An imitation-leather sheet laminate material is prepared employing an acidic, heat-coagulated, cross-linkable, elastomeric, latex polymer, wherein the acidic latex polymer is coated onto a top, resin, skin layer and a fibrous base sheet is placed on the wet foam layer, which method comprises: shock-heating the wet foam layer to coagulate and cross-link the polymer therein into a fine, open-cell, tough, foam layer and to remove rapidly water from the coagulated foam layer.

Imitation-leather material and method of preparing such material

An imitation-leather sheet laminate material is prepared employing an acidic, heat-coagulated, carboxylated, elastomeric latex polymer, wherein the acidic latex polymer is coated onto a top resin skin layer and a fibrous base sheet is placed on the wet foam layer, which method comprises: shock-heating the wet foam layer to coagulate the carboxylated polymer therein into a fine, open-cell, tough foam layer and to remove rapidly water from the coagulated foam layer.
