Definitions

  • Basalt fibers are well known in the art. They were developed starting in the seventies - mainly in the ex-USRR, with noted activities in the USA and to a lesser degree in Italy, UK, France, Germany - initially as wool, later on the basis of continuous extruded filaments.
  • Basalt fibers are sized at the filament extrusion step in order to improve some of their properties, like smoothening of the filament surface (i.e. filling possible surface micro cracks and hiding surface defects) to reduce the probability of filament breakage and decreasing the fiber friction coefficient to facilitate further processing steps as weaving, knitting, braiding, etc.
  • US 4778844 teaches for example polyurethane flame retardant products consisting of polyurethane foam, possibly combined with basalt fibers or wool.

  • Figure 6 shows a specific process for the manufacture of a double coated basalt fabric.
  • the naked basalt fabric 1 enters in a bath 20 containing a primer solution or a primer dispersion.
  • the naked fabric provided with a primer coating is then passing between nip rolls 21 so as to remove excess primer composition.
  • the naked fabric can then be moved, if necessary, in a dryer 22 or a system for accelerating the curing of the primer on the naked fabric.
  • the basalt fabric is submitted to a treatment for removing at least partly the sizing agent (such as silane and/or paraffin) possibly used for coating the basalt filament
  • a treatment for removing at least partly the sizing agent such as silane and/or paraffin
  • the drying or curing of the primer is for example made by hot air, IR heating, heat nitrogen gas, C0 2 gas, microwave, etc., the primer being for example heated or cured at a temperature from 50°C up to 200°C.
  • the fabric provided with a primer coating is submitted to a cooling step 23, so as to reduce the temperature of the fabric to less than 25°C.
  • the fabric 1 with a primer coating is then passing through the bath 24 containing an aqueous dispersion of silicone elastomer.
  • the fabric is then moved through nip rolls 25 for removing excess silicone elastomer.
  • a knife coater such as a knife over air enduction ,26 is then used for coating the upper face of the fabric with a sufficient and regular amount of silicone elastomer. Said coater distributes silicone elastomer on the upper face of the fabric.
  • the so coated fabric is then moved in a heating chamber or in a curing chamber 27 for enabling a quick cure of the silicone elastomer.
  • the drying or curing of the silicone elastomer is for example made by hot air, IR heating, heat nitrogen gas, C0 2 gas, microwave, etc., the primer being for example heated or cured at a temperature from 50°C up to 250°C.
  • the nip-rolls are for example adapted for admitting a controlled pressure between the rolls, for example a pressure comprised between 2 10 5 Pa and 10 10 5 Pa. Said nipp-rolls are moved in relation to the movement of the fabric.
  • the so obtained fabric is provided with a thick upper silicone elastomer layer and with thin lower silicone elastomer layer.
  • the fabric has to be provided with two thick silicone elastomer layers, one on its lower face and another on its upper face, it is possible to use a system for reversing the fabric after coating the upper face of the fabric with a silicone elastomer with a knife coater, whereby the lower face becomes the upper face which can then be further treated with a knife coater for distributing uniformly a silicone elastomer.
  • aqueous primer dispersion and aqueous silicone elastomer dispersion are preferably used, especially for safety purposes, for environmental purposes, etc. and as it seems that the presence of water in both dispersions seems to be adequate for increasing the possible hydrolysis and/or curing of the primer and/or silicone elastomer.
  • the silicone elastomer used in said process is preferably halogen free.
  • fabrics examples include woven fabric, design fabrics (plain, sateen, twill, etc.), knitted flat fabric, three dimensional fabrics, etc., such as knitted tubes, braided fabrics such as in tubes, non woven fabric, needlefelt fabrics, etc.
  • the product of the invention can have various uses, such as for making inner layers in wall, floor, ceiling panels, fire resistance panels, covering laminates, such as for car floor, seats, cushions, fire resistant mattresses, protective clothing, such as gloves, pancho's for forest fire fighters, tapes, canisters, tubes, heat protection envelope (such as for pipe, valves, cables, electrical cables.
  • construction wall, floor and ceiling paneling for building-in fire resistance, fire curtains such as automatically falling down to segment buildings, manufacturing halls, storage areas, tunnel, electrical wire insulation, fire blocking interliners with a thermal insulation function, etc. in case of fire ;
  • the coating with the silicone elastomer is advantageously carried out substantially just after the treatment of the basalt fabric with the primer composition.
  • the silicone elastomer coating is carried out less than 30minutes, advantageously less than 15 minutes, most preferably less than 5 minutes after the end of the treatment of the basalt fabric with the primer composition.
