Abstract:
The present invention provides nylon 6 and nylon 6,6 materials having resistance to staining by a wide variety of staining agents including, but not limited to, coffee, red wine, mustard, tumeric, Betadine®, bleach, benzoyl peroxide, as well as other types of common staining agents. The invention also provides fibers, yams and carpet products prepared from such stain resistant nylon materials. Yet further, the present invention provides methods of imparting stain resistance to nylon materials. Methods of providing such treated fibers are set forth.
Abstract:
Broadly defined adhesive latex formulations exhibiting antimicrobial properties. Such formulations comprise certain antimicrobial compounds, such as, preferably, metal-containing ion-exchange and/or zeolite compounds, are provided. The inventive latex formulations must also exhibit substantially uniform characteristics (such a similar viscosity and/or appearance throughout) in order to provide a functionally and aestheticially pleasing formulation for utilization within any number of applications. In order to provide such an inventive latex formulation, it has been found that compounding of all the base ingredients (polymer, antimicrobial agent, fillers) must be undertaken prior to the final thickening step, which ultimately produces the desired latex. The specific method of producing such formulations is also encompassed within this invention.
Abstract:
The pliable building membrane (1) is a non-flammable inorganic fabric (2) defining a first planar side (4) and a second opposite planar side (5). A halocarbon polymer in the form of a fluorocarbon polymer (3) is impregnated into the first planar side (4). The halocarbon polymer may be polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorin plastic, ethylene tetrafluoroethylene and/or a tetrafluoroethylene perfluoro propylene co-polymer, for example. Various embodiments have differing ratios of halocarbon polymer to non-flammable fabric and this influences its vapour permeability. A suitable minimum target vapour permeability is approximately 0.15 µg/N.s. An embodiment having a 1:1 ratio has a vapour permeability of approximately 1 µg/N.s, which is well suited for use as a sarking-type material. The non-flammable fabric (2) may be a satin-weave fiberglass fabric or other non-flammable fabrics, such as basalt fibre fabric, or carbon fibre fabric, for example.
Abstract:
A towel or wipe including a fibre web having a first face and an opposing second face. A coating of material is provided on fibres of the fibre web to form a layer at the first face. The material may be liquid repellent and/or a barrier to liquid vapour or liquids, so as to prevent the first face from becoming wet and/or preventing evaporation of liquid vapour.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a conductive nonwoven, which is carbonized and/or graphitized and has a flexural strength of and 0.5 g/cm , a thickness of between 80 mu m and 500 mu m and an electric conductivity of between 10 and 300 S/cm in the nonwoven web and between 30 and 220 S/cm perpendicular to the nonwoven web.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a textile article comprising a pro-perfume compound that can be used for tumble drying. The present invention further relates to a method for the preparation of the textile article, and the use of the textile article for improving, enhancing, conferring and/or modifying the fragrance impression and/or fragrance intensity of a garment during tumble-drying.
Abstract:
A silicone - (meth) acrylate copolymer (copolymer) and methods for its preparation are provided. The copolymer may be prepared by emulsion polymerization or via other means. An emulsion formulation containing the copolymer is suitable for treating a textile.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a coated textile material, characterised in that a textile substrate is treated with an aqueous liquor containing (A) at least one hydrophobic polymer, (B) optionally at least one condensation product of at least one compound containing amino groups and at least one aldehyde or dialdehyde and optionally at least one alcohol, and then with another aqueous liquor containing (A) at least one hydrophobic polymer, (B) at least one condensation product of at least one compound containing amino groups, and at least one aldehyde or dialdehyde and optionally at least one alcohol, and (C) at least one solid in a particulate form having an average particle diameter of between 1 and 500 nm.
