Abstract:
1. A method for preparing a composite fabric, said method comprising: casting a foamed liquid adhesive onto a smooth release-coated web to provide a porous adhesive layer on the web; applying a first surface of a fabric to the porous adhesive layer, while the porous adhesive layer is wet, so as to provide a first wet composite; drying the first wet composite to fix the porous adhesive layer to the first surface of the fabric and thereby provide a first dry composite; removing the release-coated web from the first dry composite to provide a porous adhesive-coated intermediate; depositing onto an embossed casting substrate a layer of liquid skin coat composition, so as to provide a wet skin layer; applying the porous adhesive layer of the adhesive-coated intermediate to the wet skin layer, so as to provide a second wet composite; drying the second wet composite to fix the skin layer to the adhesive-coated intermediate, and thereby provide a second dry composite; and separating the embossed casting substrate from the second dry composite to provide the composite fabric.
