Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne des nontissés de filaments continus synthétiques, dont au moins une partie à propriétés de surface modifiées, leur procédé de fabrication et leurs applications.The present invention relates to nonwovens of synthetic continuous filaments, at least part of which have modified surface properties, their manufacturing process and their applications.
La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement les nontissés de filaments continus utilisés comme dossiers de revêtements de sol ou tapis à poils piqués ou tuftés, au moins une partie desdits filaments présentant une surface modifiée, facilitant ainsi la pénétration des aiguilles lors du piquage des fils de poil dans le fond.The present invention relates more particularly to nonwovens of continuous filaments used as backing for floor coverings or carpets with quilted or tufted pile, at least part of said filaments having a modified surface, thus facilitating the penetration of needles during the stitching of pile threads. in the background.
L'utilisation de nontissés de filaments continus, gnéralement en polypropylène ou en polyester comme fonds ou supports de piquage de poils est bien connue.The use of nonwovens of continuous filaments, generally of polypropylene or polyester as funds or supports for stitching bristles is well known.
Les supports en polyester sont en particulier employés lorsque l'on veut réaliser des tapis particulièrement stables tels que des tapis en dalles ou des tapis imprimés en lés avec des impressions à motifs raccordables d'un lé sur l'autre, nécessitant là aussi des supports de grande stabilité dimensionnelle tant au cours de transformation : piquage, teinture, impression, enductions d'envers ... que pour leur comportement après la pose. Ils sont aussi utilisés pour la fabrication de tapis tuftés moulables pour automobile à cause de leur bonne élongation à la rupture, leur résistance à la déchirure ainsi que pour leur bonne tenue thermique.The polyester supports are used in particular when one wishes to produce particularly stable carpets such as carpet tiles or carpets printed in strips with prints with patterns connectable from one strip to the other, again requiring supports high dimensional stability both during processing: stitching, dyeing, printing, reverse coatings ... and for their behavior after installation. They are also used for the manufacture of moldable tufted carpets for automobiles because of their good elongation at break, their resistance to tearing as well as for their good thermal resistance.
Toutefois, le piquage des fils dans lesdits supports pose des problèmes. En effet, la pénétration des aiguilles occasionne des casses de brins, de filaments, affaiblissant les propriétés mécaniques du dossier et, de ce fait, provoquant des perturbations lors de la fabrication et des défauts sur le fond de l'article, préjudiciables à sa solidité, donc à son emploi ultérieur dans des conditions normales.However, the stitching of the wires in said supports poses problems. Indeed, the penetration of the needles causes breakage of strands, of filaments, weakening the mechanical properties of the backrest and, thereby, causing disturbances during manufacture and defects on the bottom of the article, detrimental to its solidity. , therefore to its subsequent use under normal conditions.
Afin de remédier à ce problème technique, la solution la plus souvent proposée consiste en la pulvérisation du nontissé ou des filaments lors de leur fabrication par un produit lubrifiant ; le nontissé ainsi lubrifié pouvant ainsi être pénétré par les aiguilles sans dommage lors du piquage des poils. De tels procédés sont décrits par exemple dans les demandes de brevet français publiées sous les n° 2 174 290 et 2 245 807, dans lesquelles on utilise un produit type polysiloxane.In order to remedy this technical problem, the solution most often proposed consists in spraying the nonwoven or the filaments during their manufacture with a lubricating product; the nonwoven as well lubricated thus being able to be penetrated by the needles without damage during the pricking of the hairs. Such processes are described, for example, in the French patent applications published under Nos. 2,174,290 and 2,245,807, in which a polysiloxane type product is used.
Ces procédés nécessitent, pour la pulvérisation du produit, la mise en oeuvre d'installations complémentaires utilisées lors de la fabrication du nontissé et en continu avec cette dernière, ou après la fabrication de ce dernier ultérieurement, d'où complications et coûts supplémentaires de manipulation.These processes require, for the spraying of the product, the implementation of additional installations used during the manufacture of the nonwoven and continuously with the latter, or after the manufacture of the latter subsequently, hence complications and additional handling costs. .
La présente invention a pour objet de proposer un procédé de fabrication, présentant une réponse simple, économique au problème posé du maintien des qualités des nontissés lors de leur pénétration par des aiguilles lors du piquage des poils.The object of the present invention is to propose a manufacturing process, presenting a simple, economical answer to the problem posed of maintaining the qualities of the nonwovens during their penetration by needles during the stitching of the hairs.
