Definitions

  • the invention relates to a scouring body, comprising a carrier material of a textile fabric and a method for its production.
  • Such scrubbing bodies are from the EP 0 696 432 A1 known.
  • the previously known scouring body is formed from a textile material based on natural or synthetic fibers.
  • a working surface of the scrubbing body has a relief pattern which has been produced by means of a hot deformation of the textile material.
  • the work surface also has zones that are covered with a scouring composition.
  • the production has a plurality of process steps.
  • a scouring body according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the document EP-A-0938862 known.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a scrubbing body, which is simple and inexpensive to produce and which has an improved cleaning effect in hard to reach places, such as corners and edges.
  • the scrubbing body comprises the technical features of claim 1.
  • a nonwoven fabric having a low basis weight and a small thickness By hydroentangling, a nonwoven fabric having a low basis weight and a small thickness can be provided.
  • a hydroentangled nonwoven fabric has a higher strength than, for example, a mechanically needled nonwoven fabric.
  • a scrubbing body made of such a nonwoven fabric has a high strength with a small thickness, whereby the scrubbing body is particularly well suited for cleaning hard to reach places.
  • the relief pattern improves the cleaning effect of the scrubbing body with firmly adhering dirt. The cleaning effect is further improved by the scouring agent composition applied to the cleaning surface.
  • the scrubbing cloth may only have a cleaning surface and a gripping surface, wherein the gripping surface is formed by the textile fabric.
  • a bonded by hydroentanglement nonwoven fabric has a pleasant, textile and soft touch.
  • the nonwoven fabric can be used directly as a grip surface.
  • the abrasive body then has a small thickness and is flexible, whereby the cleaning of hard to reach places is improved.
  • the scouring composition may consist of a binder and scouring particles.
  • the binder binds the scouring particles tightly.
  • a solution consisting of binders and scrubbing particles can be sprayed onto the textile fabric in a simple and cost-effective manner.
  • the binder of the scouring body is additionally solidified.
  • the binder may be phenolic resin based.
  • a phenolic resin-based binder has high hardness, high abrasion resistance.
  • the binder may be acrylate-based.
  • Acrylate-based binders have a pleasant feel.
  • the binder may consist of a mixture of acrylate and phenolic resin. The properties of both binder materials then influence the feel and hardness of the material.
  • the scouring particles can be formed by mineral and / or organic scouring particles.
  • mineral abrasives quartz, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, chalk or glass granules can be used as mineral abrasives.
  • Mineral abrasives are very durable and inexpensive. Mineral abrasives have a high hardness and therefore have a scratching scouring effect.
  • Non-mineral or organic abrasives are for example polyurethane, PMMA or nutshells.
  • Non-mineral or organic abrasives are easy to process and are also inexpensive.
  • the non-mineral or organic abrasives have a lower hardness than the mineral abrasives. Therefore, these abrasives have a non-scratching scouring action and are particularly suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces.
  • the relief pattern can be formed by a nub structure with circular nubs.
  • Circular knobs are simple geometric shapes that are easy to produce. It can be arranged a variety of surveys in the form of knobs on the cleaning surface. Continuous depressions, in which dirt can accumulate, are avoided with circular nubs.
  • the ratio of the thickness of the support material and the thickness of the abrasive composition may be between 1: 2 and 1:10, preferably 1: 5. This results in a thin scrubbing body with a high abrasive effect. The water absorption of the scrubbing body is low.
  • the scrubbing body may have a maximum thickness of 3 mm, preferably 1 mm. Such a scrubbing body has a small thickness with sufficient stability. Due to the small thickness, the scrubbing body is particularly suitable for cleaning hard to reach places and can be stored to save space.
  • the basis weight of the textile fabric may be between 50 and 200 g / m 2, preferably 150 g / m 2 .
  • a scrubbing body of such a fabric is lightweight and stable due to hydroentanglement.
  • the shaping of the relief pattern for example the circular, raised knobs and the solidification of the fiber material formed from the fiber material takes place in one step. This eliminates an additional process step as it would be required for example in the production of the knobs by hot deformation.
  • Mixing the abrasive composition with a binder prior to application allows for the replacement or removal of the scrubbing particles.
  • the application rate of the abrasive composition (6) is between 220 and 300 g / m 2 . It can be easily and inexpensively scouring body made with different compositions of binder and scouring particles.
  • the scrubbing body is used as a disposable scrubbing cloth.
  • the cleaning cloth is easy and inexpensive to produce and has a small footprint due to the small thickness. This makes it particularly advantageous for use as a disposable cleaning cloth.
  • FIG. 1 shows a scouring body 1 according to the invention.
  • the scouring body 1 consists of a carrier material 2 which has a cleaning surface 4 with a relief pattern 5.
  • the cleaning surface 4 is covered with a scouring agent composition 6.
  • the cleaning surface 4 remote from the side of the fabric 3 forms the gripping surface of the abrasive body 1.
  • the substrate 2 consists of a fabric 3, which in turn is formed from a hydroentangled nonwoven fabric.
  • the ratio of the thickness of the carrier material 2 and the thickness of the abrasive composition 6 is 1: 5, with a thickness of the abrasive body 1 of 1 mm.
  • the thickness of the scrubbing body is determined the thickness of the carrier body and the abrasive composition including the height of the nubs 10.
  • the basis weight of the fabric in this embodiment is 150 g / m 2 .
  • the scrubbing body 1 can be used as a disposable scrubbing cloth.
  • FIG. 2 shows the scouring body according to FIG. 1 in the plan view.
  • the relief pattern 5 is formed by circular knobs 10, wherein the circular knobs 10 are arranged hexagonally on the cleaning surface 4, resulting in a maximum number of knobs 10 per unit area.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section of the scrubbing body 1 according to the invention FIG. 1 and 2 ,
  • the scrubbing agent composition covering the cleaning surface 4 consists of a binder 8 and scouring particles 9 mixed with the binder 8.
  • the binder 8 may be phenolic resin-based or acrylate-based.
  • the scrubbing particles 9 may be formed from mineral or organic or a mixture of mineral and organic scrubbing particles 9.
  • a fibrous material 11 is used to produce a textile fabric 3, formed by a nonwoven fabric.
  • the solidification of the textile fabric 3 by means of a hydroentanglement.
  • the circular knobs 10 are therefore also produced by the hydroentanglement.
  • the scrubbing composition 6 is prepared by mixing a binder 8, for example a phenolic resin-based or acrylate-based binder 8, with scrubbing particles 9, for example mineral or organic scrubbing particles 9.
  • the scouring composition 6 becomes applied by spraying on the cleaning surface 4.
  • the scrubber body 1 may be heat treated to cure the scouring composition in an oven.
