Abstract

An ultra-light polyurethane artificial leather composition comprises a one-component type blocked polyurethane high solid resin of 100 parts per weight, a capsule-type hollow microsphere of 1 to 10 parts per weight, a curing agent of 1 to 10 parts per weight, and a high solid type toner of 1 to 20 parts per weight.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An ultra-light polyurethane artificial leather composition comprising:
a one-component type blocked polyurethane high solid resin of 100 parts per weight;
a capsule-type microsphere of 1 to 10 parts per weight;
a curing agent of 1 to 10 parts per weight; and
a high solid type toner of 1 to 20 parts per weight,
wherein the capsule-type microsphere has a shell which is made of a thermoplastic resin having a softening temperature of 170° C. to 220° C., and inside of the shell is filled with hydrocarbon having a low boiling point of less than 170° C.

2. The ultra-light polyurethane artificial leather composition of claim 1 , wherein the one-component type blocked polyurethane high solid resin comprises:
at least one polyol of 60 to 80 wt % selected from the group consisting of polyetherpolyol having an OH value of 26 to 30 mgKOH/g, polyesterpolyol having an OH value of 51 to 57 mgKOH/g, and glycol;
an isocyanate compound of 15 to 30 wt %; and
a blocking agent of 5 to 10 wt %.

3. The ultra-light polyurethane artificial leather composition of claim 2 , wherein the polyetherpolyol is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyetheyleneglycol (PEG), polycarbonatediol (PCD), polypropyleneglycol (PPG), and polytetramethyleneetherglycol (PTMEG),
the polyesterpolyol is manufactured by reacting adipic acid and neopentylglycol, and
the glycol is at least one selected from the group consisting of 1,6-hexanediol, ethyleneglycol, and diethyleneglycol.

4. The ultra-light polyurethane artificial leather composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbon having the low boiling point is liquefied hydrocarbon.

5. The ultra-light polyurethane artificial leather composition of claim 1 , wherein the capsule-type microsphere has a diameter of 10 to 200 μm.

6. The ultra-light polyurethane artificial leather composition of claim 1 , wherein the curing agent cures the one-component type blocked polyurethane high solid resin.

7. The ultra-light polyurethane artificial leather composition of claim 1 , wherein the high solid type toner is at least one selected from the group consisting of non-phthalates, esters, and ethers.

8. An ultra-light artificial leather, which is manufactured by curing any one composition of claim 1 and used as an interior material for furniture or a vehicle.

9. A method for manufacturing an ultra-light polyurethane artificial leather, the method comprising steps of:
a) coating an one-component type blocked polyurethane high solid resin on a release paper to a thickness of 0.1 to 0.2 mm to form a surface skin layer;
b) coating a composition on the surface skin layer to a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm, and then heat curing thereof at a temperature of 150 to 170° C. to form a porous foamed layer;
c) coating an adhesive on the foamed layer to a thickness of 0.1 to 0.2 mm and then adhering a fabric thereon;
d) aging at a temperature of 80 to 90° C. for 24 hours; and
e) peeling off the release paper,
wherein the composition includes the one-component type blocked polyurethane high solid resin of 100 parts per weight, a capsule-type microsphere of 1 to 10 parts per weight, a curing agent of 1 to 10 parts per weight, and a high solid type toner of 1 to 20 parts per weight,
wherein the capsule-type microsphere has a shell which is made of a thermoplastic resin having a softening temperature of 170° C. to 220° C., and inside of the shell is filled with hydrocarbon having a low boiling point of less than 170° C.
