Definitions

  • One object of the invention is to produce a porous, air-permeable, flexible sheet material consisting of an open skeleton of fine, cardable, intermingled, polyposed fibers having substantially uniformly distributed there through small, filmy binder particles adhering to the fibers and cementing the fibers together at their crossing points without either completely encasing the fibers or filling the interstices therebetween. to any substantial extent.
  • Another object of the invention is to produce a thin, porous sheet material having a thickness of about 0.1 to about 3.5 mm.
  • Still another object of the invention is to produce a thin, porous sheet material having a light weight of from about 40 g. to about 1700 g. per square m.
  • a still further object of the invention is to produce a light, fibrous sheet material which is stabilized by relatively small, uniformly distributed binder particles located principally at the crossing points of the individual fibers and which contains relatively large proportions, such as from about 25% to about 75% by weight of fiber material.
  • Still a further object of the invention is to produce. a fibrous sheet material starting from very loose, light and thin fleeces which are made of fine, cardable, polyposed fibers and which have very little inherent stability, and stabilizing such fleeces by incorporation therein of about 33 /3 to 300 parts by weight of binder material per 100 parts by weight of fibers, said binder material being uniformly distributed throughout the fibrous skeleton in the form of small, filmy coating particles adhering to' the fibers, particularly at the crossing points between, adjacent fibers.
  • a particular object of the invention is to produce a sheet material which has a high absorptivity for water which may, if desired, be further increased with simultaneous strengthening of the sheet material by an aftertreatment with binder material as described in my United States patent application Serial No. 262,942, filed December 22, 1951, which is a continuation-in-part of my copending United States patent application Serial No. 102,424, filed June 30, 1949, now abandoned.
  • the light fleeces collapse or distintegrate com pletely under treatment with liquids and become deformed so that the interstices between the fibers are irregularly reduced and enlarged in size and maybe more or less filled with binder material, thus producing a thoroughly unsatisfactory product.
  • a porous, air-permeable, flexible sheet material is produced by a process which comprises the following essential steps:
  • a loose fleece is prepared of intermingled, polyposed, fine, cardable fibers, said fleece weighingabout 35 g. :to about 1000 g. per square m.
  • the loose fleece which has very little stability of its own, is next pre-treated to produce a light surface cohesion without appreciable reduction in the porosity of the sheet. This may be accomplished, for instance, by making the fleece at least at one surface thereof of fibers which can be given adhesive properties by suitable treatment.
  • thermoplastic fibers may be employed which are cohered by means 'of heat treatment or by spraying with acetone, or alginate fibers may be used which can be rendered cohesive by a treatment with soap solutions and drying.
  • the desired light surface cohesion of the fleece by application to one surface thereof of a first binding agent in a carrier liquid and drying of the fleece to effect stabilization of the binder by removal of the carrier liquid.
  • the surface impregnation is effected by treating the surface of the fleece to be stabilized with a binder liquid in the form of a light, stable foam, which may contain from about 9 to 13 volume parts of gas per volume part of liquid.
  • This pre-treatment of one surface gives to the fleece sufiicient stability to make it resistant to the physical stresses of the next following through impregnating step.
  • through impregnation is accomplished by pressing into the untreated surface of the fleece an aqueous binder material in the form of a stable, flowable foam under a pressure to effect a substantially complete and uniform penetration of the fleece with simultaneous destruction of part of the foam cells and preservation of numerous, relatively large interstices between the fibers.
  • a substantially uniform impregnation of a loose fiber fleece may be accomplished by pressing foam .into a fleece superficially pretreated on one surface through the pretreated surface, or into a fleece superficially pretreated on both surfaces through one or both of the pretreated surfaces, it has been found that a satisfactory penetration of an aqueous binder foam into a fleece through a surface pretreated with even minute quantities of binder material can frequently not be accomplished without difliculties.
  • the resistance ofiered by the pretreated surfaces to the penetration by the foam makes it necessary to use foams containing relatively small proportions of gas and which are made from liquid binder materials containing relatively small proportions of binder solids.
  • skeleton may" be compressed or condensed to an undesirable extent or even torn without being sufiiciently stabilized by binder particles precipitated at the crossing points of adjacent fibers.
  • the starting fleeces are superficially prestabilized on one surface only and the binder foam used for through-impregnation of the fleece is pressed into the fleece through the untreated surface thereof.
  • This procedure permits the use of foams having a relatively high gas content and containing a higher proportion of solid binder material to liquid carrier. It also makes possible the use of relatively low pressures for a complete penetration of the fleece without undesirable condensation of the fleece or elimination of most of the interstices between the fibers and without destruction of the thin, loose fiber fleece.
  • the sheet material After through impregnation, the sheet material is dried without pressure to remove the water from the finely distributed liquid particles formed by the partial destruction of the foam cells and from the remaining foam cells which are thus caused to collapse during the drying operation.
