Abstract
Abstract Laminated artificial leather having a structure characterized in that, in-between a PVC foamed abraded bottom layer and a top layer of wet PU abraded or a special formulated PVC non-foamed sheet or a ground sheet of very low foaming rate, lamination of single or multilayer foamed and non-foamed PVC are inserted as intermediates. After the addition of leather like smell flavor and punched with micro-perforation, the final product gives both surfaces a hand feeling of Nu-Buck leather with excellent stability yet the cost is low and easy to work with.
