Abstract:
Disclosure provides a twisted and heat-set Bulked Continuous side-by-side bi-component Filament (BCF) yarn including a plurality of side-by-side bi-component filaments, each includes first and second polymer components. The first polymer component forms a first side of the side-by-side bi-component filaments, and includes polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) in at least 25 and up to 75 volume percent of the filament in the BCF yarn. Further, the second polymer component forms a second side of the side-by-side bi-component filaments, and includes one of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polylactic acid (PLA) in at most 75 and down to 25 volume percent of the filament in the BCF yarn. The twisted and heat-set BCF yarn is obtained by a single-step continuous process, and subsequently followed by steps of twisting and/or cabling and heat-setting. The twisted and heat-set BCF yarn as obtained exhibits an elongation to break in a range of 40% to 65%, and floor covering manufactured from the yarn exhibits a Hexapod rating after 12000 cycles of more than 2.
Abstract:
An environmental-friendly composite filament artificial leather includes a composite filament textile and an elastomer film. The composite filament textile is made of composite filament. The composite filament includes at least one core portion and a sheath portion. The at least one core portion is a polyester-type polymer, a polyamide polymer or a polypropylene polymer. The sheath portion sheathes the at least one core portion, and the sheath portion is a thermoplastic elastomer. The elastomer film is bonded with the composite filament textile. The elastomer film is made of one selected from the following materials: thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO). By this way, an environment-friendly artificial leather of lightweight, good abrasion, good touch feeling and well dimentional stability can be manufactured. Furthermore, the artificial leather can be manufactured without use of any solvent, so as to conform to the environment protection requirement.
Abstract:
An interior trim part made by a method that includes the steps of bringing a fiber web onto a conveyor, needlepunching the fiber web to form a base in contact with the conveyor, and introducing a binder component on the base. The binder component introduced on the base is a thermoplastic polymer in solid form. The method includes a step for heating the base to cause the thermoplastic polymer making up the binder component to penetrate the base over a thickness smaller than the thickness of the base.

Abstract:
A carpet constructed from a biodegradable nonwoven face layer and a backing layer that is biodegradable and/or recyclable. The face layer comprises a needle-punched nonwoven web formed from a blend of different fiber types each of which is biodegradable, the blend comprising face fibers having a relatively high decomposition temperature and thermally activatable binder fibers having a thermal activation temperature lower than the decomposition temperature of the face fibers. The binder fibers bind to one another and to the face fibers. The face fibers can comprise one or more types of fibers that are biodegradable. Suitable fiber types include but are not limited to wool, hemp, cotton, polylactic acid, jute, flax, kanaf, sisal, rayon, and silk. The binder fibers in some embodiments of the invention comprise low-melt polylactic acid.
