Properties of artificial leather applied for the production of upper shoe by the internal forming

Artificial leather is widely used in shoe industry. Artificial leather is exposed to various influences during wearing of shoes. Existing methodology does not allow to evaluate the technological properties. The objects of the study were artificial leather with a few - layer structure. This article is devoted to issues of setting production to manufacturing, which includes the following tasks: study of the structure, raw material composition and physical and mechanical properties of artificial leathers, development of a methodology for assessing the technological properties of artificial leathers. It gives recommendations on the use of materials in the manufacture of shoes. The article presents the results of a research of the technological properties of artificial leather.
