FLEXIBLE CHEMICALLY TREATED FIBERS AND COATED FABRICES THEREOF

摘要

Coated fabrics produced with more flexible bundles of filaments are possible with the flexible bundle of filaments of the present invention. The flexible bundle of filaments comprise a plurality of sized filaments having the moisture-reduced partially cured coating and impregnant of an aqueous chemical coating composition. The composition has a vinyl-containing interpolymer with one or more comonomers and a self-crosslinking polymeric material and water. Optionally, there may be present one or more aqueous emulsifiable or dispersible waxes, aqueous dispersible or emulsifiable plasticizers and/or one or more aqueous dispersible or emulsifiable diene-containing elastomers. The diene-containing elastomer is always present when the comonomer of the ethylene-containing interpolymer tends decrease the noncrystallinity of the interpolymer or increase the glass transition temperature of the interpolymer.
