Abstract

A synthetic leather made of a nonwoven fabric impregnated and/or coated with a polymer, with a surface weight of 100 to 500 g/m2, and a tensile strength greater than 300 N/5 cm in the lengthwise and the crosswise direction, where the nonwoven fabric is made up of melt-spun multi-component endless filaments, aerodynamically stretched and directly laid up to form a nonwoven material, having a titer less than 2 dTex, and wherein the multi-component endless filaments, after preliminary bonding, are split and bonded by at least 90% to produce supermicro endless filaments having a titer less than 0.2 dTex.
