Abstract
Textile flat-shaped structures exhibiting specific properties, such as flame-resistance or adsorbing capacity, are required for technical purposes, said structures being at the same time characterized by a high flexibility and tensile strength, as well as good wearing characteristics when used for protective suits. This is achieved by the invention by yarns that are sheathed with active ingredients, such as adsorbents, fire-proofing agents, ion-exchangers, decontaminating agents for chemical combat agents, catalysts or fixed enzymes. The active ingredients are adhered to the surface of the yarn or embedded in a binding agent. The sheathing may be additionally braided or flocked.
Claims20
An adsorptive yarn comprising
- (a) a yarn constituting a core,
- (b) a sheath surrounding the core yarn (a) and comprising a binder having embedded therein activated carbon particles, the sheath thickness ranging from 25 to 300% of the core diameter, the binder being present in from 5 to 200 percent by weight of the carbon particles, and
- (c) a fiber flock held to the sheath (b) by its binder and imparting to the overall yarn textile-yarn feel, appearance and performance.
A reactive yarn comprising
- (a) a yarn constituting a core,
- (b) a sheath surrounding the core yarn (a) and comprising a binder having embedded therein particles of a flame-retardant, the sheath thickness ranging from 25 to 300% of the core diameter, the binder being present in from 5 to 200 percent by weight of the flame-retardant particles, and
- (c) a fiber flock held to the sheath (b) by its binder and imparting to the overall yarn textile-yarn feel, appearance and performance.
