Definitions

  • Fibers from melamine / formaldehyde condensation products are known e.g. from DE-B 23 64 091. They are characterized by incombustibility, Flame resistance and high heat resistance. Because of these properties, they are used to manufacture refractory textiles used. Enough for some uses however, the tensile strength of the fibers is not sufficient in other areas of application the low abrasion resistance proves to be disadvantageous.
  • the invention was therefore based on the object on the one hand Properties of melamine resin fibers and on the other hand the properties of natural fibers to improve.
  • fiber mixtures were found, as well as others Fibers and / or metal fibers or conductive polymer fibers included as well as a process for their preparation and use of the fiber mixtures according to the invention for the production of Fabrics, fleeces, yarns, tapes and moldings and their use of melamine resin fibers for the production of the invention Fiber blends.
  • Substituted melamines which are particularly suitable for the invention are the following compounds: Meiamines substituted with the 2-hydroxyethylamino group, such as 2- (2-hydroxyethylamino) -4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-di- (2-hydroxyethylamino) -6-amino-1, 3,5-triazine, 2,4,6-tris- (2-hydroxyethylamino) -1,3,5-triazine, melamines substituted with the 2-hydroxyisopropylamino group, such as 2- (2-hydroxyisopropylamino) -4,6- diamino-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4-di- (2-hydroxyisopropylamino) -6-amino-1,3,5-triazine, 2,4,6-tris (2-hydroxyisopropylamino) -1, 3,5-triazine, melamines substituted with the 5-hydroxy-3
  • Preferred phenols are phenol, 4-methylphenol, 4-tert-butyl-phenol, 4-n-octyl-phenol, 4-n-nonyl-phenol, Pyrocatechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone, particularly preferred Phenol, resorcinol and 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane.
  • Formaldehyde is usually used as an aqueous solution with a Concentration of, for example, 40 to 50% by weight or in the form of in the reaction with (A) and (B) formaldehyde-providing compounds, for example as oligomeric or polymeric formaldehyde in solid form such as paraformaldehyde, 1,3,5-trioxane or 1,3,5,7-tetroxocan.
  • Fibers can be made of non-combustible or flame retardant materials such as m- and p-aramids, glass, Polyimides, polybenzimidazoles, carbon, preoxidized polyacrylonitrile as well as fibers made of thermoplastics such as high-strength polyethylene, polypropylene, polyesters, polyamides, polyvinyl chloride or use polyvinyl alcohols.
  • non-combustible or flame retardant materials such as m- and p-aramids, glass, Polyimides, polybenzimidazoles, carbon, preoxidized polyacrylonitrile as well as fibers made of thermoplastics such as high-strength polyethylene, polypropylene, polyesters, polyamides, polyvinyl chloride or use polyvinyl alcohols.
  • Metal fibers can be, for example, those based on Use stainless steel.
  • the conductive polymer fibers can be those with a core Use polyamide, polyester and a conductive coating as well metal-coated melamine resin fibers as described in EP-A 528 192, preferably those with a core made of polyester.
  • metal-coated is used Melamine resin fibers, preferably aluminum-coated Melamine resin fibers, including blends of uncoated and metal-coated melamine resin fibers are.
  • the melamine resin fibers for example aluminum as a film or stick on an aluminum vapor-coated foil, or the melamine resin fibers Steam with aluminum in a high vacuum.
  • the layer thickness of the metal layer, in particular the aluminum layer in the range from 10 to 150 ⁇ m, preferably from 50 to 100 ⁇ m.
  • tissue e.g. Gentex Corp., Carbondale PA,
  • Such yarns are preferred with aluminum in layer thicknesses in the range of 10 - 100 ⁇ m coated.
  • Such yarns are based on, for example described in DE-AS 27 43 768, DE-A 38 10 597 or EP-A 528 192 Process can be produced.
  • Fabrics from the mixtures according to the invention are very suitable for protective suits for welding and steel production, in particular to protect against convective heat, radiant heat as well liquid metal splashes.
  • thermoplastic fibers which are obtained from the inventive Fiber mixtures containing thermoplastic fibers can be produced by customary methods to form parts process like protective hoods for heat insulation, whereby the thermoplastic fibers generally act as binding fibers.
  • the fiber mixtures according to the invention can be used for Production of yarns and tapes in a manner known per se and Use way.
  • a needle felt with a basis weight of 400 g / m 2 was produced from a mixture of 50 parts of melamine resin fibers (as in Example 1) and 50 parts of cotton not treated with flame retardants (by needling with a machine from Fa Pilo).
  • the fleece produced in this way was examined for its fire behavior as described in Example 1. Result: the fleece could be classified in fire class s b .
  • Example 3 was repeated with the mixture from Example 2.
  • the maximum tensile force of the calendered fleece was 620 N.
  • a yarn with a thickness of 50 tex was produced by the rotor spinning process from a mixture consisting of 60% by weight of Basofil® (as in Example 1) and 40% by weight of cotton not treated with flame retardants (as in Example 1).
  • a double twist was then produced on a conventional twisting machine. Gloves were made from this thread on a conventional finger-knitted glove machine.
  • the weight per glove was 54 g.
  • the weight per unit area was 800 g / m 2 .
  • EN 702 a threshold value time of 14.6 seconds was measured at a contact temperature of 250 ° C.
  • Basofil® from BASF
  • New Zealand wool 35% by weight of commercially available New Zealand wool
  • steel fiber 1% by weight of steel fiber (diameter 6 ⁇ m, 36 mm length).
  • a fabric with a basis weight of 275 g / m 2 with a plain weave was then produced from this yarn.
