Subject field(s)
  • Preparation of Leather and Leather Articles
CONT

Polyurethane leather is ... in trend as a substitute for natural leather. It is used primarily as an upper material for shoes, bags and luggage, for automotive interiors and as a coating for ball surfaces, for example. The systems are suitable for use as a finish, topcoat, intermediate coat and an adhesion coat on textile substrates. The success of polyurethane leather is due in part to its economical production, but above all to its property profile which is nearly the equal of, and in some aspects superior to, that of natural leather.

CONT

With properties similar to genuine leathers, PU synthetic leather has been widely used in the manufacturing of shoes, handbags, furniture, accessories, and sports equipment. Superior durability, good hand, and breathability have truly made PU synthetic leather a perfect substitute for genuine leather. San Fang produces both woven and non-woven substrate PU coated leathers. The outstanding finishing techniques have successfully earned global recognition for its products.

The ceinture fléchée, or arrowhead sash, was one of the famous badges of the voyageur. The ceinture fléchée had many uses. It was used for warmth, as a tump line and a support on the portage, as an emergency rope, and as a mark of distinction and origin. When tightly woven and treated with beeswax, it could even be used as a cup. Originally, ceintures fléchées were woven by hand using a technique called "finger weaving". Later, sashes, were machine loomed in England for the Canadian mass market. The term "fléchée" refers specifically to the original arrowhead design, but there were many other patterns. The chevron, the "flammes"(flames), the "éclairs"(ligtening bolts), the "W"(double chevron), and the "tête de flèche"(large two-tone arrowhead) were also used. Colors and patterns were distinctive of various regions. Probably the most famous of all sashes were those from the Assomption area of Lower Canada, which had multiple multi-colored lightning-bolts(éclairs) flanking a central red core.

CONT

L'entoilage ajoute de la rigidité et du «corps» au vêtement en lui donnant la forme voulue à certains endroits. Il sert également à renforcer les parties qui subissent beaucoup de tension comme les poches et les fermetures. On taille ordinairement l'entoilage de la dimension de la parementure et on l'insère entre la parementure et le vêtement (...) On trouve sur le marché trois tissus d'entoilage principaux : les toiles, les synthétiques et les préencollés. Ils se présentent tous trois en une variété de pesanteurs et de textures et en différents coloris de pastel et foncés. Indépendamment du genre d'entoilage utilisé, sa pesanteur doit convenir à celle du tissu du vêtement.