  • the foam As the foam is broken up, small filmy particles of binder material are deposited on the fibers and collect mainly at the crossing points between adjacent fibers where they find relatively large solid supports.
  • a stabilized sheet structure is obtained in which a fiber skeleton has uniformly distributed therethrough relatively small, filmy binder particles positioned mainly at the crossing points between adjacent fibers and cementing the adjacent fibers securely together with retention of numerous, relatively large interstices between the fibers.
  • Suitable fibers are, for instance, vegetable fibers, such as cotton, flax, ra-
  • Fibers such as horsehair, cows hair, coconut fibers, etc., which are too long or which have hard and smooth surfaces rendering them unsuitable for carding on ordinary carding machines, should not be present in the fiber fleeces forming the starting material according to the present invention because such fibers cannot be satisfactorily formed into webs or fleeces.
  • the fleeces may be prepared on conventional carding machines and by conventional procedures.
  • the fleece by laying upon one another several, e. g., from 2 to about 30 or more, thin webs of intermingled, polyposed fibers, each web having a thickness of about 0.1 to about 1.2 mm. and weighing about 5 g. to g. per square in.
  • adjacent webs are arranged at an angle to each other.
  • the superposed webs are subjected to pressure and elevated temperature to cause them to cohere and to effect an initial condensation of the multi-layer structure formed.
  • a slight longitudinal stretching by about 5 to 10% and a corresponding reduction in weight takes place during the formation of the multi-layer fleece.
  • binder materials which have been found useful for the purpose of the present invention are film-forming substances which are capable of being dispersed or emulsified in aqueous carriers.
  • Suitable binder materials are, for instance, natural rubber, new or reclaimed, the socalled synthetic rubbers, such as polybutadienestyrene,
  • thermoplastic synthetic resins such as the polyvinyl esters, the polyvinylidene esters, the polyacrylates, polystyrene and the like, or mixtures of such materials.
  • the binders are preferably used in the form of their aqueous emulsions or dispersions.
  • the aqueous binding agents which may contain about 14% to about 40% by weight of solid binder material, and to which up to about 60 parts by weight of a wetting agent per 100 parts by weight of binder solids may be added, are first converted into a stable, flowable foam containing, for instance, about 2-12 volumes of gas per volume of binder liquid.
  • a vulcanizing agent and, if desired, a vulcanization accelerator may be incorporated into the binder liquid before conversion thereof into a foam, and the binder in the fully impregnated sheet may be subjected to vulcanization without pressure during or after the drying of the foam impregnation.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates diagrammatically the various steps of the invention, as carried out in a continuous process
  • Fig. 2 shows, also diagrammatically, a detail of the apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1 on a larger scale.
  • Fig. 1, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are loose webs of fine, carded, fibers which are arranged in a plurality of intersecting directions, i. e., polyposed, the four webs being shown superposed upon one another to form a laminated structure.
  • the laminated structure 15 is passed between two heated rollers 16, 17 which condense the multi-layer element with slight longitudinal stretching into a continuous fleece 18.
  • the foam is uniformly spread on the upper surface of the fleece, without any substantial penetration into the fleece, by means i of a stationary doctor blade 23.
  • the fleece, now carrying on its surface a very fine layer of foam, is then passed into and through the drying chamber 24 where the collapsing foam solidifies to produce a light surface cohesion of the fleece without any appreciable reduction of its porosity.
  • the quantity of binder material adhering to the surface of the fleece may amount to about 4 to about 17 g. per square m.
  • the fleece After leaving the drying chamber 24, the fleece is passed over a guide roller 25 and then between two pressure rollers 26, 27. As seen in both figures, the fleece runs first over the pressure roller 26 with its pre-treated surface in contact with the surface of the roller, and then into the nip formed between the two rollers 26, 27.
  • a liquid binder such as a latex emulsion, containing about 14 to 40 parts by weight of solid binder, 100 parts by weight of latex and suitable'quantities of wetting agents, vulcanizing agents, vulcanization accelerators, foam stabilizers and anti-oxidants, is converted into a flowable foam, having approximately the consistency of a heavy cream and containing about 2 to 12 volume parts of gas per volume part of liquid, in a foam chamber 28.
  • the foam is passed through a conduit 29 into a foam-collecting trough'3l) from which it flows into the nip between the rollers 26, 27 upon the untreated surface of the fleece 18.
  • the fleece advances through the restricted passage between the rollers 26, 27 the foam is pressed into the fleece with a pressure causing substantially complete and uniform penetrationof the fleece by the foam and partial destruction of the foam cells.
  • Dependent upon the adjustment of the pressure rollers and the width of the constricted passage formed between thennthe quantity of solid binder incorporated into the fleece during this foam impregnation may vary from about 26 to-about 287 parts (solid weight) per 100 parts by weight of fibers. :Simultarreouslyythe thickness of the fleece is reduced, but numerous relatively large interstices are preserved between the fibers.
