Patent number: 11447897Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: December 24, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Inventors: David F. Erb, Jr., Eric A. Barter

Patent number: 7631405Abstract: Dense, highly stable, high performance ballistic material comprises at least one woven layer of ballistic grade fiber (preferably a stack of such layers) and at least one nonwoven layer of fabric which is entangled with the woven or unidirectional layer by needle felting. The resulting core material does not require assembly of individual woven layers during subsequent manufacture of ballistic articles and exhibits excellent ballistic performance at low areal densities and thicknesses.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2006Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: Tex Tech Industries, Inc.Inventors: Eric D. Ritter, David F. Erb, Jr., Allen L. Price

Patent number: 6579396Abstract: A durable, low-density, high performance insulating material is suitable for use as a high temperature thermal and acoustic insulation. The insulation includes fiber batting made with non-thermoplastic fibers or blends of fibers such as aramid fibers and ceramic fibers, which are bound within at least some interstices by high temperature non-flammable thermoplastic binder such as polyphenylene sulfide. In addition, a fireblocking layer can be provided on at least one surface of the insulation to further improve fire ablation or flame retardance.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2002Date of Patent: June 17, 2003Assignee: Tex Tech Industries, Inc.Inventor: David F. Erb, Jr.
