Abstract:
The invention relates to a spun yarn comprising at least one natural fiber and staples of a high strength polyethylene fiber, wherein the high strength polyethylene fiber has an initial modulus of at least 40 GPa and a tensile strength of at least 1.4 GPa, wherein the yarn comprises between 1 and 4% by weight staples of the high strength polyethylene fiber. The invention also relates to a fabric comprising the spun yarn and articles comprising said spun yarn or said fabric.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the manufacture of fibrous yarn including the steps, where an aqueous suspension including fibers and at least one rheology modifier is provided, followed by directing the suspension through at least one nozzle, to form at least one yarn, and then dewatering the yarn.
Abstract:
A method for the manufacture of fibrous yarn includes providing an aqueous suspension formed from fibers and at least one rheology modifier; directing the aqueous suspension through at least one nozzle, to form at least one yarn, and subjecting said yarn to dewatering. The at least one nozzle can have an inner diameter of an outlet smaller than or equal to a maximum length weighed fiber length of the fibers.
Abstract:
A nonwoven fabric composite includes a spunbond nonwoven fabric layer having a plurality of bonded fibers, an air-laid nonwoven pulp web layer having a plurality of pulp fibers and overlying the spunbond nonwoven fabric layer to cooperatively form an inner laminate with the pulp web layer, and a pair of nonwoven carded fiber web layers each having a plurality of carded fibers. The nonwoven carded fiber web layers sandwich the inner laminate therebetween. The bonded fibers, the pulp fibers, and the carded fibers are entangled with one another. A ratio of tensile strength of the nonwoven fabric composite in a machine direction to tensile strength of the nonwoven fabric composite in a cross-machine direction is not greater than 4.

Abstract:
A cord for reinforcing rubber articles according to the present invention is formed by a thread with ply-twisted cellulose fiber twisted with a thread of ply-twisted nylon fiber. The ply twist number of the nylon fiber is less than the ply twist number of the cellulose fiber. A pneumatic tire according to the present invention uses the cord for reinforcing rubber articles according to the present invention in a ply cord of the carcass.
Abstract:
A flame retardant fibre blend comprising 40% to 60% by weight of a modacrylic; 5% to 25% by weight of a natural cellulosic material; and 20% to 40% by weight of a FR viscose based material; wherein any remaining weight % is made up of any one or a combination of the modacrylic, cellulosic or FR viscose. The fibre blend is particularly suitable for the manufacture of a ‘universal’ fabric configured to be resistant to flame, electric discharge and molten metal hazards.
Abstract:
A material has as elements, a plurality of activatable elements each having a portion fixed relative to the material and a portion free to deform relative to the material.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a cut-resistant knit glove comprising: a) cut-resistant composite yarn having a core comprising at least two core yarns and at least one first wrapping yarn helically wrapped around the core, the core yarns including at least one 50 to 200 denier (56 to 220 dtex) glass fiber filament yarn and at least one 100 to 600 denier (110 to 680 dtex) para-aramid yarn, the first wrapping yarn including at least one 20 to 300 denier (22 to 340 dtex) yarn selected from the group consisting of aliphatic polyamide, polyester, and mixtures thereof; b) companion yarn selected from the group consisting of aliphatic polyamide, polyester, and mixtures thereof; and c) lining yarn comprising a composite yarn of from 100 to 500 denier (110 to 560 dtex), the composite yarn having an elastomeric yarn core comprising at least one elastomeric yarn and at least one second wrapping yarn helically wrapped around the yarn core, the second wrapping yarn including at least one 20 to 300 denier (22 to 340 dtex) yarn selected from the group consisting of aliphatic polyamide, polyester, natural fibers, cellulosic fibers, and mixtures thereof; wherein the cut-resistant composite yarn, the companion yarn, and the lining yarn are co-knit in the glove with the lining yarn plated on the interior of the glove and the cut-resistant composite yarn and companion yarn forming the exterior of the glove.
Abstract:
The invention provides flame resistant textile knit fabrics for use in mattresses and household products, particularly bed clothing products such as pillows, comforters, bed spreads, mattress covers and mattress pad ticking. More particularly, the invention provides a fabric made of yarn comprising about 50% to about 80% by weight of inherently flame retardant viscose rayon fiber, about 10% to about 25% by weight of modacrylic fiber, and about 10% to about 25% by weight of cellulosic fiber.
