FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an artificial leather according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1, in an embodiment, an artificial leather 10 includes multi-layer thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) mesh layers 11 and 12, fiber fineness of the TPU mesh layers 11 and 12 ranges from 5 μm to 30 μm, and the TPU mesh layers 11 and 12 include a surface TPU mesh layer 12. The artificial leather 10 may be applied to a vamp material, or may be applied to a vamp material of a sport shoe, but is not limited to the foregoing.


In an embodiment, the TPU mesh layers include a first TPU mesh layer 11 and a second TPU mesh layer 12. Fiber fineness of the first TPU mesh layer 11 ranges from 10 μm to 30 μm, and fiber fineness of the second TPU mesh layer 12 ranges from 5 μm to 10 μm. The second TPU mesh layer 12 is disposed on the first TPU mesh layer 11, and the second TPU mesh layer 12 is the surface TPU mesh layer.


In an embodiment, the second TPU mesh layer 12 has a surface 121, and the surface 121 may have a texture, or the surface 121 may have a teasing structure. Therefore, the artificial leather 10 can achieve hand feel or an aesthetic texture effect of a teasing leather.


In an embodiment, peeling strength of the TPU mesh layers of the artificial leather 10 is greater than 2.5 Kg/cm, and a disadvantage that a vamp material of a conventional sport shoe cannot achieve high peeling strength can be overcome.


In an embodiment, the artificial leather 10 further includes at least one combination joint 111, formed between the two adjacent TPU mesh layers 11 and 12. The TPU mesh layers are made of a same TPU material, and are formed through stacking in a meltblowing manner. Therefore, during the meltblowing and the stacking, a combination joint 111 may be formed between the two adjacent TPU mesh layers, to more firmly combine the two adjacent TPU mesh layers, and peeling strength of the TPU mesh layers can be increased.


In an embodiment, the TPU mesh layers include a first TPU mesh layer, a second TPU mesh layer, and a third TPU mesh layer. Fiber fineness of the first TPU mesh layer ranges from 10 μm to 30 μm, fiber fineness of the second TPU mesh layer ranges from 10 μm to 30 μm, fiber fineness of the third TPU mesh layer ranges from 5 μm to 10 μm, and the third TPU mesh layer is the surface TPU mesh layer. The second TPU mesh layer is disposed on the first TPU mesh layer, and the third TPU mesh layer is disposed on the second TPU mesh layer.


Therefore, a range of the fiber fineness of the surface TPU mesh layer is different from a range of fiber fineness of another TPU mesh layer, and the fiber fineness of the surface TPU mesh layer ranges from 5 μm to 10 μm, so that the peeling strength of the TPU mesh layers of the artificial leather 10 can be increased to be greater than 2.5 Kg/cm, and preferred peeling strength may be 3 Kg/cm, to satisfy a standard of high peeling strength of the vamp material.

  • 16. The manufacturing method of claim 15, further comprising a step of performing meltblowing on the melted TPU to form a third TPU mesh layer on the second TPU mesh layer, the fiber fineness of the third TPU mesh layer ranges from 5 μm to 10 μm.
  • 17. The manufacturing method of claim 16, further comprising a grinding step of performing surface grinding on the third TPU mesh layer by using a grinding machine, so that the third TPU mesh layer is formed a teasing structure.
  • 18. The manufacturing method of claim 16, wherein the multi-layer TPU mesh layer structure is heat pressed by using a heat pressing wheel, and the heat pressing wheel has a surface texture, so that the third TPU mesh layer has the surface texture.
  • 19. The manufacturing method of claim 14, wherein the fiber fineness of the second TPU mesh layer ranges from 5 μm to 10 μm.
  • 20. The manufacturing method of claim 19, further comprising a step of disposing a TPU thin film on the second TPU mesh layer.
