DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0040] In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the protective textile embodiment (K) being subject of this invention have been disclosed solely for the purpose of better understanding of the subject and described in a manner not causing any restrictive effect.

[0041] Invention relates to a protective textile embodiment (K) for use to prevent corrosion and deterioration of iron, steel and similar metal content materials by environmental conditions such as sea water, fresh water, humidity, dust, sand, extreme wind, UV lights, too low/high temperatures, immediate temperature changes etc. and a method for production of said protective textile embodiment (K). Protective textile embodiment (K) of the invention comprises yarn (1) of physical and mechanical features convenient for making textile surface (4) by use of one of weaving, knitting or non-woven surface production methods. FIG. 1 shows a general view of yarn (1) forming textile surface (4) provided in protective textile embodiment (K) of the invention. According to it, said yarn (1) contains matrix (2) and volatile inhibitor (3). The said matrix (2) is the carrying material that forms the structure of yarn (1) and provides yarn (1) to be produced. Inhibitor (3) is a volatile chemical providing protection against corrosion and leaves yarn (1) structure, sticks onto material intended to be protected and prevents corrosive factors to access material intended to be protected. Thus, achievement of protection operation is provided by means of the said volatile inhibitor (3). The said matrix (2) used in yarn (1) production is polyolefin base material and preferably polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, poly methyl ethylene, poly butane, poly methyl pentene and/or mixture of them are used.

[0042] Sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, various benzoate groups or mixture of them are used as the inhibitor (3). Preferably sodium nitrate is used as volatile inhibitor (3) in the invention. The yarn (1) structure comprises volatile inhibitor (3) of 0.1% to 5% by weight. This rate is preferably in range of 1% to 4%.

[0043] The protective textile embodiment (K) of the invention comprises at least one textile surface (4). The said textile surface (4) is manufactured by use of the yarn (1) comprising the matrix (2) and volatile inhibitor (3) by preferring one of weaving, knitting or non-woven surface production techniques and is responsible for release of inhibitor (3) as protective layer provided inside the protective textile embodiment (K). FIG. 2 shows a general view of textile surface (4) provided in protective textile embodiment (K) of the invention.

[0044] The protective textile embodiment (K) of the invention comprises at least one sealing surface (5). The said sealing surface (5) provides movement of the volatile inhibitor (3) towards material intended to be protected. Thus, movement towards material intended to be protected rather than outer environment is possible. In addition, sealing surface (5) provides prevention of liquid flowing to material intended to be protected.

[0045] The protective textile embodiment (K) of the invention comprises at least one outer surface (6). The said outer surface (6) is used as the most out layer of the protective textile embodiment (K) and increases strength against environmental and mechanical effects.

[0046] The textile surface (4) provided in the protective textile embodiment (K) of the invention is a structure in contact with material intended to be protected. Surface of the textile surface (4) not on side of material intended to be protected is in contact with sealing surface (5). The outer surface (6) is located in the most out part (in contact with sealing surface (5)). In this context, the protective textile embodiment (K) is a structure of at least three layers and comprises from material intended to be protected to outward, the textile surface (4), the sealing surface (5) and the outer surface (6). FIG. 3 is a general view of three-layer embodiment of the protective textile structure of the invention.

[0047] The textile surface (4) provided in the protective textile embodiment (K) is a woven, knitted or non-woven textile product and shows feature of preventing occurrence of corrosion and provides protective performance against corrosion. The said textile surface (4) has a wider surface area in comparison to applications comprising bag or membrane structure and surface area is preferably at least 3 times bigger than bag and membrane embodiments. Preferably knitted textile surface (4) is used in the invention. Additionally, the textile surface (4) can be produced by weaving, knitting or randomly ordered fibres of yarn (1) by use of mechanical, chemical or thermal methods.

[0048] Sealing surface (5) provided as an intermediate layer in the protective textile embodiment (K) is a polymeric film structure and can be manufactured preferably from e-PTFE, polyurethane derivatives or mixtures thereof. In addition, the sealing surface (5) can be of mono-component or bi-component structure. Function of the sealing surface (5) is to increase protection performance by preventing access of liquid in outer environment to material intended to be protected.

[0049] Outer surface (6) provided in the protective textile embodiment (K) is a textile surface made from polyester base material or polyamide and function of it is to increase mechanical strength of the protective textile embodiment (K). The outer surface (6) can be woven, knitted or non-woven surface. Preferably woven outer surface (6) is used in the invention. Also, UV contribution materials can be used in the outer surface (6) production and thus material intended to be protected can be protected against UV lights and environmental conditions.

[0050] Yarn (1) structure of the protective textile embodiment (K) of the invention is provided with UV contribution of 1% to 5% by weight and the textile surface (4) is provided with UV strength feature. UV contribution rate is preferably in range of 1,5% to 3,5%.

[0051] Also pigment is added to the said yarn (1) structure and thus desired colour can be given to the textile surface (4).

[0052] Yarns (1) used in manufacture of the textile surface (4) can be manufactured by means of spinning the structure obtained by mixture of the matrix (2) and volatile inhibitor (3) by use of melt spinning and/or bicomponent fibre spinning method.

[0053] Weight of protective textile embodiment (K) is between 100 g/m.sup.2 and 500 g/m.sup.2 and preferably in range of 170 g/m.sup.2 to 300 g/m.sup.2.

[0054] Other than functional features, the protective textile embodiment (K) of the invention together with above described areas can be used as covers for vehicles, aircrafts, ammunitions, weapons, weapon systems and electronic components and similar equipment of civil and military applications. In addition, it can also be used for umbrella, canvas or tent like applications for purpose of protection from sun effects. In this context the protective textile embodiment (K) having said technical characteristics should not be considered as limited only to said areas.

[0055] In order to solve said technical problems and achieve all of the advantages to be better understand from detailed description given below, present invention is a protective textile embodiment (K) to prevent occurrence of corrosion, and comprises at least one textile surface (4) made from a yarn (1) that contains volatile inhibitor (3).
