United States Patent Ofiiice 3,116,163 RENDERENG POLYVHNYL ALCGHOL FIBERS C(JN- EARNING STRUCTURE CiEilLORllNE-FAST Cari-Ludwig Nottebohm and Robert Schahert, Weinheim der llergstrasse, and Wilhelm Biichsenstein, Schriesheim an der Eergstrasse, Germany, assignors to Firma Carl Freudenberg, Kommanditgesellschaft auf Alrtien, Weinheim an der Eergstrasse, Germany No Drawing. Filed Nov. 23, 1959, Ser. No. 854,616 Claims priority, application Germany Nov. 28, 1958 8 Qiaims. (ill. 117-140) This invention relates to a method of making chlorinefast sheet structures containing polyvinyl-alcohol fibers.
lany methods for the production of non-woven sheet structures from fibers are known and are in technical use. It is essential thereby that the single fibers adhere sufilciently to one another, which can be brought about by diiierent methods. One of them consists in the use of swellable fibers on the basis or" e.g. polyvinyl alcohol per se or in combination with other common non-swellable fibers.
The sheet structures made in this way are not, however, resistant to boiling and chlorine-releasing bleaching agents since the polyvinyl alcohol fibers dissolve in hot water.
it has now surprisingly been found that polyvinyl alcohol containing structures can be made resistant to washing, boiling and chlorine-releasing bleaching agents by after-impregnating non woven sheet material containing polyvinyl alcohol fibersthe former being made according to any of the known methods-with a mixture of an aminopiast and a polymer containing active radicals, such as CN, COOH or NH Suitable aminoplasts are cg. di-methylol-thio-urea, dirnethylol-dihydroxy-ethylene-urea and trimethylolmelamine. Suitable -CN, -COOH or Nl-l containing polymers are methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, arcylonitrile, acryloamide and copolymers thereof.
When carrying out the present invention under the conditions of practice, the above named components are dissolved in a solvent such as water or alcohol. The solvent should be present in abundance, since concentrated solutions would change the character of the material to i be treated. It has been found that 15% solutions of the above mentioned compositions cause the desired effect Without impairing the appearance, hand, softness etc. of the starting fiber batt. The sheet material containing polyvinly alcohol fibers is then impregnated with said solution as described in the following examples.
Example 1 A fiber batt weighing 4-0 grams per square meter consisting of Percent Viscous rayon 90 Watersoluble polyvinyl alcohol fibers 10 is impregnated in a padding mangle with water until a wet pick up of 200 percent is reached, then dried in a felt calender and thereby stabilized.
This stabilized fibrous sheet material is then impregnated in a padding mangle with a solution consisting of Percent Water 97.9 Ammoniumoxalate (catalyst) 0.1
The impregnated sheet material is then squeezed off 3,llh,lh3 Patented Dec. 31, 1%53 pregnated with water in the same way as in Example 1, prestabilized in a felt-calender and then impregnated with a solution consisting of Percent Water 96.5 Trimetliylol-mclamine 1.5
Copolymer which consists of 50 parts by weight of methacrylic acid butylic ester, 15 parts by Weight of methacrylic acid methylester and 35 parts by Weight of methacrylic acid (commercially available as Plextol) The further steps are the same as in Example 1.
Example 3 A fiber batt made and prestabilized as described in Example 1 is impregnated with a solution consisting of Percent Methyl alcohol 97.9 Zinc chloride (catalyst) 0.1 Dimethylol-urea 1.0 Acrylic acid 1.0
The further steps are the same as in Example 1. The resulting non-woven fabric is not so soft as that of the preceding examples where the acrylic acid has been replaced by Perbunan or Plextol.
Example 4 A fiber batt made and prestabilized as described in Example 1 is impregnated with a solution consisting of 98.0 percent water 1.0 percent dimcthylol-dihydroxy-ethylene-urea 1.0 percent of a copolymer which consists of 70 percent methacrylic acid butylester, 20 percent acrylamide and 10 percent methacrylic acid methylester.
The acryloamide is partially methylated. (The copolymer is being sold as Acronal.)
The further steps are the same as in Example 1.
Example 5 A fiber batt made and prestabilized as described in Example 1 is impregnated with a solution consisting of 95.7 percent water 0.3 percent aluminum chloride 2.0 percent of a copolymer consisting of equal parts of methacryli-c butylester and acrylonitrile.
2.0 percent trimethylolmelamine The further steps are the same as in Example 1.
