Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new glass textile fabric which is aesthetically pleasing, exhibits high strength, yet is extremely lightweight.
  • the fabric is a woven glass textile fabric which finds particular applicability as a fabric for walls.
  • a method for producing a patterned glass fabric, especially suitable for wallpaper or similar materials having a fabric woven with glass fiber yarns.
  • the glass fiber yarn has a titer between 130 tex and 150 tex, and preferably between 139 and 142 tex, which is used for the warp.
  • the yarn is generally processed on a pattern controlled Jacquard loom.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide one with a new and improved glass textile fabric which is aesthetically pleasing, has good strength, but is also lightweight in nature to provide the soft touch and look desired.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a wall fabric exhibiting good strength, but which is also lightweight and aesthetically pleasing in nature.
  • the present invention provides a glass textile fabric which is aesthetically pleasing, exhibits high strength, yet is lightweight, thereby providing a soft touch and feel.
  • the textile is a woven glass and finds distinct applicability as a wall fabric.
  • the fabric is woven with a 60 to 80 tex yarn in the machine direction or warp, and a sliver is used as the weft or cross direction.
  • a sliver is used as the weft or cross direction.
  • Sliver which is a staple fiber strand, is used in the weft of the fabric of the present invention.
  • the manufacture of sliver is well known, and is described, for example, in Fiber Glass, by J. Gilbert Mohr and William P. Rowe, 1978, Van Nostrand Reinhold Company.
  • the sliver can be, and is preferably manufactured from C-glass or E-glass pellets. Such chemical glass or electronic glass compositions are well known.
  • Conventional production units for sliver are also known to the industry. Such production units have been developed, for example, by Schuller GmbH. FIG. 1 illustrates one such unit.
  • a hopper located on top of the sliver unit, contains the glass pellets.
  • a pellet feeder draws the required pellet volume, time and weight controlled, and distributes it evenly into a glass fiber bushing.
  • the bushing is comprised of an electrically heated trough made of precious metal. It is embedded in a set of heat resistant bricks and assembled on a frame. On the bottom of the trough, the bushing has numerous nozzle-like outlets called "tips" from which glass fibers are drawn.
  • the bushing is temperature response power controlled.
  • the solid glass pellets are transformed into liquid glass.
  • This glass penetrating through the outlets forms glass beads which in turn generate liquid glass fiber filaments.
  • the fibers are vaporized with fiber forming promoter fluid and are wound onto a spinning drum.
  • the glass drops are accelerated, broken from the filaments and disposed to the basement for recycling.
  • the spinning drum attenuates the fibers to the desired diameter.
  • the fibers adhere to the drum surface for less than one drum rotation and are then removed with a scraper blade. Good adhesion action firmly keeps the fibers on the drum surface. They are then released at the scraper blade edge.
  • the fibers are whirl-vortexed in a funnel, twisted (closed), removed and continuously wound on bobbins. Should fibers break, the fiber drawing process automatically restarts. Glass drops and heavy fibers are separated from the standard glass fibers and collected for recycling.
  • the dwelling time in the funnel is significantly abbreviated, for it has been discovered that especially evenness and uniform appearance are improved, thickness variation reduced and tensile increased by approximately 20% when the dwelling time in the funnel is significantly abbreviated. It is important to keep the drum speed - draw-off speed ratio as small a possible.
  • the glass yarn used in the machine direction, or warp of the textile fabric of the present invention is a 60 to 80 tex, air texturized yarn, more preferably a yarn with a titer between 65 and 75 tex, and most preferably about a 70 tex.
  • the yarn can be air texturized by using any conventional process for glass fibers. Suitable machines are available, such as the air texturizing machine from Dietze and Schell Corporation, Greenville, South Carolina. Air texturizing machine DS60 and DS60D are examples of suitable machines useful in texturizing glass yarns using various jet streams of air to accomplish the texturizing.
  • the machine can be supplied with glass yarn in various feedstock forms such as from flexible bobbins, spin cables and direct rovings.
  • This glass yarn used as the warp is a very fine yarn which has been air-texturized.
  • the sliver and air-texturized yarn are combined into the final textile product using any conventional loom, e.g., a Dobby loom, Jacquard loom, a weaving machine such as a Dornier weaving machine. Woven-in patterns are possible, if desired.
  • the textile product Once the textile product has been woven, it can be treated in conventional fashion to provide the final characteristics of the product. Chemical treatments of glass fabrics are known to finalize/adjust such characteristics as strength, volume, stability and opacity of the final textile product.
  • FIG. 2 depicts a process for applying a normal chemical treatment to a glass fabric, preferably, the glass fabric is a woven product from fiber glass yarn.
  • the weave is typically a simple pattern, of up to eight shafts.
  • the weave is produced, for example, on Dornier weaving machines, Reapiers or Air-Jets, in typically two or three meter widths for collecting on roll beams of typically 1,500-6,000 meters of untreated woven fiberglass fabric.
  • Preferred yarns in accordance with the present invention include, for the warp direction, continuous C-glass or E-glass of 60 to 80 tex, more preferably about 70 tex, which has been air-texturized.
  • the sliver as described above is used.
  • the glass fabric 1, preferred in roll form is fed to an impregnation bath, typically through rollers 3 and conventional conveyance means, to contact a bath of, for example, a soft touch chemical mixture, or alternatively, for example, a pick up roll may convey the same mixture to at least one of the glass fabric surfaces.
  • a preferred coating mixture consists of those components set out in Table 1 below.
  • double side rotary screens may be used to apply the chemicals to the glass fabric 1.
  • the chemical mixture is supplied to the interior of the two rotating screens and applied to the glass fabric by contact with the rotating screens.
  • Table 1 Starch Binder 10-70% of dry substance Latex Binder 20-80% of dry substance Inorganic Cross-Linker 0-10% of dry substance Pigments 10-30% of dry substance
  • starch binders can be used. Starch binder derived from potatoes or corn is preferred.
  • the soft latex binders are preferably based on vinyl acetate. However, other types of latex binders can also be used.
  • Inorganic crosslinkers are materials which may improve the effect of that mixture by stabilizing the chemical mixture upon application. Ammonium zirconium carbonate is preferred, but also other chemistries can be used.
  • the mixture is preferably water based, and has a dry substance percentage of between 5 and 20 weight percent, preferably between 10 and 20 weight percent in the chemical bath.
  • a dry substance percentage of between 5 and 20 weight percent, preferably between 10 and 20 weight percent in the chemical bath.
  • colored pigments can also be added or used to create colored fabrics as well.
  • the fabric may be conveyed to a drying means 4, which in the preferred embodiment of FIG. 2 is depicted as steam heated cylinders 5. After drying, the fabric is collected onto roll 6 and is usually cut into desired width. This first impregnation step adds additional volume, stability and opacity to the fabric.
  • a dispersion 14 can also be added to improve tear strength of the fabric 12.
  • 10-60g of the dispersion per square meter is sufficient to obtain an optimum adhesion strength combined with moderate tear forces.
  • the wanted tear force can be adjusted by the amount of the applied dispersion. It also depends on the type and structure of the used fabrics. The optimum adhesion strength is necessary to obtain the same wear resistance and the same fire resistance as standard glass fiber wall covering.
  • the fabric may be conveyed to a drying means 16, which in the preferred embodiment of FIG. 3, is depicted as air dryers. Alternatively, heated cylinders can be used without any drawbacks.
  • the fabric is then collected on roll 18.
