Material Description.

Plastic Roll Goods (PRG) consists of two basic construction types.

• Supported PRG (artificial leather) - The material shall consist of a synthetic resin skin such as PVC, TPO or PUR supported by a textile fabric. It may also include a laminated foam, or foam/scrim back-layer. These materials are typically processed by cut & sew, wrapping, and low pressure molding.

• Unsupported PRG (foil, compact sheet) - The material shall consist of a synthetic resin skin such as PVC, TPO or PUR (no fabric backing), and may include a foam back-layer (bilaminate), or a foam/skin back-layer (trilaminate). These materials are typically processed by methods such as vacuum thermoforming and low-pressure molding.

PRG materials shall be compounded to be flexible, free from tackiness, and compatible with other PRG materials and coated genuine leather. These plastic rolled goods must be free from pinholes, pitting or dimpling. The material must be capable of being routinely handled in the manufacturing process without damage.
