Test 3 Flashcards
what is a web
soft, flexible, porous material that lacks strength and durability
why was chemical bonding so popular when it started?
because we had used chemicals on other things before
what was the problem with resigns and glues?
makes it very stiff
what is the best way to use resign?
only use a little at the crossover points to leave pore spaces open
what does chemical bonding struggling with?
balancing stiffness but still being strong
In chemical bonding the fabric can only be as strong as what
the binder
what can binders do over time?
discolor fabrics as they get older
cross linkables need what
a linking agent
process of using binders?
we apply binder then remove water or solvent with heating
what is in an aqueous solution?
monomers, catalyst, and an initiative to get the process started which will come together to make a polymer
what are most chemical binders made from?
water-bone latex so its easier to remove the liquid
what percent is the binder applied on?
5-60%
if we are only using chemical bonding what do we need?
higher levels of chemicals
how does saturation bonding work?
submerge fabric in solution, nip rollers will squeeze out excess,
do we get more absorption with padding or saturation?
padding
what is print bonding used for?
put a pattern
what does foam bonding work well with
thick fabrics
what is power bonding
disperse on fabric and then goes through. oven to bond together
what is a drum dryer
heat fabric over drum and pull through with a vacuum
what is a floation dryer
on conveyor belt and blows hot air
what is the downfall to the infrared oven
not the best choice because it gets so hot that if we have to stop equpiment we will lose everything under it
what is the infrared oven best used for
to preheat fabrics
advantages of chemical bonding with medical textiles (4)
wet and dry strength, soft, not irritating, absorpent
advanatges of chemcial bondinf wirh interlingin (3)
can adjust TG, good hand strength
advantages of chemical bonding with roofing (2)
long term weather ability, hot strength
advantages of chemical bodning with filters (3)
pleat ability, solvent resistance, flame retardant
advanategs of chemicla bonding with furnitaure (3)
color, outdoor durability, compression recovery
how does thermal bonding work?
fibers are bonded by heat, than we cool and wind on a roll
what products are best for thermal bonding?
thick high loft webs
why do we not want fabrics to melt in thermal bonding?
if they melt they will stick to the roll, we want them to soften enouhg to get the chain motion
how do fibers stick together in thermal bonding?
we et flow at fiber to fiber crossover points then soft enough to stick together
where do we bond with thermal bonding
at crossover points
how do we get chains entangled?
we heat them up enough for them to get tangled to the point of being unable to get untangled
how many chain entanglements do we need for the fabric to be bonded?
2
what are the fiber requirements for thermal bonding
need a thermoplastic fiber or some sort of blend with a thermoplatic finfer
what are the 3 binders for thermal bonding
fibers, powders, webs
what are the 4 types of thermal bonding
calendering, thru air, ultrasonic, infrared
what is confuction and which type of thermal bonding uses it
heated by 2 objects touching
calendering
what is convection and what type of thermal bonding uses it?
air is heated
thru air bonding
what is radiation and what type of thermal bonding uses it?
light carries heat
ultrasonic
what si work and what type of thermal bonding uses it?
rubbing 2 things together
ultrasonic
what is calendering bonding
heated fabric will pass through hot rolls
how are mechanical propoerties determined by calender bonding
bond pattern what is pattern of rolls how big is bond area distance between bonds perfect of fabric bonded
more crossover points =
more bonding and stiffer
how is cooling normally done for calendering bonding
with room temperature air at high speeds
what is area bonding
every crossover point in bonded
