Abstract

Disclosed is a grain-finished artificial leather including: an artificial leather base material; and a resin layer stacked on at least one surface of the artificial leather base material, wherein the artificial leather base material contains: a fiber-entangled body of ultrafine fibers; 3 to 50 mass % of a first elastic polymer; 2.5 to 6 mass %, in terms of phosphorus atoms, of first phosphorous-based flame retardant particles having an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm; and 1 to 6 mass % of a plasticizer, and the resin layer contains: a second elastic polymer; and a total content, in terms of phosphorus atoms or in terms of hydroxyl groups, of 0 to 8 mass % of flame retardant particles having an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm and being at least one selected from the group consisting of second phosphorous-based flame retardant particles and first metal hydroxide particles.

Claims (30)

1. A grain-finished artificial leather, comprising:

an artificial leather base material; and

a resin layer stacked on at least one surface of the artificial leather base material,

wherein

the artificial leather base material comprises a fiber-entangled body of ultrafine fibers, where the ultrafine fibers have an average fineness of 0.9 dex or less; 3 to 50 mass % of a first elastic polymer; 2.5 to 6 mass %, in terms of phosphorus atoms, of first phosphorous-based flame retardant particles having an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm; and 1 to 6 mass % of a plasticizer comprising a fatty acid ester obtained from a fatty acid having 12-18 carbon atoms and a polyhydric alcohol, and

the resin layer comprises a second elastic polymer; and a total content, in terms of phosphorus atoms or in terms of hydroxyl groups, of 0 to 8 mass % of flame retardant particles having an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm and being at least one selected from the group consisting of second phosphorous-based flame retardant particles and first metal hydroxide particles.

2. The grain-finished artificial leather according to claim 1 ,

wherein the artificial leather base material comprises 0.5 to 5 mass % of the fatty acid ester as the plasticizer.

3. The grain-finished artificial leather according to claim 1 , wherein the artificial leather base material further comprises second metal hydroxide particles.

4. The grain-finished artificial leather according to claim 3 ,

wherein a total content, in terms of phosphorus atoms or in terms of hydroxyl groups, of the first phosphorous-based flame retardant particles and the second metal hydroxide particles contained in the artificial leather base material is 2 to 6 mass %.
