Abstract
A grain-finished artificial leather composed of a base layer and a coating layer Y formed on one of the surfaces of the base layer. The base layer is composed of an entangled nonwoven fabric X made of bundles of microfine fibers having an average single fiber fineness of 0.07 dtex or less and impregnated with a polymeric elastomer A and a polymeric elastomer B. The entangled nonwoven fabric X is composed of a lower layer Xand an upper layer Xwherein the lower layer Xis impregnated mainly with the polymeric elastomer A which is substantially not adhered to the bundles of microfine fibers and the upper layer Xis impregnated mainly with the polymeric elastomer B which is substantially not adhered to the bundles of microfine fibers. The coating layer Y is composed of a coating layer Yhaving a thickness of 1 to 10 μm which is made of the polymeric elastomer B and formed on the upper layer X, a coating layer Ywhich is made of a polymeric elastomer C and formed on the coating layer Y, and a finished layer Ywhich is formed on the coating layer Y. The grain-finished artificial leather having the above structure combines a natural leather-like, delicate appearance, a good softness and flexibility, and a high peel strength.
