Publication number: 20200131676Abstract: A method for making puncture resistant material is made by aggressively twisting high modulus continuous filament polypropylene yarns and weaving the twisted yarns into a tight weave. Batting materials are placed adjacent the woven layer (which may comprise one or more individual woven layers) to form a stack and the stack is needlepunched to form a consolidated material. The material is heat treated and calendared and the finished product may be used in applications where puncture resistance is required, such as in a shoe insole material.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2019Publication date: April 30, 2020Applicant: Tex Tech Industries, Inc.Inventors: David F. ERB, JR., Eric A. BARTER

Patent number: 6959855Abstract: A non-woven weld blanket for protecting automobile exteriors and interiors and industrial equipment from weld spatter, comprising a needle punched webbing of pre-oxidized, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers. The fabric is assembled using these carbon precursor fibers that have been interlocked by a needle punch process to produce a non-woven and non-plush blanket. The weld blanket is lightweight and is successful at a cost-effective thickness and density. In use, the blanket can be taped to automobile components or industrial equipment to ensure the security and protection of equipment from molten metal spatter near welding locations.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2003Date of Patent: November 1, 2005Assignee: Tex Tech Industries Inc.Inventors: William M. Bridgeman, Eric D. Ritter, Eliza L. Montgomery
