FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to leather, and more particularly to antibacterial and deodorizing leather.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Because of the breathability, durability and special grain of a genuine leather material, genuine leather products occupy a certain rate in the market. On the contrary, based on the consideration of animal protection and price, artificial leather is developed accordingly. In order to achieve an antibacterial and deodorizing effect of leather products, an antibacterial agent is added to achieve the antibacterial effect in the leather production process. In general, the antibacterial agent is added to a solid foaming material, and then the solid foaming material is attached to the leather by means of solid viscose. However, the leather produced by this method is not only troublesome but also easy to waste materials and increase costs if the size is different in the lamination process. In addition, the solid foaming material and solid viscose need special treatment after recycling so as not to harm the environment. This is not eco-friendly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to save the manufacturing cost and simplify the manufacturing process, the primary object of the present invention is to provide an antibacterial and deodorizing leather.

The antibacterial and deodorizing leather comprises a leather body and an antibacterial and deodorizing layer. The antibacterial and deodorizing layer includes a water-based foaming material and an antibacterial deodorant. The water-based foaming material and the antibacterial deodorant are mixed and arranged on the leather body and then bonded with the leather body by hot pressing.

Preferably, the leather body includes a skin layer and a fibrous layer. The skin layer includes a skin connecting surface. The fibrous layer includes a fibrous connecting surface and a fibrous surface. The fibrous connecting surface and the fibrous surface are located on two opposite surfaces of the fibrous layer. The skin connecting surface is bonded with the fibrous connecting surface. The antibacterial and deodorizing layer is bonded with the fibrous surface.

Preferably, the water-based foaming material accounts for 5-10 parts by weight, and the antibacterial deodorant accounts for 6-10 parts by weight.

Preferably, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer further includes a bactericide, and the bactericide accounts for 8-10 parts by weight.

The above technical features have the following advantages:

1. By uniformly mixing the antibacterial deodorant and the bactericide through the water-based foaming material to form the gelatinous mixture, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer is arranged on the leather body according to the size of the leather body. Then, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer is tightly bonded with the leather body by hot pressing, achieving the effects of saving costs, simplifying the manufacturing process, and environmental protection.

2. The antibacterial and deodorizing layer is arranged on the fibrous layer to be in direct contact with the human body, so that the antibacterial and deodorizing effects are better.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIG.1andFIG.2illustrate an embodiment of the antibacterial and deodorizing leather of the present invention. The antibacterial and deodorizing leather comprises a leather body1and an antibacterial and deodorizing layer2.

The leather body1includes a skin layer11and a fibrous layer12. The skin layer11includes a skin connecting surface111and a skin surface112. The skin connecting surface111and the skin surface112are located on two opposite surfaces of the skin layer11. The fibrous layer12is a split leather layer and includes a fibrous connecting surface121and a fibrous surface122. The fibrous connecting surface121and the fibrous surface122are located on two opposite surfaces of the fibrous layer12. When the skin connecting surface111is bonded with the fibrous connecting surface121, the skin layer11and the fibrous layer12are stacked and bonded. The skin surface112is the grained bright surface of the leather body1. In a leather product, such as leather shoes, leather sofas, leather bags, etc., the skin surface112is exposed to show the bright grain of the leather product. The fibrous surface122is the rough surface of the leather body1.

The antibacterial and deodorizing layer2includes a water-based foaming material, an antibacterial deodorant, and a bactericide.

The water-based foaming material is gelatinous, has good bending resistance and good filling effect, and will not glue together when ironing or stacking. The antibacterial deodorant has mildew-proof and antibacterial effects. The bactericide has the effect of killing bacteria harmful to a human body10(referring toFIG.3), such asEscherichia coliandStaphylococcus, and so on. The water-based foaming material accounts for 5-10 parts by weight, the antibacterial deodorant accounts for 6-10 parts by weight, and the bactericide accounts for 8-10 parts by weight. The water-based foaming material includes a foaming agent and water by a weight ratio of three to two.

A method of manufacturing the antibacterial and deodorizing leather includes a mixing step S01, a setting step S02, a cooling step S03, and a hot-pressing and bonding step S04.

Mixing step S01: mixing the water-based foaming material, the antibacterial deodorant and the bactericide uniformly to form a gelatinous mixture.

Setting step S02: coating the mixture on the fibrous surface122of the fibrous layer12.

Cooling step S03: drying the mixture arranged on the fibrous surface122and standing for cooling. After drying, the mixture is allowed to stand for about 10 minutes, the mixture is cooled to a temperature below 30 degrees, and the mixture becomes a solid state.

Hot-pressing and bonding step S04: pressing the gelatinous mixture to form the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2by means of a hot pressing machine or a roller coating machine and bonding the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2and the leather body1together.

In the present invention, because the water-based foaming material is an excellent bonding interface, the antibacterial deodorant and the bactericide can be uniformly mixed to form the mixture. The mixture is gelatinous and can be arranged on the fibrous surface122according to the size of the leather body1. Then, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2is tightly bonded with the leather body1by hot pressing. Therefore, the present invention solves the problems in the conventional leather production process, that is, in the process of laminating foam materials, it may cause material waste and increase costs due to errors in cutting and laminating. In addition, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2is integrated with the leather body1. There is no need to recycle the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2, achieving the effects of saving materials and costs, simplifying the manufacturing process, and environmental protection.

Referring toFIG.3andFIG.4, the antibacterial and deodorizing leather can be used for making leather products, such as leather shoes, leather clothes, leather gloves, etc. In this embodiment, leather shoes are taken as an example. In general, the fibrous surface122of the antibacterial and deodorizing leather comes into contact with the human body10. By providing the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2on the fibrous surface122and allowing the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2to directly contact the human body10, the fibrous surface122can achieve antibacterial, deodorizing and mildew proof effects. The antibacterial and deodorizing leather provided by the present invention was sent to SGS (an independent laboratory) for certification. As shown inFIGS.5-7, the SGS certification report, the antibacterial activity parameter (R) of the antibacterial and deodorizing leather is much greater than 2, so the antibacterial effect of the antibacterial and deodorizing leather meets the standard.

In summary, by uniformly mixing the antibacterial deodorant and the bactericide through the water-based foaming material to form a gelatinous mixture, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2is arranged on the leather body1according to the size of the leather body1, and then the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2is tightly bonded with the leather body1by hot pressing, achieving the effects of saving costs, simplifying the manufacturing process, and environmental protection. In addition, the antibacterial and deodorizing layer2is arranged on the fibrous layer12to be in direct contact with the human body10, such that the antibacterial and deodorizing effects are better.
