A WOVEN FABRIC-ELASTOMER COMPOSITE PREFERABLE FOR TRANSFER OR FILM COATING

摘要

A Method of making a leather-like fabric elastomer composite comprising the sequential steps of: a) providing a woven textile fabric, having a technical face and a technical back; b)producing a foamed elastimer composition comprising: i)a waterborne, anionically-stabilized polymer latex; ii)an acid generating chemical; iii)at least one cloud-point surfactant, wherein sufficient gas is introduced within the elastomer compostion to produce said foamed elastomer composition of (b) to the technical back of said textile fabric of (a); d) heating said foamed fabric to an initial temperature to effectuate a uniform dispersion ofsaid elastiomer compostion and tocause coagulation of said elastomer composition over said textile fabric; e) heating said textile fabric to a second temperature higher than said initail temperature in order todry, but not destroy, said coagulated elastomer over said textile fabric.
