METHOD FOR COATING FIBERS AND YARNS AND THE COATED PRODUCTS FORMED THEREFROM

摘要

A method for coating one or more yarn components, either individually or in an assembled configuration, with a (co)polymer coating is provided involving (i) immersing the one or more yarn components, either individually or as an assembled unit of two or more of said yarn components, in a treatment bath containing a carrier medium and a (co)polymer that can be dissolved or dispersed in the carrier medium; (ii) removing the one or more yarn components from the treatment bath; and (iii) evaporating excess carrier medium from the one or more yarn components to thereby form a coating of the (co)polymer on a surface of the one or more yarn components; and the coated yarn products formed thereby.
