Abstract: Method for manufacturing artificial leather having excellent fastness and dyeing properties by using a dope-dyed polyester sea-island type composite yarn and artificial leather produced by the method are disclosed. A non-woven fabric is made of a dope-dyed polyester sea-island type composite yarn, to which an organic pigment and/or inorganic pigment is added. The yarn is impregnated with a polyurethane resin containing an organic and/or inorganic pigment, followed by weight reduction processing and dying with a disperse dye. The fabric/artificial leather expresses an uniform and deep color.

Abstract: An artificial leather composed of a dope-dyed polyester fiber is provided. The artificial leather includes a carbon black in island component of a sea-island composite fiber and a polyurethane polymer elastomer. It is possible to improve the fastness to light and the fastness to rubbing at medium and deeper color, and at the same time, to have a luxuriously high quality and to reduce the amount of dye used in the production of artificial leather.

Abstract: A suede type artificial leather having an antifouling property is provided. A polymeric elastomer is impregnated in a nonwoven fabric formed by three-dimensionally interlacing ultrafine fibers and raising is formed, wherein the polymeric elastomer is a fluorine-containing modified polyurethane, and the fluorine-containing modified polyurethane is obtained by a polymerization of a urethane prepolymer having isocyanate groups at terminals, obtained by reacting a diol and a diisocyanate, and a fluorinated carbon compound having hydroxy functional groups at both terminals. The fluorine-containing modified polyurethane has a weight average molecular weight of 500,000 to 800,000. The suede type artificial leather is prepared by using the fluorine-containing polyurethane elastomer.
