Abstract:
Textiles are provided that include fibrous cellulosic materials having an a-cellulose content of less than about 93 %, the fibrous materials being spun, woven, knitted, or entangled. The fibrous cellulosic materials can be irradiated with a dose of ionizing radiation that is sufficient to increase the molecular weight of the cellulosic materials without causing significant depolymerization of the cellulosic materials. Methods of treating textiles that include irradiating the textiles are also provided.

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.
Abstract:
Textile woven and knit fabrics with inherent flame resistant properties for use in household filled bedclothing applications, such as mattress ticking. In one embodiment, the yarn used to weave or knit the fabric comprises from about 25 to about 60 weight % modacrylic fiber and from about 40 to about 75 weight % cellulosic fiber. In another embodiment, the yarns used to knit the fabrics can comprise from about 25 to about 75 weight % modacrylic fiber, from about 20 to about 50 weight % of cellulosic fibers, and from about 5 to about 55 weight % of other materials such as polyester fibers/filaments and/or glass filaments. Preferably, the woven fabrics have a spun yarn count from about 20/1 ecc to about 40/1 ecc, while the knit fabrics have a spun yarn count from 10/1 ecc to 30/1 ecc for the face side layer, a yarn count of 4/1 ecc to 10/1 ecc as well as 4/2 ecc to 10/2 ecc for the filling layer, and a yarn count of 20/1 ecc to 40/1 ecc (more preferably 30/1 ecc to 40/1 ecc) as well as a filament yarn count of 100 denier to 300 denier for the back side layer. The textile woven fabric may be suitable for filled bedclothing products such as comforters, bed spreads, pillow and mattress covers, and pillow and mattress pad ticking. The textile knit fabric may be suitable for mattress ticking applications.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a blend of fibers for use in protective clothing, a lightweight fabric made from such blend, protective articles made from the blend or fabric, and methods for making the fabric. The protective fabrics and articles of this invention have the unique combination of being comfortable, being highly effective against electrical arcs and flash fire hazards and having a pleasing appearance. Specifically, these fabrics can be processed to give the look and feel similar to conventional clothing fabrics such as denim fabrics.
Abstract:
The invention relates to technical fabric, especially improved paper machine fabric, that is based on a thread consisting of synthetic polymers. The invention also relates to a method for producing a twisted thread for technical fabric.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of fibrous yarn comprising the steps, where an aqueous suspension comprising fibers and at least one rheology modifier is provided, followed by directing said suspension through at least one nozzle, to form at least one yarn, and then dewatering said yarn.
Abstract:
Ce textile à effet retardant au feu et à la chaleur, est constitué d'un double face : - une face d'ennoblissement, destinée à être positionnée à l'extérieur du vêtement, et composée des fils en cellulose, et - une face fonctionnelle, destinée à être positionnée à l'intérieur d'un vêtement, et développant les propriétés anti-feu. Lesdites faces sont associées entre elles par tissage ou tricotage.
