Abstract:
A flocked foam having an embossed pattern provided by a high-frequency welder is disclosed. The foam comprises a partially cross-linked foam substrate (10 to 75% gel fraction in boiling toluene for 15 hours) formed from a 1,2-polybutadiene resin or a polymer blend including a 1,2-polybutadiene resin as one component thereof, and modacrylic pile fibers or a mixture thereof with other pile fibers flocked on the surface of the foam substrate.
Abstract:
The invention comprises a laminate in which one face of a fabric sheet bears a pile of flocked fibers and the opposing face is bonded to a sheet of a foamed polyolefin resin. The laminates are useful as surface covering materials; e.g., carpets, upholstery and wall-coverings.
Abstract:
An adhesive sheet material comprising a dimensionally stabilized and water-resistant fibrous carrier, the back of which carries a continuous impermeable film adhering intimately to the carrier yet preserving its suppleness and conferring on it resistance to stretching and preventing it from fraying, a layer of dry adhesive on this film which is compatible therewith and adherent thereto to protect its suppleness against aging, insensitive to moisture, heat and cold, and adapted to be activated by a liquid medium prior to use.
Abstract:
A PILE FABRIC COMPRISING: (A) A BACKING MATERIAL AND, (B) PILE LOOPS ANCHORED IN SAID BACKING MATERIAL, SAID PILE LOOPS COMPRISING: (1) A FLAMMABLE FIBER AND, (2) A METALLIC LAMINATE THREAD COMPRISING: (A) A SELF-SUPPORTING METAL PLY AND, (B) A POLYMERIC PLY BONDED TO THE METAL PLY.
THESE PILE FABRICS ARE SELF-EXTINGUISHING AND STATIC CHARGE RESISTANT.
