Description

A group of utility models relates to textile products, and more specifically to a yarn or yarn from a polymeric material modified in the process of their preparation by an additive with antimicrobial action and a modifier that gives it non-combustible (fireproof) properties, and textile (knitted) material based on it. Such threads or yarns melt, but do not burn and can be used in light industry for the manufacture of these materials and products from them, namely: covers and upholstery for furniture and vehicle seats (in cars, trains, planes, ships, etc.) , protective and special clothing, including gloves, for firefighters, race car drivers, submariners, astronauts, etc., as well as bedspreads, mattress covers, tablecloths, curtains, etc., in hospitals, resorts, boarding houses, etc.

Known variants of a hosiery made of yarn, at least part of which includes synthetic thread (fiber), modified with an additive with antimicrobial action (RU 74774, class A41B 11/00, published July 20, 2008).

Also known is a decorative fabric with reduced flammability made of fireproof polyester threads or yarn in combination with a combustible component (cotton, rayon, linen) with a ratio of non-combustible and combustible components equal to 20: 80-80: 20 (RU 2353720, class D03D 15 / 00, published 2009.04.27).

Known fabric is intended for use as decorative upholstery materials for the purpose of interior decoration of public buildings, institutions and vehicles, therefore, it does not have high requirements for antimicrobial processing.

In addition, its fire-retardant properties are significantly limited, since it is a blended one and, along with fire-resistant threads or yarns, it includes a combustible component, and the invention provides, in particular, a ratio of non-combustible and combustible component equal to 20:80, which makes this material quite vulnerable to fire .

Textile products, especially those that have direct contact with the skin, are negatively affected by various microorganisms located on the skin, including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, causing various spots to appear on these products and giving them undesirable odors, as well as their fading, while these microorganisms weaken the strength of the products and cause their cross-contamination. At the same time, materials and products that are in common use, in turn, can have a negative impact on the consumer in terms of finding and transferring undesirable microorganisms from one person to another.

The technical task of the proposed utility model is to create a textile product that combines antimicrobial and fire retardant properties.

The technical result of the utility model is to ensure durability and safety in operation, in particular, to increase the antimicrobial and fire retardant properties of products in the human circulation sphere made of the proposed yarns or yarns and from textile materials based on them.

Additional advantages of the proposed facilities include: better air permeability, vapor permeability, lightness and elasticity of threads or yarns and textile materials based on them, as well as their inherent prolonged antimicrobial effect, which contributes to a significant slowdown in the growth of bacteria on their surface.

The named technical result is achieved in a utility model due to the following set of features.

Non-combustible antimicrobial thread or yarn is made of a polymeric material, the composition of which (in the process of obtaining it) is introduced anti-combustible and antimicrobial additives.

In an advantageous embodiment of the utility model, the thread or yarn is made of polyester threads (fibers) obtained from such a synthetic polymer material as polyethylene terephthalate or polypropylene, and the antimicrobial additive (antimicrobial additive) contains silver ions, an anti-combustible additive, while phosphorus or methyloxyphospholane.

The specified thread (yarn) can be made smooth, or textured, or profiled, which in the last two versions will increase the antibacterial properties of a woven or knitted product made from it by increasing the area of contact of the threads (fibers) with the skin, adding to this an improvement in the operational properties of the product, in particular, such as: elasticity and resilience due to the implementation of a complex (multifilament) thread, with a filamentation index f 16-112.

Also, the thread can be made pneumatically connected.

The fineness of the thread (yarn) lies in the range of values: 2 tex - 250 tex - 2 tex × 2 - 125 tex × 2.

The non-combustible antimicrobial textile material is made on the basis of a polymer thread or yarn, the composition of which (in the process of its production) is entered into an anti-combustible and antimicrobial additive.

In an advantageous embodiment of the utility model, the thread or yarn included in the specified material is made of polyester or polypropylene yarns (fibers), the antimicrobial additive (antimicrobial additive) contains silver ions, and the anti-combustible additive contains phosphorus or methoxyphospholane.

The thread (yarn) from which the specified material is made can be made smooth or textured or profiled, which in the last two embodiments of the utility model will increase the antibacterial properties of a woven or knitted product made from this material due to an increase in the area of contact of threads (fibers) with the skin, adding this is the improvement of the operational properties of the fabric and the product made from it, in particular such as: elasticity and elasticity due to the implementation of this complex thread (polyfilament oh), a measure of filament f 16-112.

Also, said material may be made of a pneumatically connected thread.

The fineness of the thread (yarn) of the specified material lies in the range of values: 2 tex - 250 tex ÷ 2 tex × 2-125 tex × 2.

