  • Patent number: 9873978
    Abstract: Provided is a hybrid-type polyester resin which, when used in processing a base material such as textile or PET film, can impart excellent flame retardance to the base material. The hybrid-type polyester resin can be inhibited from scattering high-temperature drips, even if the hybrid-type polyester resin burns. The hybrid-type polyester resin comprises both a polyester resin and a siloxane prepared from silica and an alkoxysilane. Therefore, the hybrid-type polyester resin retains the excellent properties inherent in polyester resin and exhibits extremely excellent flame retardance by virtue of hybridization with the siloxane. Even if the hybrid-type polyester resin burns, the hybrid-type polyester resin is less susceptible to deformation, and is therefore inhibited from scattering high-temperature drips.

  • Patent number: 9828572
    Abstract: A method is provided for removing a volatile organic compound (VOC) contained in an artificial leather fabric and odor caused by the volatile organic compound by coating the artificial leather fabric with an adsorbent which reacts with a noxious substance containing the volatile organic compound (VOC); and immersing; washing; and drying the reacted artificial leather fabric. The method includes coating the adsorbent and immobilizing the volatile organic compound through a reaction, to prevent volatilization of the organic compound or reduce an amount thereof. Further, after the reaction between the artificial leather fabric and the adsorbent, the artificial leather fabric is washed, to remove the volatile organic compound immobilized on a surface of the fabric from the artificial leather.
