The invention discloses artificial leather and a preparation method thereof. The artificial leather comprises the following components in parts by weight: a base material, a shell fabric, 100 parts of a bonder and a piece of base cloth, wherein the shell fabric comprises the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of
polyvinyl chloride resin and 50-60 parts of a
plasticizer; the base material comprises the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of the
polyvinyl chloride resin, 70-80 parts of the
plasticizer and 100 parts of a filling agent. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing shell fabric
slurry; preparing base material
slurry; applying the obtained shell fabric
slurry to release paper, and
drying; applying the base material slurry to a
surface layer, and foaming at the temperature of 180-190 DEG C; uniformly applying the bonder to a foaming layer, and bonding the base cloth with the foaming layer;
drying an obtained product at the temperature of 140-170 DEG C to prepare the leather. According to the preparation method, the surface properties of the leather are improved and the leather is good in
wear resistance,
odor-free and good in smooth feel.
