AQUEOUS POLYOLEFIN DISPERSIONS FOR TEXTILE IMPREGNATION

摘要

The present invention provides an article formed by impregnating a fibrous
structure with a compound, the compound including an aqueous dispersion, the
dispersion having (a) at least one polymer selected from the group consisting
of an ethylene-based thermoplastic polymer, a propylene-based thermoplastic
polymer, and mixtures thereof; (b) at least one polymeric stabilizing agent;
and (c) water; and removing at least a portion of the water from the
impregnated fibrous structure. The present invention also provides a method of
forming a stiffened textile. The method may include the steps of: forming a
compound, the compound including an aqueous dispersion having (a) at least one
polymer selected from the group consisting of an ethylene-based thermoplastic
polymer, a propylene-based thermoplastic polymer, and mixtures thereof, (b) at
least one polymeric stabilizing agent, and (c) water; impregnating a textile
with the compound; and removing at least a portion of the water from the
impregnated textile.
