Abstract:
A textile sleeve having a seamless, circumferentially continuous wall including a textile layer formed of yarns interlaced with one another. The textile layer having an outer surface and an opposite inner surface bounding an enclosed cavity extending lengthwise along a central longitudinal axis between opposite open ends. At least some of the yarns include multifilaments resistant to heat and monofilaments resistant to heat, and a silicone-based coating adhered to the outer surface.
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:
Disclosed are a sound absorbing fabric with improved thermal insulation, and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein an inorganic aerogel powder and a thermosetting binder resin are impregnated into a non-woven fabric made of a heat-resistant fiber, wherein the inorganic aerogel powder has a surface modified by a surfactant to be uniformly mixed with and dispersed in a binder resin, thereby forming the sufficient number of micro cavities inside the non-woven fabric and increasing dispersibility of the inorganic aerogel powder, and thus heat resistance, sound absorbing and sound insulating properties, and thermal insulation properties can be significantly improved.
Abstract:
A ballistic resistant composite comprises (i) a first unidirectional layer comprising aromatic polyamide yarns arranged parallel with each other, a second unidirectional layer comprising aromatic polyamide yarns arranged parallel with each other, the yarns of the first layer having an orientation in a direction that is different from the orientation of the yarns of the second layer, (ii) at least one binding yarn binding the first and second layers together, the binding yarn being transverse to the plane of the first and second layers, (iii) a binding resin positioned between the first and second unidirectional layers and (iv) a coating on at least portions of external surfaces of the first plurality and the second plurality of yarns and filling some space between the filaments in the first plurality and the second plurality of yarns, wherein the coating comprises a viscoelastic resin, an aqueous based fluoropolymer and a blocked isocyanate.
Abstract:
An improved secondary carpet backing fabric imparts increased resistance to buckling in carpets compared to conventional widely used secondary backings while providing the performance of conventional secondary carpet backings (e.g., similar peel strength, tuft bind, ease of handling). The improved backing is produced by a one-step weaving process and can be converted easily into carpet using current carpet making techniques. The inventive secondary carpet backing contains core-spun filling yarn with specific properties and is preferably woven in a leno or plain weave. Compared to carpets with conventional secondary backings, carpets with the inventive secondary backings display reduced growth in cyclic tensile testing.
Abstract:
A flexible composite laminate, which is fire resistant on either one or both sides, comprises: (a) a textile web substrate; and the following combination of successive layers on either one or on both sides of the substrate, namely: (b) a first discrete adhesive layer, to provide adhesive bonding between substrate (a) and a layer (c); (c) a layer superimposed upon the first discrete adhesive layer, which comprises at least one fire-resistance imparting inorganic substance in an amount effective to impart fire-resistance to a preselected degree to the substrate; (d) a second discrete adhesive layer on layer (c), to provide adhesive bonding between layer (c) and a sealing layer (e), as defined below; and (e) a hydrophobic sealing layer superimposed on the second discrete adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer may be optionally omitted when the substrate is a fiberglass substrate, and/or the second adhesive layer may be optionally avoided when the hydrophobic sealing layer is silicone-based. When layer (e) is e.g. PVC, it is found that the emission of smoke is reduced as compared with unlaminated PVC.
Abstract:
According to an example embodiment, an arrangement is provided, the arrangement including a mobile communication device including a terminal device for wireless communication with one or more other devices via a communication channel, and a fire retardant sleeve having a shape and size that enable accommodating the mobile communication device therein, wherein at least part of the mobile communication device is enclosed within the fire retardant sleeve.

Abstract:
A coated woven textile fabric is disclosed which is formed of synthetic yarns of more than one denier preferably synthetic filamentary yarns of differing deniers. A polymeric coating such as polyurethane is layered on at least one side thereof, but may also be provided on both sides. The combination of yarns of different deniers provides a superior adhesion surface for the polymeric coating. The yarns and the polymeric coating are preselected respectively in deniers and thickness so as to render the fabric substantially impermeable to fluid under pressure, while maintaining superb packageability and antiblocking properties for use in vehicle occupant restraint systems. A flexible lightweight air bag for receiving and containing fluid under pressure for use in a vehicle air restraint system is also disclosed, incorporating the woven textile fabric of the invention.
Abstract:
A nonflammable sliver knit high pile fabric. The backing fabric is knitted from a flame retardant aramind spun yarn, the pile fibers are composed of a mixture of flame retardant rayon fibers and superwashed wool fibers and the back coating is constituted of a flame retardant composition. The fabric not only is flameproof, but it does not react to a flame by melting. It has good thermal insulation properties and is stable against shrinkage. The fabric is especially useful in the manufacture of wearing apparel intended for use in extreme environments, such as fire fighting and cold weather military operations.
