<p>1360307 Foam coated fabric BURLING- TON INDUSTRIES Inc 22 Feb 1972 [23 Feb 1971] 8135/72 Addition to 1273468 Heading B2E A foam-laminated fabric is produced by applying to one side of a textile fabric a foamed or foamable polymeric composition including a cross-linkable acrylic polymer and a plasticizer therefor, if necessary foaming the foamable polymeric composition, gelling the foamed polymeric composition, impregnating the textile fabric and the gelled foamed polymeric composition with a cross-linkable resin, and thereafter heating the foam-coated textile fabric to cure the resin. The textile fabric may be woven or knitted or non-woven and may be made of cotton, wool, sisal, jute, linen, silk, regenerated cellulose rayon, polynosic rayon, cellulose esters, polyacrylonitrile, acrylonitrilevinyl chloride polymers, polyamides, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyesters, rubber, synthetic rubber, glass. The acrylic polymer may be a styrene-acrylic acid copolymer and may be internally or externally plasticized. Foams may be applied by roll, roller coating, casting, knife over table and doctor blade over tables. Foams may include pigments or dyes. The exposed surface of the foam may be printed on or embossed. The cross-linkable resin is preferably an aminoplast applied from aqueous solutions or dispersions optionally containing softeners, water repellant silicone, and a catalyst for curing the cross-linking resin. After the resin has been cured, the fabric may be subjected to compressive shrinkage. The completed fabric may also be treated with soil release coatings. The fabric may be made into drapes by hemming a length thereof at the top, bottom and side edges, reinforcing the top edge with a strip of stiffening material and pleating the top hem. The fabrics may also be used for slip covers, upholstery, tablecloths and wall coverings.</p> |
