    摘要: The present invention concerns a process for the preparation of a flocked material for coating surfaces and structures such as the interiors of automobiles, objects for interior decorating (walls, sofas, armchairs, etc.), handbags, suitcases or other accessories, covers or cases for weapons, musical instruments or electronic devices, or to make carpets and/or rugs, and that comprises the use of bicomponent fibres of the “island-in-the-sea” type of limited length (microfibres). The process of the invention comprises a step of partial and selective dissolution of the sea component by an alkaline removal agent, which makes it possible to obtain a flocked material characterized by improved resistance to abrasion and a more appealing appearance compared to flocked products of the prior art.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a process for preparing a microfibrous multilayer composite material comprising: 1) realizing a non-woven microfibrous semi-finished product made up of microfibres of one or more polymers dispersed in a polyurethane matrix (semi-finished product IE); 2) cutting the semi-finished product lengthwise into two layers; 3) buffing at least one layer on one side (side N) so as to extract the microfibres and form the nap, thereby obtaining a semi-finished raw product; 4) cutting at least one semi-finished raw product lengthwise parallel to the surfaces, producing an non-woven intermediate product, containing the buffed side (side N) and a waste layer (containing the side that has not been buffed—side S); 5) coupling the non-woven intermediate product (on the side opposite side N) to a fabric made of polyethylene terephthalate fibres by means of the application of a thermoplastic polyurethane adhesive that can be cross-linked between the non-woven intermediate product and the fabric; 6) submitting the multilayer composite material to a jet dyeing process. The invention also concerns a multilayer composite material that can be obtained by the process of the invention and the use thereof for covering the internal side of roofs or headliners of vehicles and for covering furnishing elements.
