  • Patent number: 11634530
    Abstract: An object to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a method for producing an artificial leather on a practically usable level without using an organic solvent and without requiring a crosslinking step for a crosslinking agent. The present invention provides a method for producing an artificial leather having a cured product layer of a moisture-curing urethane hot-melt resin composition, wherein the moisture-curing urethane hot-melt resin composition contains a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group and does not contain a crosslinking agent having a hydroxyl group and/or an amino group, the method including applying the moisture-curing urethane hot-melt resin composition to a substrate at a coating weight of 0.03 to 0.5 kg/m2 so as to form a cured product layer of the moisture-curing urethane hot-melt resin composition.
