Abstract:
A coated textile system comprising a fibrous substrate coated by an elastomer mixed with inorganic particles provides good drape and bending with very high cut resistance. The substrate can include conventional and/or high performance fibers. The elastomer includes particles of at least two sizes, and in embodiments three or more sizes, which fill in gaps between the largest particles and prevent a blade from pushing the particles aside and passing between them. The coating can be applied directly to the substrate, or pre-formed and adhered thereto. Particles can be pigmented, to impart a color to the textile. Pin holes formed by the particles and/or by mechanical manipulation can increase MVT. An elastomeric cover layer can enhance grip and/or reduce MVT. A plurality of layers of coated textile can be combined, in embodiments attached only about their perimeters, to provide even higher levels of cut resistance without sacrifice of bendability.
Abstract:
A non-flammable fabric having a face of pile fabric comprising a blend of wool and permanently flame retarded rayon, and a backing of permanently flame retarded rayon and a high strength material having good heat resistant and flame retardant qualities. The fabric preferably includes a latex type back coating for providing stability to the fabric and for locking the pile in place. The method for manufacturing the fabric is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A synthetic leather has excellent flame retardance and an article covered with the synthetic. The synthetic leather includes a fiber base material layer formed of a non-woven fabric sheet, wherein the non-woven fabric sheet includes at least one flameproof layer formed of a web including a non-melting fiber A having a high-temperature shrinkage rate of 3% or less and a thermal conductivity, conforming to ISO22007-3 (2008), of 0.060 W/m·K or less and is formed by bonding the flameproof layer to a scrim layer including a carbonized heat-resistant fiber B having an LOI value, conforming to JIS K 7201-2 (2007), of 25 or more, and a resin layer is laminated on a surface of the scrim layer, and a covered article covered with the synthetic leather.
Abstract:
A method of making a composite ballistic fabric of the present invention includes weaving a first ballistic woven layer having a first weave pattern and a second ballistic woven layer having a second weave pattern to form the composite ballistic fabric. The second weave pattern can have a different weave pattern than the first weave pattern. The present invention may also be embodied as a composite ballistic fabric including a first ballistic woven layer having a first weave pattern woven to a second ballistic woven layer having a second weave pattern. The second weave pattern can have a different weave pattern than the first weave pattern.
Abstract:
A shrapnel containment system is provided which is adapted to be installed at an interior of a building wall to contain shrapnel from a blast, the system including a panel made of a layer of elastomeric material and fastener elements to fasten the layer to a wall of a structure, with the panel optionally including a fabric reinforcing layer. A method for producing the panel is also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention is in the field of composite material manufacturing technology, and relates to a prefabricated fabric for liquid molding composite material and a preparation method thereof. The prefabricated fabric comprises a basal fiber fabric, which is characterized in that one or two surface(s) of the basal fiber fabric is(are) conglutinated with a toughening layer. The method for preparing the prefabricated fabric comprises the steps of conglutination of toughening layer, and conglutination of tackifying layer. The prefabricated fabric has both the interlaminar selective toughening and tackifying functions, and realizes the high toughness modification of the composite material while keeping the composite material liquid molding processibility and the good tackifying performance.
Abstract:
A cut-resistant tarpaulin has a waterproof coating bonded to a cut-resistant woven fabric. The fabric has a leno or gauze weave. The fabric has warp yarns and weft yarns of braided fibers. The fibers have an initial modulus greater than 400 grams per denier.
Abstract:
A structure based on velour fabric, having at least a first layer and a second layer and intermediate ribs connecting these layers provides a production-efficient, stable and nevertheless light-weight product. The velour fabric is made of a commercial yarn such as aramid fiber, carbon fiber, ceramic fiber or in particular glass fiber. The velour fabric is resin-hardened, wherein the intermediate ribs for rigid spacing elements between the first layer and the second layer.
Abstract:
A coated textile material, particularly for use as a durable filter fabric, is made from a textile substrate, such as a woven fabric, having a microporous coating of an elastomeric fluorocarbon polymer. The substrate may be formed from aramid or polyphenylene sulphide or glass fibres. The elastomeric polymer may be a vinylidene fluoride pentafluoropropene tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer. The microporous coating may be applied as a formed aqueous emulsion which is dried and mechanically crushed.
