In said tufted product the nap comprises 70-95, preferably 80 weight per cent animal wool and 5-30, preferably 20 weight per cent synthetic fibers, such as fibers of acryl, fluorocarbons, polyacetales, polyamides, polyesters, polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polyurethanes and similar fibers being relatively fire inhibiting, the primary support fabric material consists of fibers which per se has a high ignition point, and the rubber layer has been selected from the group of washable rubbers not being fire supporting and which preferably also are resistant against oils, gasoline, acids and bases.

Description

Tufted Carpet or Mat Product.
The present invention relates to a tufted carpet or mat product comprising a primary support fabric having an underside ard an upper side, a layer of rubber syn- thetic rubber which has been adhered, e.c. by vulcaniza- ion, to tne underside ot the primary support fabric, and yarn nops extending through the primary support fabric for zorring of a nap on te upper side o the primary support fabric and for forming nap op bottom parts between the rubber layer and the primary support fabric.
For a long time it has been known for mats and carpets to use a nap of inflammable natural fibres, such as cotton fibres, and it is also known to use synthetic polymeric inflammable fibres, such as cellulose fibres, acrylic fibres, polyester fibers, nylon fibers and polypropylene fibres for the manufacture of nap materials.
Attempts have been made in order to make such nap materials less inflammable or self-extinguIshing, however, witn no appreciable success. Although the treatment with the known fire inhibiting agents are reducing the inflamma ability, the treated mats and carpets expose certain undesired properties, such as the emission of unfavourable vapours by intense heat. The most undesired effect is, however, that said fire inhibiting agents are removed from he mats or carpets in question, en said carpets or mats are exposed to washing procedures, and this involves further finishing treatment of the mats or carpets after the washing operation.In this connection it should be mentioned that the receivers of such washed mats or carpets do not have any visible guarantee for the products having been impregnated with fire inhibiting agents. Unfortunately, this does not appear until the product in question has been exposed to a fire test or a fire accident. Consequently, on places where a fire could have disastrous consequences, it should be avoided to use mats and carpets, the fire in hibiting properties of which are only based on fire inhibiting impregnation agents, since promises on the presence of such agents may cause a false feeling of security.
Consequently, it is the purpose of the present invention to provide a new tufted carpet or rat product which is not provided with fiame and fire inhibiting chemi- a 5 in the nap, b which er se is self-extingishing and can pass the socalled California firetest, and :-:hlch also fulfill the conditions for ei called a washable dirt and liquid binding serice product of the carte or rat type for floor covering.
Said purpose is achieved with a tufted carpet or mat product according to the invention, wherein the nap comprises 70-95, preferably 80 weight per cent animal wool, and 5-30, preferably 20 weight per cent synthetic fibres, sucn as fibres of acryl, fluorocarbons, polyacetales, polyamides, polyesters, polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polyurethanes and similar fibers being relatively fire inhibiting, and the material of the primary support fabric consists of fibers which per se have 5 high ignition point, and the rubber layer is selected from the group of washable rubbers not being flame supporting and which preferably also are resistent against oils, gasoline, acids and bases.
Thereby it has surprisingly turned out that for mat and carpet products a hitherto unknown self-extinguishing or fire inhibiting effect may be obtained when using a hither- to unknown combination of otherwise well cn and often used materials.
A mat according to the invention has turned out to pass the mentioned California fire test IN ACC W.FAR 25.853 (b), and furthermore it turned out that a carpet or a mat according to the invention in spite of the large quantity of animal wool is water and dirt binding, and said properties are maintained even after several washing processes of the mat with Intermediate periods of use where the mat was laid cn heavily trafficed locations. The carpet or mat manufactured according to the invention is therefore well suited as water and dirt binding floor covering material in areas, such as escape ways, where it is very important that such floor covering materials do not promote the spreading of tire.
Ore c-f the reasons or not earlier ra-in' use animal eol for water ano cirt dinting floor covering aterials is presumably the inherent capability of the wool to reject water and dirt. However, by composing the wool of animal wool and not-flame-promoting synthetic fibres in a weight share of from 2,3:1 to l:i, preferably 5:1, it has as mentioned above turned out that a floor covering material is achieved which beyond being fire inhibiting also is washable and dirt and water binding.
The primary support fabric material preferably comprises a layer of woven or non-woven fiber having an area weight o trom 90 to 130, preferably 110 g/square meter, selected from the group of fibers which are fire inhibiting, such as acryl, fluorocarbons, polyacrylates, polyamides, polyesters, polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polyurethanes etc.
The primary support fabric and the part of the nap, viz. the nap flop bottom parts, which e.g. by a needle technique are needled through the primary support fabric, are in a preferred embodiment partly vulcanized into the layer of natural or synthetic rubber.
The rubber layer is in a referred enhodiren. of the kind being fire inhibiting and resistent against acids, bases, gasoline ana mineral oils, at least to the same extent as nitrile butadiene rubber.
The rubber layer is in a preferred embodiment selected from the group of rubbers consisting of nitrile butadiene rubbers, butadiene acryl nitriles, polychlorophrenes, chrlorosulphonated polyethylenes, ethylene/acryl elastomers, perfluoroelastomers, fluoroelastomers, polye sterelasiomers, urethane rubbers and polysiloxane polymers.
The carpet or mat product according to the in Invention is ell suited as floor covering material on escape ways in hotels and means of transportation, such as aircrafts, ships, trains and buses, partly because the product has passed the above fire test, and partly because the material is washable after use and dirt and water binding during use.
As an example of a carpet or mat product accor- di to he inventIon may re mentioned a product, the nap of which is composed of 70 % wool and 30% 80/20 polyamide or nylon, said nap by a needle technique has been tufted into primary support fabric of polypropylene having an area eight of 110 g/square meter, whereupon the primary support fabric -iith the nap was partly vulcanized into a bottom of fire inhibiting washable rubber on nitrile basis. Said product passed said fire test without containing any flame or fire inhibiting additives in the nap, and it had a high dirt and water binding ability during use and was washable several times with a great number of intermediate periods of use.
