Abstract:
Textile fabrics consolidated with a binder that is made from a binder system are described. The binder system may include:a) 30% or less by dry weight of at least one polymer based on polyvinyl alcohol;b) 70% or more by dry weight of at least one starch, wherein the at least one starch comprises 50% by weight or more of one or more natural starches based on the total weight of the at least one starch;c) 0 to 10% by dry weight of at least one crosslinker;d) 0 to 10% by dry weight of at least one filler; ande) 0 to 10% by dry weight of at least one additive,wherein a sum of components a) through e) is 100% by dry weight of the binder system. Method of making the textile fabrics consolidated with binders made from the binder systems are also described.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a washable multi-component magnetic floor mat. The floor mat contains a textile component and a base component. The textile component and the base component are attached to one another by magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction is provided by incorporation of magnetic particles in both the textile and base components. The textile component is designed to be soiled, washed, and re-used, thereby providing ideal end-use applications in areas such as building entryways. The present invention eliminates the need to wash the base component of the floor mat which results in environmental, cost and labor conservation. Alignment and deployment of the textile component with the base component in an efficient manner is also described herein.
Abstract:
A coated fabric comprising a fabric substrate and a coating on said substrate, the coating comprising a binder and expandable graphite dispersed throughout the binder.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a non-woven fabric made of inorganic fibers, which has a coating of at least two layers on one of both surfaces, wherein (i) the non-woven fabric made of inorganic fibers has a thickness of at least 0.2 mm, (ii) the first layer of the coating comprises particles, whose particle size is between 50 and 100 μm, (iii) the second layer of the coating, which is applied onto the first layer, comprises particles, wherein more than 90% of the particles have a particle size of less than 20 μm. The non-woven fabric made of inorganic fibers according to the invention, in particular glass non-woven fabrics, are in particular suitable for producing decorative coatings for floor coverings, ceiling coverings and wall coverings.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a composite includes a substrate and an optically transparent resin layer formed on the substrate. The substrate includes a woven fabric and a composition layer formed on the woven fabric and including tetrafluoroethylene resin and silicon dioxide.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a self-adhesive wall covering comprising a glass textile with a closed structure, consisting of glass fibers and of a water-permeable polymer binder, and an adhesive coating comprising both a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) and a water-activable latent adhesive. The definitive attachment to the wall of this repositionable self-adhesive covering takes place, after hanging, by applying one or more coats of water-based paint.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a surface-waterproof sheet for inorganic boards including multi-use non-woven fabrics and a waterproof coating layer, and a method of manufacturing the same. The method includes preparing a multi-use non-woven fabric composed of cellulose fibers, glass fibers and organic fibers; preparing a waterproof coating solution containing a powdery acrylic binder, water, an inorganic filler, a water repellent, a pigment and an antimicrobial agent; and coating the waterproof coating solution on the multi-use non-woven fabric, followed by drying the waterproof coating solution, thereby providing surface-waterproof sheet for inorganic boards for buildings, which has improved adhesion to the inorganic board and economic feasibility.
Abstract:
The present invention is in the field of composite material manufacturing technology, and relates to a prefabricated fabric for liquid molding composite material and a preparation method thereof. The prefabricated fabric comprises a basal fiber fabric, which is characterized in that one or two surface(s) of the basal fiber fabric is(are) conglutinated with a toughening layer. The method for preparing the prefabricated fabric comprises the steps of conglutination of toughening layer, and conglutination of tackifying layer. The prefabricated fabric has both the interlaminar selective toughening and tackifying functions, and realizes the high toughness modification of the composite material while keeping the composite material liquid molding processibility and the good tackifying performance.
Abstract:
Low weight and non-square carpet tile suitable for use in mass transit vehicles, particularly passenger aircraft. The carpet tile preferably weighs less than about 82 ounces per square yard. The carpet tile of this invention may have a carpet pile and at least one backing layer. The backing layer may use low weight filler material. Secondary backing plastic material may be compressed into the tile structure with pressure rollers or other pressure applying process on an improved tile production line.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to cushioned flooring products. More particularly, the present invention pertains to cushioned carpet tiles and carpet and processes for making the same. The cushioned carpet tiles and carpet of the present invention comprise a modified secondary backing material having a scrim material and a non-woven fiber batt, where the non-woven fiber batt is made up of a plurality of fibers. The fibers of the non-woven fiber batt are needled into the scrim material so that the non-woven fiber batt is durably attached to the scrim material.
