Abstract
The present invention relates to a flame-retardant carpet suitable for the interior of means of transport, preferably aircraft, comprising a machine-woven or mechanically woven carpet, comprising warp and weft threads, a needle felt, an intermediate layer between the needle felt and the machine-woven or mechanically woven fabric, in which a part of the warp threads on the rear side of the machine-woven or mechanically woven fabric have at least partially fused to each other. The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of a flame-retardant carpet suitable for the interior of means of transport, in particular aircraft.
Claims14
A flame-retardant carpet suitable for use inside means of transport, preferably aircraft, including:
- a mechanically woven fabric with a maximum weight of 650 g/m2, comprising a front side as a use surface and a back side, comprising warp and weft yarns of essentially 100% thermoplastic flame retardant polyester (PES),
- a needle felt with a maximum weight of 220 g/m2 of essentially 100% thermoplastic flame retardant polyester (PES),
- an intermediate layer between the needle felt and the mechanically woven fabric with a maximum weight of 180 g/m2,
- wherein some of the warp threads on the back side of the mechanically woven fabric have at least partially fused to each other.
A method for the manufacture of a flame-retardant carpet suitable for the interior of means of transport, preferably aircraft, comprising:
- the mechanical weaving of a fabric with a maximum weight of 650 g/m2, comprising a front side as a use surface and a back side, comprising warp and weft yarns of essentially 100% thermoplastic flame retardant polyester (PES),
- the manufacture of a needle felt with a maximum weight of 220 g/m2 of essentially 100% thermoplastic flame retardant polyester (PES),
- the lamination of the needle felt with a maximum weight of 180 g/m2 to the fabric by means of an intermediate layer,
- wherein the method comprises the further step prior to lamination of directing the backside of the fabric along a heated surface to at least partially melt some of the warp threads at the backside of the mechanically woven fabric together.
The manufacture of a carpet suitable for use inside means of transport, preferably aircraft, the carpet comprising:
- a mechanically woven fabric with a maximum weight of 650 g/m2, comprising a front side as a use surface and a back side, comprising warp and weft yarns of essentially 100% thermoplastic flame retardant polyester (PES),
- a needle felt with a maximum weight of 220 g/m2 of essentially 100% thermoplastic flame retardant polyester (PES),
- an intermediate layer between the needle felt and the mechanically woven fabric with a maximum weight of 180 g/m2,
- wherein some of the warp threads on the back side of the mechanically woven fabric have at least partially fused to each other;
- the carpet made according to a method comprising:
- the mechanical weaving of a fabric with a maximum weight of 650 g/m2, comprising a front side as a use surface and a back side, comprising warp and weft yarns of essentially 100% thermoplastic flame retardant polyester (PES),
- the manufacture of a needle felt with a maximum weight of 220 g/m2 of essentially 100% thermoplastic flame retardant polyester (PES),
- the lamination of the needle felt with a maximum weight of 180 g/m2 to the fabric by means of an intermediate layer,
- wherein the method comprises the further step prior to lamination of directing the backside of the fabric along a heated surface to at least partially melt some of the warp threads at the backside of the mechanically woven fabric together.
