Abstract:
A filler cloth includes cellulosic fibers treated with a flame retardant chemistry such that the filler cloth has a char length of less than about nine inches when tested in accordance with NFPA 701, such that thermal shrinkage of the filler cloth at 400°F is less than about 35% in any direction, and such that the filler cloth maintains flame and heat resistant integrity when impinged with a gas flame in accordance with testing protocols set forth in Technical Bulletin 603 of the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs. The filler cloth cellulosic fibers are treated with a flame retardent chemistry such that the filler cloth has a Frazier air permeability of less than about 400 cfm and a thermal resistance rating of at least about 3 when tested according to NFPA 2112.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a fabric and a fabric structure made of yarns with reduced water absorption. The fabric comprises yarns and interstices between the yarns, the interstices between the yarns having an average width of greater than 100μm. At least one of the yarns is comprised of multiple fibers. Said at least one yarn has voids between the fibers wherein the voids are filled up with a polymer material. The interstices remain open and the size of the interstices is the same as before the treatment. The filling of the voids between the fibers with the polymer material prevents the absorption of water into said voids and therefore leads to reduced water absorption of the fabric. The polymer material is substantially only located within the voids of the yarn and has embedded the fibers within the outer surface of said yarn.
Abstract:
A mattress, foundation, or other upholstered sleep product or article includes a core and barrier material surrounding the core. The barrier material includes flame and heat-resistant material that is configured to prevent combustion of the core when the upholstered article is impinged with a gas flame according to California Technical Bulletin 603 of the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs. The barrier material may include an intumescent material that is configured to swell and char in the presence of a flame so as to form a barrier to the flame and to heat generated by the flame.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fire resistant composition and a method of making fire resistant cellulosic materials comprising the fire resistant composition. More specifically, the invention relates to liquid compositions, including liquid compositions comprising urea and a boron- containing compound for imparting fire resistance to cellulosic products. The boron-containing compound typically compries boric acids; borates (i.e., boric acid salts); boric oxides (i.e., any compound containing boron and oxygen), and mixtures thereof.

Abstract:
A fire resistance article comprises a bast fiber component, a thermoplastic component that acts as a binder, and a first fire retardant component, the article having a coating of a second fire retardant component, such that the article can be used in the manufacture of structures having a Class A fire resistance rating. In one method of manufacture, a fibrous mass of the bast fiber component and the thermoplastic binder has the first fire retardant dispersed therethrough, and is then heated, compressed to a desired thickness and density, and coated with the second fire retardant component.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fibre insulation material for the manufacture of a non-woven fibre batt comprising primary fibre components of a portion of 50% to 90% cellulose fibres; 2% to 20% synthetic fibres, said synthetic fibres being crimped fibres having a length between 12 to 75 mm; and 2 to 20% bi-component fibres comprising a core and an outer sheathing, said outer sheathing having a lower melting point than the core. Hereby, an inexpensive and voluminous fibre product is achieved having good spring elastic properties as well as good sound and heat insulating properties.
Abstract:
A flexible sheet material useful as an energy absorbing material is impregnated with a dilatant silicone composition comprising the reaction product of a polydiorganosiloxane and a boron compound selected from boric oxide, a boric acid, a boric acid precursor, a borate or a partially hydrolysed borate. The silicone composition can be modified by reaction with a hydrophobic compound reactive with silanol groups to improve the resistance to washing. The flexible sheet can be a material, e.g. a fabric, having a negative Poisson's ratio.
