  • Publication number: 20090214846
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fixable nonwoven interlining material for use in the textile industry, comprising at least one melt-spun fiber layer and at least one additional fibrous material layer, the fixable interlining material being provided with an adhesive substance at least in partial regions. A particularly high elasticity of the fixable interlining material is achieved by the fact that the melt-spun fibers are composed of an elastic fibrous material, and the at least one layer of fibrous material is composed of staple fibers, and the at least one elastic melt-spun fiber layer and the at least one staple fiber layer are laid one on top of the other in the form of a flat unbonded fiber fabric, and are subsequently bonded by use of a bonding step known as such.

  • Publication number: 20080311809
    Abstract: The invention relates to a textile fabric having a coating composed of two layers of thermoplastic hot-seal adhesives of differing compositions applied one on top of the other, the second hot-seal adhesive, which is applied to the first, having a melting point of >135° C. and a melt flow index (MFI) value of 50 to 250 g/10 minutes (190° C./2.16 kg). The invention further relates to a method for producing a textile fabric, comprising the following steps: a) producing a textile fabric using a textile fabric manufacturing technique; b) applying a layer of a first hot-seal adhesive to the textile fabric; and c) applying a layer of a second hot-seal adhesive to the textile fabric so as to d) form a layer of the second hot-seal adhesive over the layer of first hot-seal adhesive, the second hot-seal adhesive used having a melting point of >135° C. and a melt flow index (MFI) value of 50 to 250 g/10 minutes (190° C./2.16 kg).

  • Publication number: 20060178070
    Abstract: A nonwoven fabric, in particular for use as a separator in batteries or galvanic cells, having functional fibers made of at least one fibrous material which intrinsically contains at least one substance that is chemically active or activatable in an alkaline medium. The substance is incorporated surface-actively exclusively in volumetric regions of the functional fibers whose surface areas are able to be acted upon by the medium. A fiber is made from the mentioned fibrous material. A galvanic cell contains this nonwoven fabric as a separator.

  • Patent number: 6986935
    Abstract: A fusible interlining includes a textile interlining web coated with a plurality of double-layered adhesive dots on a first side of the textile interlining web. Each of the plurality of double-layered adhesive dots includes a bottom dot facing the interlining web and an upper dot disposed above the bottom dot. Each bottom dot includes a binder paste containing 50 to 95 percent by weight of an acrylate binder dispersion having a glass transition temperature Tg<room temperature and 5 to 50 percent by weight of a substance that is one of an epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent weight of 500 to 4000 mVal/kg and a copolymer of acrylates and monomers with at least one glycidyl side group. Each bottom dot may further include 0 to 20 percent by weight of a hardener. Each upper dot includes at least one of a copolyamide, a copolyester, a thermoplastic polyurethane and a polyolefin. A ratio of a mass of the bottom dot to a mass of the upper dot is from 1:0.5 to 1:5.
