Abstract:
A unidirectional reinforcement and a method of producing a unidirectional reinforcement for use in applications where high quality and strength is required. The unidirectional reinforcement includes transversely arranged thin discrete flow passage formed to ensure resin flow properties in a direction transverse to the direction of the unidirectional rovings. Thin discrete flow passage forming means are secured on the unidirectional rovings by means of additional yarns running on the thin discrete flow passage forming means and transverse thereto.
Abstract:
A dye-receiving material comprising:a support comprising synthetic fibers; and a three-dimensional network entangled with at least some of the fibers contained in the support. The three-dimensional network comprises a first polymer that is cross-linked by a second polymer; wherein the first polymer is a polyamine comprising primary amine groups, the first polymer being cationic and water soluble; and the second polymer is a water soluble polymer that is different from the first polymer. The second polymer containing repeating units comprising halohydrin and/or epoxide groups that are capable of forming covalent cross-links with the primary amine groups of the first polymer. Low amounts of cross-linking components are needed for high dye pick-up efficiency.
Abstract:
A single-layer fibrous substrate comprising, by dry weight compared with the weight of the substrate: between 39.9 and 87.9% natural fibers refined to above 50° SR; between 12 and 60% nanofibrillar polysaccharide; and between 0.1 and 4% of at least one retention agent.
Abstract:
A filtration media with improved filtration, strength, tear resistance and air permeability in the form of a relatively thin and lightweight wet-laid fibrous web that has a wet Mullen ratio of 60% to 80% to ensure that the media is flexible enough to be formed into a fluted structure, and strong enough to retain the fluted structure when wound into a roll and to permit further processing without the media becoming too brittle. The filtration media comprises a blend of cellulose and synthetic fibers having a weight percent of 81 wt % to 87 wt % of a weight of the media and a resin binder having a weight of 13 wt % to 19 wt % (preferably about 16 wt %) of the weight of the media.
Abstract:
Methods for manufacturing nonwovens and nonwovens obtained by such methods are provided. Particularly, nonwovens are provided with improved tactile and absorbent characteristics, which make them suitable for use in the field of surface cleaning, personal hygiene, or formation of garments. The methods are based on the use of lobed spunbonded filaments which have been treated by a thickening apparatus.
Abstract:
Separation media, separation modules and methods are provided for separating water from a water and hydrocarbon emulsion and include a fibrous nonwoven coalescence layer for receiving the water and hydrocarbon emulsion and coalescing the water present therein as a discontinuous phase to achieve coalesced water droplets having a size of 1 mm or greater, and a fibrous nonwoven drop retention layer downstream of the coalescence layer having a high BET surface area of at least 90 m2/g or greater sufficient to retain the size of the coalesced water droplets to allow separation thereof from the hydrocarbon.
Abstract:
Fibrous support intended to be impregnated, the fibers of which are formed 100% of cellulose fibers, characterized in that it presents, before creping or embossing, a wet traction strength of over 2.4 N/15 mm in the cross-machine direction, a water absorption capacity of at least 300% and contains less than 2% dry wet strength 10 agent in comparison with the dry weight of the fibers.