La présente invention a pour objet des nontissés de filaments continus synthétiques obtenus par extrusion de masse fondue caractérisés en ce qu'au moins 50 % des filaments contiennent de 0,1 à 3 %, de préférence de 0,5 à 1,5 %, d'un polyorganosiloxane introduit dans lesdits filaments lors de leur fabricatrion.The subject of the present invention is nonwovens of synthetic continuous filaments obtained by melt extrusion, characterized in that at least 50% of the filaments contain from 0.1 to 3%, preferably from 0.5 to 1.5%, of a polyorganosiloxane introduced into said filaments during their manufacture.
La présente invention a aussi pour objet un procédé de fabrication des nontissés ci-dessus caractérisé en ce que, avant l'extrusion de la masse fondue de polymère pour la réalisation de filaments par passage au travers des orifices d'une filière, on introduit une huile silicone type polyorganosiloxane dans la proportion de 0,1 à 3 %, de préférence de 0,5 à 1,5 % par rapport au polymère, dans la masse fondue de celui-ci et pour seulement 50 % au moins de celle-ci.The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing the above nonwovens, characterized in that, before the extrusion of the polymer melt for the production of filaments by passing through the orifices of a die, a polyorganosiloxane type silicone oil in the proportion of 0.1 to 3%, preferably 0.5 to 1.5% relative to the polymer, in the molten mass thereof and for only at least 50% thereof .
La présente invention a aussi pour objet l'utilisation de nontissés ainsi obtenus pour les applications habituelles et plus particulièrement comme fond de revêtements de sol à poils piqués.The present invention also relates to the use of nonwovens thus obtained for the usual applications and more particularly as the background of floor coverings with pitted hairs.
Les filaments peuvent être en tout polymère, copolymères ou mélanges de polymères synthétiques tels que ceux à base de polyester, polyoléfine, polyamide. Il est bien évident que les polymères peuvent être utilisés seuls ou à plusieurs pour la réalisation de filaments bilames type âme-gaine ou côte/côte. On peut aussi utiliser des polymères de même nature chimique mais de présentation différente : ainsi les polyesters tels que polyétéréphtalate d'éthylène glycol et de butylène glycol, les polyamides type polyhexaméthylène adipamide ou polycaprolactame, les polyoléfines telles que polyéthylène ou polypropylène ; dans la présente invention il sera plus particulièrement question d'utilisation de polymères à base de polyester.The filaments can be of any polymer, copolymers or blends of synthetic polymers such as those based on polyester, polyolefin, polyamide. It is obvious that the polymers can be used alone or with others for the production of bimetallic filaments of the core-sheath or side / side type. It is also possible to use polymers of the same chemical nature but of different presentation: thus polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate of butylene glycol, polyamides such as polyhexamethylene adipamide or polycaprolactam, polyolefins such as polyethylene or polypropylene; in the present invention it will be more particularly a question of the use of polymers based on polyester.
Le polyorganosiloxane utilisé est de préférence choisi parmi des huiles type polydiorganosiloxanes et, de préférence, des polydiméthylsiloxanes de poids moléculaires de 1000 à 250.000 et situés de préférence entre 7.500 et 70.000 correspondant à des viscosités dynamiques respectives de 50 à 10.000 mPa.s. Ces huiles sont des polydiméthylsiloxanes non fonctionnalisés. Elles sont stables chimiquement et thermiquement aux températures de fusion/filage du polymère. Le taux d'introduction d'huile silicone par rapport au polymère peut varier entre 0,1 et 3 %, préférentiellement 0,5 à 1,5 %.The polyorganosiloxane used is preferably chosen from oils such as polydiorganosiloxanes and, preferably, polydimethylsiloxanes with molecular weights from 1000 to 250,000 and preferably located between 7,500 and 70,000 corresponding to respective dynamic viscosities of 50 to 10,000 mPa.s. These oils are non-functionalized polydimethylsiloxanes. They are chemically and thermally stable at the melting / spinning temperatures of the polymer. The rate of introduction of silicone oil relative to the polymer can vary between 0.1 and 3%, preferably 0.5 to 1.5%.
