Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A base body for an artificial leather includes an intertwined fiber body mainly including an ultrafine fiber having a 0.01 to 10 μm fiber diameter and an elastic polymer, the ultrafine fiber including, as a constituent polymer, a polyester obtained from a dicarboxylic acid and/or an ester-forming derivative thereof, and a diol, the polyester containing 15 to 500 ppm of a 1,2-propanediol-derived component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A base body for a napped artificial leather consisting of a nonwoven fabric prepared by intertwining an ultrafine fiber layer consisting of an ultrafine fiber having a 0.01 to 5 μm fiber diameter and 5 to 100% by mass of an elastic polymer impregnated into the nonwoven fabric, the ultrafine fiber comprising polyester as a constituent component, the polyester comprising a dicarboxylic acid and/or an ester-forming derivative thereof, and a diol as copolymerization components, the polyester containing 15 to 500 ppm of a 1,2-propanediol-derived component, wherein the ultrafine fiber is dispersed on a surface of the base body and one surface of the base body is subjected to a napping treatment, and wherein the napped artificial leather has a product abrasion level determined by a Martin Dale Abrasion Evaluation of four or more. 2. The base body for a napped artificial leather according to claim 1 , wherein the 1,2-propanediol-derived component is present in an amount of 45 to 400 ppm in the polyester. 3. The base body for a napped artificial leather according to claim 1 , wherein a 5-sulfoisophthalic acid salt and/or an ester-forming derivative thereof are contained as the copolymerization components. 4. The base body for napped artificial leather according to claim 2 , wherein a 5-sulfoisophthalic acid salt and/or an ester-forming derivative thereof are contained as the copolymerization components. 5. The base body for a napped artificial leather according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic polymer is polyurethane. 6. A napped artificial leather consisting of a base body consisting of a nonwoven fabric prepared by intertwining an ultrafine fiber layer consisting of an ultrafine fiber having a 0.01 to 5 μm fiber diameter and 5 to 100% by mass of an elastic polymer impregnated into the nonwoven fabric, the ultrafine fiber comprising polyester as a constituent component, the polyester comprising a dicarboxylic acid and/or an ester-forming derivative thereof, and a diol as copolymerization components, the polyester containing 15 to 500 ppm of a 1,2-propanediol-derived component, wherein the ultrafine fiber is dispersed on a surface of the base body and one surface of the base body is subjected to a napping treatment, and wherein the napped artificial leather has a product abrasion level determined by a Martin Dale Abrasion Evaluation of four or more.
