Abstract:
Fire resistant mattresses, fire resistant mattress cover materials and related methods are provided. The fire resistant mattress cover material for use as an outer layer on a mattress can include a three-dimensional knit fabric. In some embodiments, the three-dimensional knit fabric can include a first layer comprising fire resistant corespun yarns, which can be glass reinforced continuous multifilament micro denier yarns, that form a fire resistant barrier when exposed to at least one of heat or flame and a second layer comprising polymer filament yarns. The three-dimensional knit fabric can also include a middle layer between the first layer and the second layer. The middle layer can include monofilament polymer yarns knitted to provide structural support and space between the first layer and the second layer.
Abstract:
Described are fibrous products for molding for use in Automotive products such as Underbody Aero-shields, wheel house liners, and Engine compartment applications with enhanced heat aging capability, abrasion resistance, and resistance to water, oils, and other fluids and is recyclable. The fibrous products also have acoustical benefits such as improved acoustical impedance or sound dampening properties over currently available acoustic insulation materials.
Abstract:
A stretch fabric in which one yarn of warp and weft yarns is obtained from an inelastic yarn having a crimp ratio of 5% to 30% and at least a portion of the other is obtained from an elastic yarn having a crimp ratio of 0% to 5%, and characterized in that the extension percentage in a load direction along the former yarn is 5% to 30% when weighted with a 340N/5 cm load in the load direction. The stretch fabric has excellent cushioning properties and fatigue resistance, and can be used as a material that saves space and combines holding properties with cushioning properties.
Abstract:
The near-infrared radiation absorbing masterbatch provided is prepared by melt-extruding a mixture comprising near-infrared radiation absorbing particles and a first polymer. The particles have a near-infrared absorption at a wavelength ranging from 0.7 μm to 2 μm and a far-infrared emissivity equal to or more than 0.85. The near-infrared light radiated by the particles has a wavelength ranging from 2 μm to 22 μm. Accordingly, the product made from the masterbatch, such as the near-infrared radiation absorbing fiber, plate, or film can not only absorb sunlight and store heat, but also radiate far-infrared light. Hence, the product has a thermal effect for keeping the human body warm and can serve as indoor and outdoor heat storing products at the same time.
Abstract:
Provided is a heat-resistant fabric made of a meta-type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber, characterized in that the abrasion resistance of the heat-resistant fabric in accordance with the JIS L1096 8.19.1 A-1 method (universal type method (plane method), abrasion tester press load: 4.45 N (0.454 kf), paper: #600) is 200 rubs or more, the tear strength of the heat-resistant fabric in accordance with the JIS L1096 8.17.4 D method (pendulum method) is 20 N or more, and the retention of the abrasion resistance and the retention of the tear strength after 100 washes in accordance with JIS L0844 No. A-1 are each 90% or more relative to before washing. As a result, the provided heat-resistant fabric can be dyed to a color chosen from a wide range of color options and is capable of maintaining high mechanical characteristics over time/age even after repeated uses or washes, etc.
Abstract:
Fiberglass products with increased flame resistance are described. The products may include fiberglass-containing thermal insulation that include a plurality of glass fibers coated with a phosphorous-containing flame retardant. The flame retardant may include an organophosphorous compound having a substituted or unsubstituted organophosphorous group bonded to a substituted or unsubstituted amide group by a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group. The fiberglass products may further include fiberglass composites that are about 50 wt. % to about 98 wt. % glass fibers, about 2 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a binder; and a phosphorous-containing flame retardant. Also described are methods of making fiberglass products with increased flame resistance. These methods may include the steps of contacting glass fibers and/or fiberglass products with a flame retardant mixture that includes a phosphorous-containing compound.
Abstract:
A cloth material in a raw fabric state includes a conductive fiber, and another fiber that is nonconductive. The conductive fiber is arranged along a width direction of the cloth material in a raw fabric state. A first weave portion that is used to create a product such as a seat cover is established at a center, in the width direction, of the cloth material in a raw fabric state. A second weave portion, in which the conductive fiber is arranged in a non-interfering way so as to not go over and under, or be intertwined with, the other fiber in the second weave portion, extends from both ends of the first weave portion.
Abstract:
A thermoadhesive tape particularly but not exclusively intended for the manufacture of stitch-free items, like for example garments and clothing accessories, comprises weft and warp and at least one filament of thermoadhesive fibre woven with the weft and warp.
Abstract:
Cloth designed to be provided with at least one permanent fold, wherein at least one shrink thread is woven in said cloth. The shrink thread or shrink threads are woven in the cloth according to a general direction extending crosswise over the fold line.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of a flame resistant three-layer double-knit or woven fabric, also know as a matelasse fabric. The top layer is of standard non-flame resistant face yarn, the middle layer is of flame resistant filler yarn and the bottom layer is of flame resistant core wrap spun yarn. This flame resistant matelasse fabric can be used to protect a mattress, foundation, mattress pad, pillow, comforter, upholstery cushion, pillow, office panel, transportation seat or any other article requiring flame resistant protection. In this invention, a matelasse fabric is formed by circular double knitting or weaving a flame resistant core spun yarn into the bottom portion of the fabric, utilizing a heavy cotton count flame resistant filler yarns for the middle layer and using conventional non-flame resistant yarns for the top layer. The invention has particular applicability in the formation of flame resistant mattresses and foundations that require passage of large open flame tests such as CPSC's 16 CFR part 1633, California's Test Bulletin 603 and Test Bulletin 129 and in the formation of flame resistant upholstered furniture that requires passage of California's Test Bulletin 133 or British Standard 5852 using the crib 5 ignition source or higher.
