Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a method of using melamine resin fibers, to an insulating material comprising a) from 5 to 95% by weight of melamine resin, and b) from 5 to 95% by weight of polyalkylene terephthalate fibers, and to processes for producing it.
Abstract:
A process for producing continuous filament fibers from a hydroxy- or amino-alkyl-melamine modified melamine-formaldehyde condensation product comprises filtering the highly concentrated aqueous solution of the melamine-formaldehyde condensation product, forcing the filtrate through a spinneret, drying the extruded filaments in a drying shaft by means of hot air, and treating the dried filaments in a tempering oven at temperatures which rise gradually to a maximum temperature of from 160 to 250.degree. C. to cure the precondensate.
Abstract:
A fiber blend of(a) from 10 to 90 parts by weight of metal-coated melamine resin fibers or a blend of uncoated and metal-coated resin fibers and(b) from 90 to 10 parts by weight of natural fibers and wovens, nonwovens, yarns, tapes or moldings formed from the blend.
Abstract:
Moldings, in particular foams and fibers, based on melamine/formaldehyde condensation products, in which from 0.1 to 70 mol% of the melamine have been replaced by melamine substituted by from 1 to 3 hydroxyoxaalkyl groups of the formula--(CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O).sub.n --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --OH (n=1-5)have increased elasticity.
Abstract:
Aqueous suspensions of polyolefin fibrids are prepared. To avoid foam formation and improve fiberbonding, small amounts of anionic agents are added to the suspensions. The suspensions are suitable for the manufacture of paper-like or textile-like web structures distinguished by very good fiber bonding and good initial wet strength.
Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of nonfoaming aqueous suspensions of polyolefin fibrids using suitable dispersing agents. These are obtained by polycondensation of 1 mole of melamine, from 1.8 to 3 moles of formaldehyde and from 0.1 to 0.5 molar portions of amino carboxylic acids or alkali metal salts thereof. Very small quantities of said dispersing agents are sufficient to finely disperse the hydrophobic polyolefin fibrids in water and to prevent the formation of foam in the manufacture of web structures of a paper-like and textile-like nature. The aqueous suspensions of polyolefin fibrids may also contain cellulose fibers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to flameproof fabrics based on melarnine resin fibres, fireproof blankets and clothing made therewith and their use for extinguishing fires and protecting people and objects from fire, combustion products and/or extinguishing agents.
Abstract:
A process for producing fibers by spinning a resin by a centrifugal spinning process comprises supplying a resin solution having a viscosity from 50 to 200 Pa.s at the spinning temperature to a whirler plate and ensuring that the resin solution is under a sufficient pressure to completely fill the nozzles of the whirler plate as the fibers are being spun. The process is particularly suitable for producing fibers based on amino resins. In the apparatus the supply line for the resin is preferably located within the driveshaft.
Abstract:
The continuous preparation of melamine/formaldehyde precondensate solutions is carried out by a process in which melamine, formaldehyde and, if required, modifiers and/or additives are metered into a continuous mixer, and the homogeneous mixture is passed into a single-screw or twin-screw extruder, condensed at elevated temperatures, cooled and extruded.
