Abstract

PROCEDIMIENTO PARA REFORZAR VELLONES DE FIBRAS NATURALES Y SINTETICAS. CONSISTE EN LA IMPREGNACION DEL VELLON CON UNA DISPERSION ACUOSA DE UN COPOLIMERIZADO AMIDICO QUE CONTIENE UNIDADES RECURRENTES DE FORMULA (I), EN LA QUE R PUEDE SER HIDROGENO O METILO, SEGUIDA DEL EXPRIMIDO DE LA DISPERSION Y SECADO Y TEMPLE DEL VELLON A TEMPERATURAS COMPRENDIDAS ENTRE 100 Y 200G. EL COPOLIMERIZADO PUEDE ESTAR CONSTITUIDO, ADEMAS, POR MONOMEROS DE ESTIRENO, ACRILONITRILO, BUTADIENO, ESTERES DE ACIDO ACRILICO O METACRILICO, ESTERES VINILICOS O ACIDOS CARBOXILICOS. ESTOS ADHESIVOS TIENEN APLICACIONES PARA IMPREGNACION Y RECUBRIMIENTO EN LA INDUSTRIA TEXTIL. *FORMULA*
