A) containing 0.5 to 15% by weight, based on the polymer, of a dope dyes is dispersed in the form of a plurality of fine denier fibers in a polymer (component B) having a solvent solubility different from that of the polymer component A; b. impregnating the fibrous mat with a binder composed mainly of an elastomer; c. coagulating the impregnated fibrous mat; d. treating the fibrous mat with a solvent capable of dissolving the component B selectively to remove component B from the mixed fibers, to produce a binder-impregnated sheet material; e. forming a nap of fibers on the surface of said sheet material, and f. dyeing the napped sheet material. - View Dependent Claims (10)
