Publication number: 20130263383Abstract: Disclosed is a method of fabricating an automotive seat cover leather. The method includes a preparing process, a tanning process, a neutralizing process, a retanning process, an elastic material adding process, a dyeing/fatliquoring process, and a surface fixing process. After the leather has gone through the tanning process and neutralizing process, the retanning process adds a tanning agent to the leather. The elastic material adding process adds a silicon-based elastic material to induce elasticity in the retanned leather. The dyeing/fatliquoring process adds a dye to the leather in which the elastic material has been added and adds an anion fatliquoring agent to the leather to provide flexibility. The surface fixing process fixes the elastic material, dye, and fatliquoring agent on and in the leather.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2012Publication date: October 10, 2013Applicants: KOREA INSTITUTE OF FOOTWEAR & LEATHER TECHNOLOGY, HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANYInventors: Gun Kang, Mi Jung Yun, Won-Ju Kim, Sang-Chul Lee, Eun-Chul Shin
