Instance

The various embodiments of the invention can be better understood by reference to the following examples provided by the description. The invention is not limited to the embodiments presented herein.

 Example 1. Production of floor mats.  

The tape is formed using a conventional tape manufacturing machine (trade name "Rando Webber"). a blend of tape fibers formed comprising 75 weight percent of crimped polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") staple fibers (50 denier, 58 mm long) and 25 weight percent crimped Sheath nucleus melt-bonded polyester staple fiber (15 Danny, 58 mm long; core with polyethylene terephthalate and copolymer of ethylene terephthalate and ethylene isophthalate Sheath). The resulting strip was heated in a convection oven at 320 °F (160 °C) for about 3 minutes to fuse the melt-bondable fibers together at the intersection to form a pre-bonded strip. The pre-bonded strip weighs approximately 400 grams per square meter.

The sample of the pre-bonded strip is cut to a size of 1 x 7 inches in the cross-web direction (i.e., where the dimension of the length of its manufacture travels sideways across the strip rather than the length (down) -web)). The sample was immersed in the curable composition as described in Table 2, and then the sample was passed through a rubber roller to squeeze off the excess coating solution. The samples were dried in a convection lab oven at 350 °F (177 °C) for 15 minutes and then allowed to cool to room temperature before further testing to provide Sample 1 (AF), 2 (AF), 3 (AF), 4 (AF), and 5 (AF). Coating is performed such that the cured coating composition is about 130% by weight of the base fiber.

 Example 2. Amount of formaldehyde emission.  

The amount of formaldehyde emission of the sample produced in Example 1 was measured. The amount of emission is measured by reacting with 2,4 dinitrophenylhydrazine [DNPH] to form a corresponding enthalpy, which can be quickly and sensitively detected by liquid chromatography. A sample tube containing 2,4-DNPH impregnated silicone was placed in a volume of 44 mL of a heated microchamber device (Marks micro-chamber), which was coated after the non-woven sample was cured and ready for packaging. The non-woven sample is placed in the device for about 1 day to 1 week. The sample was heated to 65 ° C (150 ° F) for 30 minutes and the helium flow was passed through the sample chamber at 50 mL/min and into the collection tube. The collection tube was then cut open and desorbed using 5 mL of acetonitrile, and then the extraction solution was run by HPLC. The formaldehyde-DNPH content was determined from the standard calibration curve, and the formaldehyde concentration was calculated from the formaldehyde-DNPH result by multiplying the molecular weight ratio of formaldehyde to formaldehyde-DNPH (which is 30.03/210.15=0.143). The results are expressed in micrograms of formaldehyde per gram of the original sample.

To prepare the standard, 5.23 mg of formaldehyde-2,4-DNPH (from Supelco) was dissolved in 50 mL of acetonitrile. This stock solution was further diluted with acetonitrile to a series of standards ranging from 12.55 to 0.05 [mu]g/mL.

The above standards and sample extracts were analyzed by HPLC-UV. The instrument used was an Agilent 1100 HPLC using Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C8 150 mm x 4.6 mm column, medium size 5 μm, flow rate 0.5 mL/min, eluent A = H ₂ O + 0.1% phosphoric acid and elution Liquid B = acetonitrile, using 0min 50% B, 15min 100% B, 20min 1005 B gradient, and the post time is 5min, the temperature is 40 ° C, the injection volume is 5 microliters, and the detection using UV The wavelength is at 355 nm and the reference frame is at 550 nm.

The amount of formaldehyde released from gas (expressed in micrograms of formaldehyde per gram of coated sample) is given in Table 3, while Table 3b shows the amount of formaldehyde released from other flexible fibrous surface treatment articles. Figure 1 shows the amount of formaldehyde released from the sample from Table 3.

 Example 3. Physical properties at room temperature.

Table 6 describes the change in tensile modulus caused by the crosslinking agent (compared to the condition without crosslinking agent). Figure 3 depicts the tensile modulus of the sample at room temperature.

 Example 4. Physical properties under heating conditions.  

The maximum load and tensile modulus of the samples prepared in Example 1 were measured at a temperature of 150 °F (66 °C) after the samples had been heated at 150 °F (66 °C) for 5 minutes. The sample had a temperature of 150 °F (66 °C) at the time of testing. Follow the procedure described in Example 3.

The maximum load and tensile modulus of the heated sample are given in Table 7. Table 8 describes the change in maximum load caused by the crosslinker (compared to the condition without crosslinker). Figure 4 depicts the maximum load of the sample under heating conditions.

The maximum load and tensile modulus of the samples prepared in Example 1 were measured at room temperature after one hour of soaking (immersion) in a cleaning liquid (3M Twist N Fill General Purpose Cleaner No. 8). Follow the procedure described in Example 3.

The maximum load of the sample immersed in the cleaning liquid is given in Table 10. Table 11 describes the change in the maximum load caused by the crosslinking agent (compared to the condition without the crosslinking agent). Figure 6 depicts the maximum load of the sample after soaking in the cleaning liquid.
