  • Synthetic down
    Patent number: 4992327
    Abstract: This invention relates to synthetic fiber thermal insulator material in the form of a cohesive fiber structure, which structure comprises an assemblage of:(a) from 70 to 95 weight percent of synthetic polymeric microfibers having a diameter of from 3 to 12 microns; and(b) from 5 to 30 weight percent of synthetic polymeric macrofibers having a diameter of 12 to 50 microns,characterized in that at least some of the fibers are bonded at their contact points, the bonding being such that the density of the resultant structure is within the range 3 to 16 kg/m.sup.3, the thermal insulating properties of the bonded assemblage being equal to or not substantially less than the thermal insulating properties of a comparable unbonded assemblage. The invention also relates to the method of preparing said material.