Il a été constaté que les quantités de produit introduites dans la masse fondue ne perturbent pratiquement pas les conditions d'extrusion, de transfert, de filage et d'étirage des filaments ; le passage de la masse fondue au travers des orifices de filières s'en trouvant facilité du fait de cette sorte de lubrifications apportée par le produit contenu dans la masse fondue, dont une partie exsude ensuite en surface des filaments formant une pellicule stable.It has been found that the quantities of product introduced into the melt do not practically disturb the conditions of extrusion, transfer, spinning and drawing of the filaments; the passage of the melt through the die orifices being thereby facilitated by this kind of lubrication provided by the product contained in the melt, part of which then exudes on the surface of the filaments forming a stable film.
L'incorporation du produit dans le polymère peut être effectuée avant ou pendant la phase de séchage du polymère (procédé discontinu dans lequel on part de polymères sous forme de "granulés" et qu'il est nécessaire de conditionner avant emploi) par enrobage ou par injection, ou bien au cours ou après la fusion du polymère dans le corps ou le nez de l'extrudeuse, en général dans toute zone de transfert du polymère fondu avant sa transformation en filaments.The incorporation of the product into the polymer can be carried out before or during the polymer drying phase (discontinuous process in which one starts from polymers in the form of "granules" and which it is necessary to condition before use) by coating or by injection, or during or after the polymer melts in the body or the nose of the extruder, in general in any transfer zone of the molten polymer before its transformation into filaments.
On peut effectuer l'introduction du produit dans la veine de polymère alimentant l'extrudeuse par l'intermédiaire d'une pompe doseuse volumétrique. Un dosage massique est, bien entendu, tout à fait applicable à l'opération.The product can be introduced into the polymer stream feeding the extruder by means of a volumetric dosing pump. A mass dosage is, of course, entirely applicable to the operation.
Le procédé utilisé pour la réalisation des nontissés de filaments continus est de type connu ; on peut par exemple utiliser celui décrit dans les brevets français publiés sous les n° 1 601 049 ou n° 2 299.438 de la demanderesse, la liaison de la nappe étant effectuée par aiguilletage ou thermoliaison avec ou sans résine.The process used for the production of nonwovens of continuous filaments is of known type; one can for example use that described in the French patents published under No. 1,601,049 or No. 2,299,438 of the Applicant, the bonding of the sheet being effected by needling or thermobinding with or without resin.
Le produit peut être introduit dans la totalité du ou des polymères utilisés ou uniquement dans une partie de ces derniers, la conservation des propriétés recherchées quant à la stabilité du nontissé et sa facilité de pénétration par des aiguilles étant réalisée avec au moins 50 % des filaments contenant le produit. C'est ainsi que l'on peut extruder deux polymères différents sous forme de filaments séparés ou bilame ainsi que mentionné précédemment, une partie des filaments dans le premier cas ou une lame seule dans le deuxième cas contenant le produit.The product can be introduced into the whole of the polymer or polymers used or only in a part of the latter, the preservation of the desired properties as regards the stability of the nonwoven and its ease of penetration by needles being carried out with at least 50% of the filaments containing the product. Thus it is possible to extrude two different polymers in the form of separate filaments or bimetal strips as mentioned previously, a part of the filaments in the first case or a single blade in the second case containing the product.
pour la réalisation de la présente invention, on utilisera de préférence les nontissés décrits dans le brevet français publié sous le n° 2 546 537 de la demanderesse dans lequel on utilise deux polymères à base de polyester : le polytéréphtalate d'éthylène glycol et le polytéréphtalate de butylène glycol.for carrying out the present invention, the nonwovens described in the French patent published under No. 2,546,537 of the applicant, in which two polymers based on polyester are used: polyethylene terephthalate polyterephthalate and polyterephthalate are preferably used butylene glycol.
Les nontissés de la présente invention sont utilisés pour toutes les applications habituelles textiles ou techniques des nontissés soit seuls, soit principalement comme support de nontissés à poils piqués. Ils peuvent être associés à d'autres nontissés et, éventuellement, renforcés de fils parallèles entre eux, dans le sens longueur de préférence ; ils peuvent être soumis à toute manipulation de gaufrage, formage, moulage, imprégnation, enduction, etc ...The nonwovens of the present invention are used for all the usual textile or technical applications of nonwovens either alone or mainly as a support for nonwovens with stitched pile. They can be associated with other nonwovens and, possibly, reinforced with threads parallel to each other, preferably in the length direction; they can be subjected to any manipulation of embossing, forming, molding, impregnation, coating, etc ...
