Fire retardant net structure made of textile waste}

The present invention relates to a flame retardant network structure manufactured by using waste fibers. The waste fiber sheet, which is obtained through a molding process after separating the waste fibers induced in the form of fabric, nonwoven fabric or fibers into individual fibers by a mechanical method. Flame retardant network structure prepared by adding reactive organic compound or resin solution and flame retardant by spraying, dipping or coating method and then drying to give shape stability and durability and then forming a film of flame retardant on individual waste fiber surface. It is.

With the development of various synthetic polymers, the development of manufacturing technology of artificial fibers, and the development of fashion design, mankind has begun to have a rich clothing culture. Recently, high-performance textile materials have been developed and applied to the construction, automotive, electrical and electronic industries. Artificial fiber materials are being used in various industries.

However, most artificial fibers except some aliphatic polyester fibers are not biodegradable and no effective recycling technology has been developed. Recently, environmental pollution caused by waste fibers has been seriously recognized. have.

US Pat. No. 4,546,128 discloses that it is possible to produce composite materials with excellent mechanical strength by mixing waste fibers generated in industrial sites and homes with thermoplastic resins and kneading them with heat. In addition, US Patent No. 6132840 introduces a member for railway manufactured by molding industrial wastes such as waste fibers, waste plastics, waste tires, waste paper, etc., by applying a pressure between 150 to 3,000 tons at a temperature between 150 and 300 ° C. In US Pat. No. 6,601,11, the waste fiber is made by controlling the moisture content to 40% or more without going through separate cutting and crushing process, and then the material manufactured by drying is excellent in absorbency and used as industrial absorbent or animal litter. Introduced as useful.

However, they are all just introducing new methods of using waste fibers, and most of the products cannot be expected of superior quality or industrial usefulness compared to existing products manufactured using new materials.

In addition, US Patent No. 607882 introduces a technique of mechanically decomposing waste fibers to form non-woven fabrics after mixing and recycling them, and US Patent No. 3978179 mixes thermoplastic resins with waste fibers to perform a binder role. The introduction of a technique that enables the manufacture of improved nonwovens is introduced. However, since most of the waste fibers exist in dyed form, the color of the nonwoven fabric produced is non-uniform, which cannot be used alone for clothing and building exterior materials, and in some areas, such as agricultural insulation coverings and automobile interiors, in which appearance is not important. It is just a technique that can be applied only to

Recently, researches to utilize waste fibers in the building industry for the purpose of reducing raw material costs have been actively conducted, and these studies are focused on the purpose of utilizing the thermal insulation and sound absorption of waste fiber materials.

U.S. Patent No. 6045298 introduces a technique for insulating waste fibers by spraying them between the walls of a building, and U.S. Pat.No. 40,5603 manufactures a plate by thermo-compressing thermoplastic waste artificial fibers, We introduce building panel made by bonding.

However, all products made of waste fibers inevitably coexist with various fibers such as cotton, polyester, acrylic, nylon, and fired after the synthetic fibers melted by heat evaporate. There is a problem that the risk is very high, which is not actively used as a building material. Accordingly, US Pat. No. 6,033,18 introduces a molding for a tile produced by adding polyvinyl chloride to a waste carpet and then molding the polyvinyl chloride at a melting point or higher. Polyvinyl chloride is a polymer material with an oxygen index of 45, which introduces the fact that it is excellent in flame retardancy when preparing a molded product by mixing it, thereby reducing the risk of a fire. However, since most of the manufactured products are made of polyvinyl chloride, it is inevitable to increase the manufacturing cost, so it is hard to find any advantages other than utilizing waste fiber, and there is a limit to increase the waste fiber content of the molded product. have.

As mentioned above, technologies for utilizing waste fibers have been developed in various ways such as plates, nonwoven fabrics, and fillings, and various products using fiber insulation and sound absorption have been developed. No flame retardant networks exist.

The present invention can provide the ripple effect of nature protection and resource saving by using waste fiber as a raw material, and use the material characteristics of waste fiber in irregular shape and size to maximize the material characteristics of randomly existing pores. Imposed at to maximize sound insulation and insulation and at the same time impregnated a flame retardant to provide a flame retardant network structure without the risk of fire.

The flame retardant network structure of the present invention is a hardener without distinguishing various kinds of waste fibers such as cellulose, protein, polyester, acrylic, nylon, polypropylene, and polyurethane fibers, which could not be achieved by conventional techniques. It is formed into a network structure and impregnated with a flame retardant in a liquid state by spraying, dipping, or coating. As a result, a relatively small amount of flame retardant is contained since the flame retardant forms a thin film on the outside of each waste fiber. At the same time, the company manufactures recycled network structures with excellent flame retardancy.

As such, the present invention proposes an advanced technology for providing a novel flame retardant network structure made by a new type of material composition and process design that has never been manufactured.
