Abstract:
For coating, a flat body is inserted into a mold having a base and side walls. The mold and the flat body are dipped into a coating material- After hardening of the coating material the flat body is removed from the mold and laterally trimmed.
Abstract:
A tufted or bonded carpet tile which has an integral backing material of nonwoven synthetic fibers intermingled and/or needled together to provide comfort to persons walking on same and to reduce the noise level in areas where it is installed.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method for a laminated sheet comprises:coating a backing coating material on a base fabric (A) which is made of a material having a thermal deformation temperature of at least 150.degree. C., the backing coating material comprising(a) a resin aqueous emulsion and(b) 150-170 parts by weight of expandable styrene resin particles per 100 parts by weight of solids of the resin aqueous emulsion (a);stacking a base fabric (B) which is made of a material having a thermal deformation temperature of at least 150.degree. C. on the layer of backing coating material to form a laminate;compressing the laminate from at least one side so as to impregnate base fabric (B) with a portion of the coating material; andexpanding the expandable styrene resin particles and drying the resin aqueous emulsion by heating to a temperature which is higher than the softening point of the resin of the expandable styrene resin particles and which is lower than the thermal deformation temperature of base fabrics (A) and (B), thereby expanding the expandable styrene resin particles and forming a foam layer between base fabrics (A) and (B).
Abstract:
Woven pile fabrics, particularly upholstery fabrics and corduroy, characterized by a superior balance of strength and softness are backcoated utilizing an aqueous emulsion prepared by the emulsion polymerization of: 30 to 50% by weight of a vinyl ester of an alkanoic acid; 10 to 30% by weight ethylene; 30 to 50% by weight of a C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alkyl acrylate; 1 to 5% by weight of copolymerizable N-methylol containing monomer; 0 to 4% by weight of an olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid and 0 to 1% by weight of a polyethylenically unsaturated comonomer.
Abstract:
A thin tough glossy surface may be applied to a flexible substrate in a one step process comprising: applying an aqueous thin film of a compound of a polymer to an endless carrier belt made of a material having a low adhesion to said polymer, contacting the flexible substrate and coated carrier belt and keeping them together while they pass around a hot drum laminator at a temperature of from about 100.degree. to about 150.degree. C.The process is suitable for applying impermeable surfaces to non wovens, and foam backed carpet.
Abstract:
A composite laminate material and a process for making the same are provided, the process comprising the steps of providing an unbonded fibrous batt of desired thickness having a thermosetting binder material dispersed therethrough, applying a layer of desired thickness of a curable latex to at least one side of the fibrous batt, drying the layer to a predetermined moisture level to provide a dried composite material, and heating and compression molding the dried composite material to simultaneously mold the composite, cure the layer and cure the binder material by embossing a pattern into the exposed side of the layer before the layer and the binder material are cured to cause the layer to be contoured with the pattern substantially throughout the thickness thereof and thereby cause the pattern to be substantially impressed into one side of the batt so that the resulting embossed and cured layer has a substantially uniform thickness and the one side of the cured batt substantially conforms to the embossed contour of the layer.This application is a continuation patent application of copending parent application, Ser. No. 167,294, filed Jul. 10, 1980, now abandoned.