Les différents tests dont description ci-après sont utilisés pour différencier les nontissés de l'invention, des nontissés ne contenant pas de produit dans la masse des filaments.The various tests of which description below are used to differentiate the nonwovens of the invention from nonwovens containing no product in the mass of the filaments.
La mesure de force de pénétration d'une rangée d'aiguilles de tufting dans la nappe consolidée par thermoliaison est réalisée de la manière suivante :The penetration force measurement of a row of tufting needles in the sheet consolidated by thermobinding is carried out as follows:
3 barrettes d'aiguilles de tufting SINGER n° série 82.753 comportant chacune 12 aiguilles sont soudées côte à côte sur une même ligne en formant une rangée d'aiguilles de 9 cm de largeur. Cet ensemble est fixé sur le mors mobile d'un dynamomètre et pénètre (à la vitesse de 1000 m/min) dans la surface nontissée fixée tendue sur un dispositif approprié perpendiculairement au mouvement des aiguilles.3 strips of SINGER tufting needles serial number 82.753 each comprising 12 needles are welded side by side on the same line forming a row of needles 9 cm wide. This assembly is fixed on the mobile jaw of a dynamometer and penetrates (at the speed of 1000 m / min) into the fixed nonwoven surface stretched on a suitable device perpendicular to the movement of the needles.
Le test est effectué sur machine SINGER-COBBLE avec aiguilles jauge 1/10", en utilisant comme fil de poil un fil continu multifilamentaire frisé 1100 dtex/88 brins torsion Z 150 x 2S 150 45, serrage 40 points.The test is carried out on a SINGER-COBBLE machine with 1/10 "gauge needles, using a continuous multifilament crimped 1100 dtex / 88 twist strand Z 150 x 2S 150 45, 40 points tightening, as a pile thread.
Par éthoxylation et chromatographie en phase gazeuse : attaque en milieu alcalin du nontissé. Cette méthode permet d'individualiser chaque atome de silicone en lui conservant son environnement chimique initial. On fait ensuite l'analyse par chromatographie en phase gazeuse.By ethoxylation and gas chromatography: attack in an alkaline medium of the nonwoven. This method makes it possible to individualize each atom of silicone while preserving its initial chemical environment. The analysis is then carried out by gas chromatography.
Par extraction à 30°C par du cyclohexane, puis pesée du résidu après évaporation du solvant. On effectue ensuite le dosage du silicone dans cet extrait correspondant aux divers produits se trouvant à la surface du filament, principalement silicone et oligomères.By extraction at 30 ° C with cyclohexane, then weighing the residue after evaporation of the solvent. The silicone is then measured in this extract corresponding to the various products found on the surface of the filament, mainly silicone and oligomers.
Les exemples suivants illustrent la présente invention sans la limiter :The following examples illustrate the present invention without limiting it:
Ainsi que décrit dans le brevet français de la demanderesse, publié sous le n° 2.546.537, on réalise une nappe nontissée de 120g/m² de filaments continus contenant 2 types de filaments polyéthylène glycol (2GT) (85% ) et polybutylène glycol (4 GT) (15 %), de titres respectifs 6 et 4 dtex, en utilisant pour la dépose des filaments le procédé travelling objet du brevet français publié sous le n° 2.299.438 de la demanderesse.As described in the applicant's French patent, published under No. 2,546,537, a nonwoven web of 120 g / m² of continuous filaments is produced, containing 2 types of polyethylene glycol (2GT) (85%) and polybutylene glycol ( 4 GT) (15%), of respective titles 6 and 4 dtex, using for the depositing of the filaments the traveling method object of the French patent published under n ° 2.299.438 of the plaintiff.
On a introduit par pompe doseuse, en amont de la boudineuse 2GT, 1 % d'huile silicone RHODORSIL 47 V 350 (polydiméthylsiloxane de viscosité 350 mPa.s. par rapport au poids des granulés de (2GT) de la Société RHONE POULENC.Was introduced by metering pump, upstream of the extruder 2GT, 1% of silicone oil RHODORSIL 47 V 350 (polydimethylsiloxane of viscosity 350 mPa.s. relative to the weight of the granules of (2GT) from the company RHONE POULENC.
La nappe est aiguilletée sur aiguilleteuse simple frappe à raison de 50 perforations/cm² avec des aiguilles SINGER de jauge 40 Rb 15 mm de pénétration.The tablecloth is needled on a single impact needle-punching machine at the rate of 50 perforations / cm² with SINGER needles of 40 Rb gauge 15 mm of penetration.
