Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed toward a non-coated fabric for outdoor applications that is made up of a woven fabric and a chemical composition impregnated into the woven fabric. The woven fabric is made from multifilament yarns that are solution dyed and have a UV rating of at least 500 hours. The chemical composition includes a fluorocarbon polymer, a water repellent agent, a blocked isocyanate extender, and a fire resistant agent.
Abstract:
A carpet constructed from a biodegradable nonwoven face layer and a backing layer that is biodegradable and/or recyclable. The face layer comprises a needle-punched nonwoven web formed from a blend of different fiber types each of which is biodegradable, the blend comprising face fibers having a relatively high decomposition temperature and thermally activatable binder fibers having a thermal activation temperature lower than the decomposition temperature of the face fibers. The binder fibers bind to one another and to the face fibers. The face fibers can comprise one or more types of fibers that are biodegradable. Suitable fiber types include but are not limited to wool, hemp, cotton, polylactic acid, jute, flax, kanaf, sisal, rayon, and silk. The binder fibers in some embodiments of the invention comprise low-melt polylactic acid.
Abstract:
Tufted carpets bonded with thermoplastic binders and having improved resistance to fuzz formation due to removal of pile yarn filaments from tuft bundles comprise one or more backings, face yarn that forms a pile on one side and stitches on an opposite side, a thermoplastic binder that binds stitches and the backing or backings, and an organic polymer that bonds filaments of the stitches. Processes for making carpets comprise applying to a stitched side of a tufted backing a liquid stitch bind composition comprising an organic polymer component, removing a liquid component of the composition to bond filaments of the stitches and bonding stitches and one or more backings with a thermoplastic binder that is melted or applied as a melt in contact with the stitched side and the backing or backings and solidified.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a conductive, flame-retardant polymeric fabric composed of a woven or non-woven nylon, polyester or acrylic fabric. A surface of the fabric is provided with a flame-retardant layer applied by coating the flame-retardant directly onto the fabric surface. Disposed on the flame-retardant layer is a conductive metal applied preferably by vapor deposition. The resulting article not only has a surface resistance of less than one ohm/sq, but also the article has an Underwriter Laboratories very thin material (VTM) vertical bum test rating of zero rendering the article suitable for use as an electromagnetic interference shielding fabric.
Abstract:
An artificial turf filament has a cross-section that includes a central area and two wing areas integral with said central area. Further a bundle of a plurality of artificial turf filaments is proposed, wherein the artificial turf filaments are held together by one or more wrapping filaments wrapped around said artificial turf filaments. The wrapping filaments cross each other at cross points, and are bonded, preferably releasable bonded, to one another at said cross points. Also the wrapping filaments are bonded, preferably releasable bonded, to said artificial turf filaments.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a multi-layer, sound-absorbing lightweight component, in particular for motor vehicles. The object of the present invention is to create a sound-absorbing component for motor vehicles which is relatively light and at the same time has a high or even improved acoustic effectiveness compared to conventional components of this type. To achieve this object, a multi-layer component is proposed which has an air-permeable cover layer (17) and at least one air-permeable fleece layer (10″) of thermoplastic fibres, the cover layer (17) being coupled to the fleece layer (10″) in a sound-permissive manner. The component of the present invention is further characterized in that the fleece layer (10″) has a thickness in a range of 2 to 7 mm for a weight per area unit in a range of 500 to 1,500 g/m2 and is not connected or is only partially connected to a surface area of less than 20% of its surface facing the cover layer (17).

Abstract:
A heat reflective garment interlining laminate is provided that includes a continuous filament layer and a metallized thermoplastic film. The laminate is characteristically low-cost and suitable for such apparel applications as sports clothing, military clothing, camping gear, hunting/fishing clothing, and the like.
Abstract:
The floor covering includes multiple layers including a non-woven base layer, a VAE precoat applied to the non-woven woven base layer and overlaid by a first PVC layer. A fiberglass mat is applied over the first PVC layer and a second PVC layer is applied over the mat. A woven PVC layer is laminated by heat and pressure to the underlying second PVC layer. The woven PVC layer comprises monofilament or multifilament cores, preferably but not limited to, polyester filaments overlaid by a PVC coating.
Abstract:
This invention is a floor covering which may be easily removed from its underlying surface and which resists buckling or folding when rolled, comprising: (a) a facing layer; (b) a release backing layer made of post-consumer recycled nonwoven polyester fabric of relatively short fibers, continuous filament fibers, or a mixture thereof and (c) an intermediate polymer layer which is bonded to the release backing layer on one side and directly or indirectly to the facing layer on the other side. A process for preparing a polyurethane foam cushioned floor covering is also disclosed.
