20130219635 | PRODUCTION OF DYED COTTON FIBERS - In a method of dyeing and finishing cotton fibers, emulsion copolymer treated cotton fibers are prepared by contacting the fibers with an emulsion copolymer and curing the copolymer under conditions to chemically anchor the emulsion copolymer to the cotton and thereby form copolymer-treated cotton fibers. The copolymer-treated cotton fibers are then contacted with a dye material under conditions sufficient to affix at least a portion of the dye material to the copolymer component of the copolymer-treated cotton fibers and produce dyed cotton fibers. Thereafter, the dyed cotton fibers are treated with a surfactant-stabilized aqueous acrylic polymer dispersion to give the fibers a worn or vintage character. | 08-29-2013 |

20130000057 | PREPARATION OF INDIGO-DYED COTTON DENIM FABRICS AND GARMENTS - Disclosed herein is the preparation of indigo-dyed cotton denim fabrics suitable for use in making cotton denim garments and other denim articles. These indigo-dyed fabrics are prepared from cotton warp yarn which has been pre-treated with an emulsion copolymer prior to being contacted with an aqueous dye liquor comprising a dispersion of an indigo dyestuff. Such copolymer-treated cotton warp yarn can be woven or knitted into cotton denim griege fabrics along with untreated cotton weft yarn. Such griege denim fabric can then be indigo-dyed using the aqueous dye liquor. Alternatively, the emulsion copolymer-treated cotton warp yarn can be indigo-dyed by contact with the aqueous dye liquor before this warp yarn is incorporated into denim fabric along with the untreated cotton weft yarn. The cotton denim fabric produced by either method has the appearance of conventional ring-dyed indigo fabrics. | 01-03-2013 |

20110005008 | VINYL ACETATE/ETHYLENE (VAE) COPOLYMERS FOR FABRIC FINISHING - A method of finishing a textile comprising the steps of: (a) preparing an aqueous finishing liquor comprising from 0.05 wt. % solids to 65 wt. % solids of a finishing resin selected from the group comprising: vinyl acetate emulsion resins, including copolymers such as vinyl acetate ethylene emulsions, vinyl acetate acrylics, acrylic emulsions, polyvinyl alcohol resins, including polyvinyl alcohol vinyl formamide copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol vinyl amine copolymers, sulfonic acid functionalized polyvinyl alcohol resins, modified polyvinyl alcohol resins generally; and mixtures thereof; (b) saturating the textile with the finishing liquor to incorporate the liquor into the textile so as to provide a wetted textile; and (c) processing the wetted textile at elevated temperature under conditions which are controlled such that the finishing resin is inter-associated with the fibers of the textile; wherein the finishing resin is durably and uniformly inter-associated with the textile fiber surfaces at an add-on level of from 0.05 wt. % to less than 65 wt. % and is operative to alter at least one comfort-related property of the textile. | 01-13-2011 |
20110009021 | COLORFASTNESS AND FINISHING COMPOUNDS - A colorfast textile comprising a yarn, fabric and/or garment and a colorfast composition including a polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol copolymer and, or combinations thereof. | 01-13-2011 |
20110009022 | FIRE RETARDANT FABRIC AND/OR APPAREL - A fire retardant fabric or garment comprising: a fabric or garment and a fire retardant composition including a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer, a vinyl acetate copolymer an acrylic emulsion, and vinyl acrylic emulsion or a combination thereof. | 01-13-2011 |
20120246842 | DISPERSE DYEING OF TEXTILE FIBERS - A dyed fibrous material comprising a plurality of textile fibers, particularly cotton fibers, and a polymer bonded to the fibers and to a disperse dye material to affix the dye material to the fibrous material. | 10-04-2012 |
20130227759 | Fabrics Containing a Blend of Polyarylene Sulfide and Textile Fibers - A fabric that contains a blend of textile and polyarylene sulfide fibers is provided. At least a portion of the textile fibers, polyarylene sulfide fibers, or a combination thereof are coated with an emulsion copolymer that is crosslinked. The copolymer composition is cured after it is applied to the fibers to initiate the formation of crosslink bonds between the emulsion copolymer and create a three-dimensional network that is capable of coating and encapsulating the fibers. It is believed that this three-dimensional network is able to physically entrap disperse additives when applied to the fibers. Still further, the present inventors have discovered that the emulsion copolymer can uniformly coat the fibers and thus readily receive the additive, which eliminates the need for high temperatures and/or pressures during a dyeing process, for example, and can also result in a relatively uniform coating of the additive on the fibers. | 09-05-2013 |
20130227800 | Polyarylene Sulfide Fibers Containing an Emulsion Copolymer Coating - A fibrous material that contains polyarylene sulfide fibers coated with an emulsion copolymer is provided. The emulsion copolymer that is coated onto the polyarylene sulfide fibers is crosslinked. For example, the copolymer may contain a reactive co-monomer that acts as a crosslinking agent. Alternatively, a separate crosslinking agent may be combined with the emulsion copolymer. In either case, the resulting copolymer composition is cured after it is applied to the fibers to initiate the formation of crosslink bonds between the emulsion copolymer and create a three-dimensional network that is capable of coating and encapsulating the fibers. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that this three-dimensional network is able to physically entrap disperse dyes when applied to the fibers. | 09-05-2013 |

20120321899 | Polyurethane Panel - Building panels are ubiquitous in the building industry and are used to form walls, doors or other partitions, either of a structural or non-structural nature. Polyurethane can be formed into a panel which is rigid and can function in the same manner as conventional panels formed from wood and other material. The panel is able to be cut, screwed, drilled, painted, laminated or veneered. While laminating or veneering polyurethane panels with, for example, melamine or plywood, improves strength and rigidity, this is at a cost to flexibility and, consequently, the applicability of panels. The invention defined herein therefore relates to an improved polyurethane panel which overcomes the disadvantages of those which have gone before. The panel of the invention finds particular use, although not exclusive use, in building and construction. | 12-20-2012 |
