  • Patent number: 11084267
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method to produce a laminated textile product, the product comprising a primary carrier sheet with yarns that form a pile on the front surface thereof, and a secondary carrier sheet adhered to the back surface of the primary carrier sheet, the method comprising providing a lick roller having a mass of molten polymer adhesive at its outer circumference, transporting the primary carrier sheet along the lick roller while its back surface is in contact with the outer circumference of the roller at a contact site, thereby transferring a layer of adhesive to the back surface of the primary carrier sheet, and bringing the secondary sheet in contact with the layer of adhesive to adhere the secondary sheet to the back surface of the primary carrier sheet to produce the laminated textile product, wherein downstream of the contact site between the primary carrier sheet and the lick roller, before the secondary sheet is contacted with the layer of adhesive, cobwebbing of the adhesive b

  • Patent number: 11060006
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method for manufacturing a laminated textile product comprising providing a first intermediate product comprising a primary backing having a front surface and a back surface, and yarns stitched into the primary backing, the yarns extending from the front surface of the backing material, feeding the intermediate product along a body having a heated surface, the back surface being pressed against the said heated surface, to at least partly melt the yarns present in the intermediate product to bond the yarns to the backing, wherein the part of the back surface that is pressed against the heated surface has a relative speed with respect to the heated surface, so as to provide a second intermediate product having a calendered back surface, providing a dimensionally stable carrier sheet or secondary backing, and connecting the second intermediate product to the carrier sheet by providing a hot melt adhesive between the calendered surface and the sheet, and pressing the sheet to t

  • Publication number: 20160108573
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing an optionally laminated textile product, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a first sheet with yarns fastened thereto where the first sheet has a first surface and a second surface and the yarns extend from the first surface of the first sheet, b) heating the second surface of the first sheet thereby at least partly melting the yarns fastened to the first sheet to bond the yarns to the first sheet; c) exposing the second surface of the first sheet to pressure; d) optionally imparting a mechanical force on the molten fraction of the yarns in a direction parallel to the surface of the first sheet; e) applying hot melt adhesive to the second surface of the first sheet; and f)optionally applying a dimensionally stable second sheet to the second surface of the first sheet; with the proviso that where the optional step (f) is absent then step (d) is not optional.

  • Publication number: 20150225604
    Abstract: There is described a solvent assisted dispersion (SAD) process for preparing an aqueous polycondensate (such as a polyester e.g. uralkyd) dispersion substantially free of solvents, comprising the steps of (a) reacting in a non-protic solvent a mixture of (i) one or more polycondensate monomers, oligomers and/or polymers comprising a plurality of isocyanate-reactive groups; wherein the monomers, oligomers and/or polymers comprises at least 2% by weight (components) of a fully, partially or non-neutralized acid group having a pKa less than 3 (ii) at least one multifunctional isocyanate, to form a mixture of a first (e.g. uralkyd) emulsifier resin and the non-protic solvent; (b) optionally, reacting the first emulsifier resin from step (a) with at least one monomer, oligomer and/or polymer different from component (a) (performance polymer) to form a second (e.g.
