Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of solidifying of fiber fleeces.
  • fleece fabrics which are also called nonwoven fabrics
  • binding agents By these binding agents it is brought about, that the individual fibers of the fleece fabric are connected together at their respective engagement points, whereby the entire fleece fabric is solidified.
  • the solvent can be converted into vapor either naturally without application of heat under normal atmospheric pressure at room temperature or artificially by the application of heat or lower pressure.
  • volatile swelling and solving agents respectively, in accordance with the definition given above, also mixtures of individual components can be used.
  • the fiber fleeces manufactured in accordance with the present invention have maximum porosity and complete preservation of their volume, and the natural fiber grip is retained to the greatest extent; the fleeces are resistant against all agents which do not attack the fibers themselves and can, therefore, upon proper selection of the fibers be chemically cleaned, washed and form-retained.
  • This method is applicable in principle to all types of fibers, suitable for the manufacture of fiber fleeces and for which solvents exist which correspond with the above mentioned criteria. There are particularly those which are, preferably, used as spinning solvents.
  • the method according to the present invention has been shown particularly advantageous for the manufacture of solidified fiber fleeces containing acrylic fibers, particularly polyacrylonitrile fibers, so that the method will be further explained below in relation with ths type of fibers.
  • DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide
  • DMSO is to be used suitably in mixtures with water.
  • a mixture of about 30 parts DMSO and 70 parts water has a solving capacity for polyacrylonitrile fibers corresponding with the above mentioned criteria and, furthermore, it is no more hygroscopic, so that it can be stored also in open containers for any chosen time period, without, thereby, changing the concentration of the mixture.
  • the fiber fleece treated with the mixture of DMSO and water in an atmosphere of an inert gas.
  • This atmosphere of inert gases can be obtained either by blowing an inert gas, as for example, carbondioxide, nitrogen or the like, into the heating chamber, or a liquid,non-combustible solvent can be admixed to the DMSO-water-mixture, which solvent evaporates in the heating chamber and provides there the atmosphere of inert gases.
  • an inert gas as for example, carbondioxide, nitrogen or the like
  • a liquid,non-combustible solvent can be admixed to the DMSO-water-mixture, which solvent evaporates in the heating chamber and provides there the atmosphere of inert gases.
  • solvents in particular methylene chloride has been found useful.
  • a mixture of about 30 parts DMSO, 70 parts Water and 10 parts methylene chloride has no more the danger of fire under the given conditions of procedure and moreover, is also better suitable in its other characteristics for the method of the present invention.
  • the methylene chloride is at first admixed to the pure DMSO, whereafter the methylene-chloride-DMSO-mixture is added to the water under stirring and strong cooling, since otherwise a homogeneous mixture and solution, respectively, of the three components almost cannot be obtained.
  • a method of solidifying of acryl fiber fleeces, particularly polyacrylonitrile comprising the steps of:
  • said solvent mixture comprises dimethyl sulfoxide as a solving component and water.
  • said acrylic fibers comprise polyacrylonitrile fibers.
  • said step of treating said fiber fleece is performed by spraying said solvent mixture into said fiber fleece to at least one side thereof.
  • said step of treating said fiber fleece is performed by pressing said solvent mixture in a foamy state into said fiber fleece.
  • said step of subjecting said fleece to a short shock-like heat treatment is performed by applying infrared radiation to said fleece.
  • said step of subjecting said fleece to a short shock-like heat treatment is performed by applying a high frequency field to said fleece.
  • said step of subjecting said fleece to a short shock-like heat treatment is performed in an atomsphere of an inert gas.
  • said inert gas comprises the vapor of a noncombustible solvent having a low boiling point.
  • said solvent mixture further includes methylene chloride.
  • said step of treating said fiber fleece is performed by spraying said solvent mixture and the latter comprising about 30 parts dimethyl sulfoxide, parts water and 10 parts methylene chloride.
  • said solvent mixture is prepared by first mixing said dimethyl sulfoxide with said methylene chloride and then adding water, and then stirring and cooling.
