Carpet tiles for minimally prepared subfloors and methods of making the same
12241201 · 2025-03-04 · ·

A carpet tile and process for making the same, wherein the carpet tile comprises a facecloth having a plurality of face yarns tufted through a primary backing, an extruded polymer secondary backing layer, and a cushion, comprising a reinforcing scrim layer within a polymer layer. The top surface and bottom surface of the carpet tile are defined by the facecloth and the cushion, respectively. A polymer-based resin is extruded onto the facecloth to form an at least substantially uniform secondary backing layer, and the cushion is laid onto the extruded polymer secondary backing layer while the extruded polymer secondary backing layer remains above a softening temperature for the resin. The entire multi-layer web is then passed through a nip to embed the reinforcing scrim layer into the extruded polymer secondary layer, and the entire web is chilled.

PARACHUTE BUFFER MATERIAL
20170058437 · 2017-03-02 ·

In one aspect, parachute buffer materials are described herein. In some embodiments, parachute buffer materials described herein comprise a fabric formed from a plurality of fibers and a coating disposed on at least one outer surface of the fabric. The fibers have an inner component formed from a thermoplastic material and an outer component formed from a non-thermoplastic material. In some cases, the fabric is a woven fabric. Additionally, the coating can comprise or contain a silicone along with, or without, other functional components. Moreover, materials described herein can be used to form various structures for parachute buffering applications, and the coatings of materials described herein can enhance the materials' buffering performance.

FIBER COATING METHOD

The present invention relates to a method of coating fibers with macsumsuk or clay minerals, in which wet mixed pulverization is performed by using the macsumsuk or the clay minerals, silicate zirconia, nano silver, yucca extracts, and the like as raw materials, granules are produced by a dry method, dry pulverization is performed, and the resultant is mixed with a solvent to coat the fabric. Therefore, a coating layer is hardly separated even if the number of uses increases, and deodorization performance can be maintained.

Renewable antibacterial waterborne polyurethane synthetic leather with high peel strength and preparation method thereof

A renewable antibacterial waterborne polyurethane synthetic leather with high peel strength and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. According to the disclosure, a renewable and durable antibacterial waterborne polyurethane emulsion is coated on release paper to obtain a polyurethane surface layer, and the polyurethane surface layer is adhered to the surface of a surface-modified base fabric to obtain a base fabric containing the polyurethane layer; and then chlorination is performed to obtain the renewable antibacterial waterborne polyurethane synthetic leather with high peel strength. The halamine antibacterial monomer used in the disclosure has antibacterial renewability and is connected with an ultraviolet absorbent, so that the antibacterial durability of a polyurethane coating is improved.
