Napped artificial leather dyed with cationic dye, and method for manufacturing the same

A napped artificial leather dyed with a cationic dye, comprising:

• a non-woven fabric of cationic dyeable polyester fibers having a fineness of 0.07 to 0.9 dtex;
• and an elastic polymer provided inside the non-woven fabric,
• wherein the cationic dyeable polyester fibers include a polyester containing a dicarboxylic acid unit mainly of a terephthalic acid unit and a glycol unit mainly of an ethylene glycol unit, and
• as a second dicarboxylic acid unit, 1.5 to 3 mol % of a unit represented by formula (Ia):
• and
• wherein the napped artificial leather has
• L* value≤50,
• a chlorine content of 90 ppm or less,
• a grade of color difference, determined in an evaluation of color migration to PVC under a load of 0.75 kg/cm at 50° C. for 16 hours, of 4 or more,
• a tear strength per mm of thickness of 30 N or more, and
• a peel strength of 3 kg/cm or more,
• wherein the tear strength is measured according to a method, wherein a test strip of 10 cm long by 4 cm wide is cut out from the napped artificial leather, then, a 5 cm-long cut is made at a center of a shorter side of the test strip, parallel to a longer side, then, using a tensile testing machine, a first and a second end opposite the first end of the test strip are nipped by a first and second chuck of a jig of the testing machine, and a stress-strain (s-s) curve is measured at a tensile speed of 10 cm/min.
