Abstract:
Method for manufacturing a carpet or a rug, comprising the following steps: the step (S1-S2) of providing a primary backing (1), being a woven or non-woven layer comprising filaments (2) of polyethyleneterephthalate and copolymer of polyethyleneterephthalate, the coPET having a lower melting temperature than the PET and wherein said PET is available in said primary backing (1) in a higher amount than said coPET; the step of providing a glue layer (11) consisting for 50% or more out of coPET; the step of tufting yarn at least into said primary backing (1); the step of activating said glue layer (11) at least for partially fixing said yarn (12) on said primary backing (1). The invention also concerns carpets (16) and rugs that are obtained or obtainable by means of such method.
Abstract:
A preparation method for artificial leather, includes applying a weaving process. The weaving includes adopting at least two groups of warp or weft yarns, and weaving each group of yarns into a monolayer structure to form at least two monolayer structures. Each of the monolayer structures is woven with some of the warp and/or weft yarns in such layer or with some of the warp and/or weft yarns in another layer to form a number of connecting points, such that at least two monolayer structures arranged in an orderly manner as two laminates are connected with each other by the weaving process, thereby forming a multi-layer integrated base fabric. The method includes bonding the base fabric and a resin layer together to form an artificial leather; and punching holes multiple air vent holes in the leather distributed in the resin layer and base fabric in the thickness direction.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a carpet tile or carpet strip which is suitable for the contract market, more particularly office or commercial buildings, comprising a machine or mechanically woven carpet, comprising warp and weft yarns, a needle felt, an intermediate layer between the needle felt and the machine or mechanically woven fabric, wherein a part of the warp yarns on the back side of the machine or mechanically woven fabric have at least partially fused together. The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of a carpet tile or carpet strip which is suitable for the contract market, in particular office and commercial buildings.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fabric for lightweight nautical sails, such as spinnakers, asymmetric spinnakers, and gennakers, for sailboats and other surface vessels, the fabric being formed of continuous polyester warp and weft yarns and being coated on one or both of its two surfaces with a crosslinked polymer, characterised in that the polyester is poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) having a tenacity greater than or equal to 6 cN/dtex; in that the fabric has a density of between 20 and 50 threads/cm, in terms of warp and weft density; in that the polymer is a crosslinked polyurethane (PU) that is polyether-, polyester-, or polycarbonate based; and in that this PU is derived from the crosslinking (1) of a single-component polyurethane elastomer having a modulus at 100% elongation comprised between 1 and 15 MPa, better still between 2 and 15 MPa, in particular between 6 and 15 MPa, according to the standard DIN 53504, used in implementation in solvent phase; and (2) by a crosslinking agent, based on a proportion of dry crosslinking agent relative to the dry elastomer of between 20% and 75% by weight, in particular between approximately 30% and approximately 75% by weight. The coated fabric has an elongation in the bias direction under 20 Lbs, comprised between 10 and 30 hundredths of an inch.

Abstract:
A sheet material has good mechanical properties, flexibility, lightweight properties, and quality, and also relates to a production method therefor. The sheet material includes, as constitutional components, an elastic polymer and nonwoven fabric composed mainly of ultrafine hollow fiber with an average monofilament diameter in the range of 0.05 to 10 μm, the ultrafine hollow fiber containing 2 to 60 hollows.
Abstract:
A carrier material for vinyl floor covering is provided where the carrier includes a nonwoven layer of fibers containing thermoplastic fibers and a scrim for eliminating wrinkles in the vinyl floor covering. The scrim includes weft threads configured to match the shrinkage in cross machine direction of the nonwoven layer of fibers including thermoplastic fibers for preventing the formation of printing errors and/or surface irregularities in the vinyl floor covering.