La nappe est ensuite thermoliée par passage en "S" sur une calandre avec deux rouleaux chauffants à 230°C, la force pressante entre les rouleaux est de 12 daN/cm et le temps de contact total de la nappe sur les rouleaux chauds est de 9 secondes, puis refroidie et enroulée.The sheet is then thermobonded by passing in "S" on a calender with two heating rollers at 230 ° C, the pressing force between the rolls is 12 daN / cm and the total contact time of the sheet on the hot rolls is 9 seconds, then cooled and rolled up.
Le dosage de l'huile silicone ayant exsudé en surface des filaments donne un taux de silicone de 0,05 % par rapport au poids de la nappe. La quantité de silicone par rapport au poids de la nappe étant de 1 %. La force de pénétration des aiguilles est, selon le test de laboratoire, de 23,6 daN pour la nappe sans silicone et de 15,7 % daN pour la nappe obtenue tel que ci-dessus indiquant, sans ambiguité, l'écart des forces de pénétration et l'avantage d'emploi du produit silicone.The dosage of silicone oil which has exuded on the surface of the filaments gives a silicone content of 0.05% relative to the weight of the sheet. The amount of silicone relative to the weight of the sheet being 1%. The penetration force of the needles is, according to the laboratory test, 23.6 daN for the sheet without silicone and 15.7% daN for the sheet obtained as above indicating, without ambiguity, the difference in forces penetration and the advantage of using the silicone product.
Sur machine à tufter le passage de la nappe sans silicone est impossible : casse de filaments, détérioration totale du support après déchirure alors que la nappe siliconée conduit à un tuftage excellent.On a tufting machine, the passage of the silicone-free tablecloth is impossible: breakage of filaments, total deterioration of the support after tearing while the silicone tablecloth leads to excellent tufting.
Des essais ont été réalisés selon les méthodes antérieures par foulardage plein bain dans une dispersion aqueuse de silicone de façon à avoir un dépôt sec de 0,5 % de silicone par rapport au poids du nontissé : les résultats sont du même ordre que ceux obtenus avec la nappe contenant un produit silicone dans la masse. L'économie du procédé plaide toutefois en faveur de la présente invention.Tests were carried out according to the previous methods by full bath padding in an aqueous dispersion of silicone so as to have a dry deposit of 0.5% of silicone relative to the weight of the nonwoven: the results are of the same order as those obtained with the tablecloth containing a bulk silicone product. The economy of the process, however, argues in favor of the present invention.
Le tapis tufté présente des propriétés mécaniques et une stabilité suffisante pour être transformé, après enduction de bitume sur l'envers, en dalles pour revêtement de sol.The tufted carpet has mechanical properties and sufficient stability to be transformed, after coating bitumen on the back, into tiles for flooring.
On réalise, par le procédé indiqué dans l'exemple 1, une nappe nontissée de 120 g/cm² de filaments continus de polytéréphtalate d'éthylène glycol de titre 7 dtex en ayant pris soin d'introduire dans le polymère 0,5 % d'huile silicone (polydiméthylsiloxane de viscosité 1000 mPa.s) par rapport au poids de polymère.A nonwoven web of 120 g / cm² of continuous filaments of polyethylene terephthalate of title 7 dtex filament is produced, by the process indicated in example 1, taking care to introduce into the polymer 0.5% of silicone oil (polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of 1000 mPa.s) relative to the weight of the polymer.
La nappe est ensuite aiguilletée avec des aiguilles 40 RB de SINGER à raison de 80 perforations/cm² et 13 mm de pénétration sur 1 seule face.The tablecloth is then needled with 40 RB needles from SINGER at the rate of 80 perforations / cm² and 13 mm of penetration on only one side.
On procède ensuite à un traitement thermique par calandrage à chaud entre 2 rouleaux chauffés à une température de 235°C avec une force pressante de 25 daN/cm et une durée de contact de 8 secondes.A heat treatment is then carried out by hot calendering between 2 rollers heated to a temperature of 235 ° C. with a pressing force of 25 daN / cm and a contact time of 8 seconds.
Ce support se tufte sans aucun problème et présente toutes les propriétés requises de solidité et de déformabilité pour la réalisation d'un tapis de sol moulable pour automobile.This support can be tuffed without any problem and has all the required properties of solidity and deformability for the production of a moldable floor mat for cars.