In accordance with the proposed utility model, a synthetic material, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is used as the polyester backbone of the thread (yarn). Unlike natural ones, this thread (yarn) is characterized by significant mechanical abrasion and tear strength, as well as elasticity and biostability.

The elementary threads or fibers that make up the proposed thread (yarn) have a high modulus of elasticity, due to which the products made from it perfectly retain their shape and restore it even after prolonged exposure to external force, so they do not wrinkle and are distinguished by their shape stability. The specified thread therefore they do not crease and differ in shape stability. The specified thread (yarn) is characterized by a low specific gravity.

The proposed thread (yarn) and material based on it are resistant to acids and alkalis, as well as oxidizing agents and reducing agents.

Knitted and textile products from these chemically inert threads (yarn) can be worn by the most sensitive (allergic-dependent) people.

The antimicrobial additive (additive) of the thread (yarn) can contain silver in various forms (ions, salts, metal, zeolites, compounds, for example, with zinc), which provides the above properties.

Also, in addition to silver, other substances can be used for antimicrobial treatment of threads (yarn), for example, such as: triclosan, copper oxides, natural chitosan, etc.

An antimicrobial additive, for example, containing silver ions, has multiple effects on bacterial life processes, preventing the growth of fungi, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and mold, as well as various infections, thereby improving foot hygiene and reducing the unpleasant odor of sweat. Mentioned additive provides a lasting effect, ease of integration, minimal fading, the absence of friction and clogging during spinning, as well as the absence of mechanical deformation of twisted fibers.

The drawing shows a diagram of a process for producing antimicrobial, anti-combustible threads (yarn) dyed in bulk.

Amorphous granulate (PET) through a transport system is first supplied to a daily container 1, from which it passes through a rotary dispenser 2 to a crystallizer 3, where this granulate is heated by circulating air and thoroughly mixed to prevent the granules from sticking together.

After completion of the crystallization process, the granulate is poured into a vertical shaft dryer 4, from which the dried granulate is piped to a gravimetric unit 5.

The dye polymer concentrate (PAC) is loaded into a container 6, from which it is fed through a conveyor to a dryer 7, and then to a gravimetric unit 5.

Antimicrobial (AMD) and anti-combustible (AGD) additives are loaded into the corresponding containers 8 and 9 (it is possible in one container), of which (through) they are fed to the dryer 10 by conveyors (a) and then to the gravimetric block 5.

From the gravimetric block 5, the granulate mixture, which includes: PET, PAC, AMD and AGD, enters the extruder 11 through a loading funnel, where they are melted and homogenized.

The obtained melt is fed to the molding heads 12, and from there it flows under pressure to the four-chamber spinning metering pumps 13, each of which measures the melt flow into four dies.

Next, the melt is fed by a spinning pump to a spinneret kit, where it is finely filtered. After exiting the spinneret, the trickles of melt fall into the blower shaft 14. Due to the difference between the molding speed and the winding speed on the winding heads 15, an elementary thread or yarn fibers are drawn.

Since a bacterium-resistant additive with an antimicrobial effect, containing silver ions, as well as an anti-combustible additive are added to the mass of threads during their formation, and not to their surface as a result of, for example, impregnation, they do not migrate from the products to the skin, and therefore for a sufficiently long time stored in textile material and products made of these threads (yarn), even after repeated washing and cleaning of these products and textile material.

The proposed yarns (yarn) can be produced: smooth complex, textured, untwisted, pneumosigned, dyed and dyed in the range of linear densities: 8.2-16.7 tks for smooth threads and 8.4-16.7 × 2 tex for textured threads . The oxygen index of the thread is at least 30%.

The above threads (Tables 1 and 2) can be used for the manufacture of: home textiles, workwear, non-woven materials, curtain fabrics, as well as decorative, decorative and upholstery materials.

It should be noted that the utility model, in addition to the synthetic ones, also includes artificial polymer threads and yarn obtained from cellulose, for example, such as staple, viscose, etc. and materials based on them.

Several experiments were carried out to confirm the antibacterial properties of threads (yarn), in particular, sterility was seeded in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Health of the USSR No. 720.

Made in accordance with the above method, the complex polyester thread was cut into small pieces 1-2 cm long and pulled apart for possible germination of microorganisms.

Sowing was carried out in 3 tubes with thioglycolic medium, 3 tubes with Saburo medium, and 3 tubes with Hottinger sugar broth, placing 4-5 pieces of test material in each. The material was taken in 5 repetitions at different lengths of the thread (upper, lower, and from the center). For control, seeding was performed on ENDO, Saburo and blood agar media.