On réalise, par le procédé indiqué dans l'exemple 1 une nappe nontissée de 115 g/m² de filaments continus contenant 2 types de filaments 2GT 88 % et 4GT 12 % de titres respectifs 9 et 5 dtex.A nonwoven web of 115 g / m² of continuous filaments containing 2 types of filaments 2GT 88% and 4GT 12% of respective titles 9 and 5 dtex is produced by the method indicated in Example 1.
On a introduit, par pompe doseuse, en avant de la boudineuse 2GT 1,5% d'huile silicone RHODORSIL 47V2000 (polydiméthylsiloxane de viscosité 2000 mPa.s) par rapport au poids de granulés de 2GT.Was introduced by metering pump, in front of the extruder 2GT 1.5% RHODORSIL 47V2000 silicone oil (polydimethylsiloxane with viscosity 2000 mPa.s) relative to the weight of 2GT granules.
La nappe est aiguilletée sur aiguilleteuse simple frappe à raison de 60 perforations au cm² avec des aiguilles SINGER de jauge 40 Rb avec une profondeur de pénétration de 14 mm. La nappe est ensuite thermoliée par passage sur un tambour perforé à air traversant à une température de 242°C avec un temps de contact de 15 secondes puis calibrée à l'aide d'une calandre à rouleaux métalliques chauffant à 230°C, d'écartement entre rouleaux préréglés de manière à régler la densité de la nappe thermoliée à 0,19 c'est-à-dire une épaisseur 0,6 mm. Cette nappe présente toutes les propriétés de tuftabilité, de propriétés mécaniques et de stabilité dimensionnelle pour faire un support de revêtement de sol à poils piqués en lé et pouvant être imprimés avec des motifs raccordables d'un lé à l'autre.The tablecloth is needled on a single stroke needle-punching machine at the rate of 60 perforations per cm² with SINGER needles of 40 Rb gauge with a penetration depth of 14 mm. The sheet is then thermobonded by passing over a perforated air-passing drum at a temperature of 242 ° C with a contact time of 15 seconds and then calibrated using a calender with metal rollers heating to 230 ° C, spacing between rollers preset so as to adjust the density of the thermobonded web to 0.19, that is to say a thickness of 0.6 mm. This ply has all the properties of tuftability, mechanical properties and dimensional stability to make a floor covering support with pile stitched in strip and capable of being printed with patterns connectable from one strip to another.
On réalise, par le procédé indiqué dans l'exemple 1 une nappe nontissée composée de filaments continus de 125 g/m² constituée de filaments coaxiaux dont l'âme est en polytéréphtalate d'éthylène glycol et la gaine en polytéréphtalate de butylène glycol.A nonwoven web is produced, by the process indicated in Example 1, composed of continuous filaments of 125 g / m² consisting of coaxial filaments whose core is made of polyethylene terephthalate and the sheath made of polybutylene glycol terephthalate.
L'âme représente 80 % de la masse du filament coaxial et la gaine 20%.The core represents 80% of the mass of the coaxial filament and the sheath 20%.
On aura pris soin d'introduire dans le polymère 4GT constituant la gaine, et ceci au nez de l'extrudeuse par le moyen d'un dispositif de dosage volumétrique, 0,8 % d'une huile silicone 47V1200 (polydiméthylsiloxane de viscosité 1200 mPa.s) par rapport au poids de polyester.Care has been taken to introduce into the polymer 4GT constituting the sheath, and this at the nose of the extruder by means of a volumetric metering device, 0.8% of a 47V1200 silicone oil (polydimethylsiloxane of viscosity 1200 mPa .s) relative to the weight of polyester.
Le titre des filaments coextrudés est de 10 dtex.The titer of the coextruded filaments is 10 dtex.
On consolidera ensuite la nappe nontissée dans les conditions de l'exemple 3.The nonwoven web is then consolidated under the conditions of Example 3.
Le support thermolié ainsi obtenu aura toutes les propriétés de présentations, de performances mécaniques, de tuftabilité et de stabilité nécessaires pour la réalisation d'un tapis velours présenté sous forme de dalles.The thermally bonded support thus obtained will have all the properties of presentation, mechanical performance, tuftability and stability necessary for the production of a velvet carpet presented in the form of tiles.
